Hello everyone… It is 3 days until Christmas Day! Our daughters are super excited and even the youngest one would want to change the Christmas to December 21 because she could not wait any more longer 😀 😀 😀

This week I am officially done with sending out Christmas cards, YAY! All sent out and cannot wait to start again next month 🙂

Today, I would like to share with you a praying/sympathy card:

I painted some of the Pearlescents Watercolor paint on a piece of Canson watercolor paper then I die cut it with ODBD – Double Stitched Rectangles Dies. I added it on the card base and I pop up the middle panel with 3D foam tape.

I die cut the ODBD –  Praying Border Die out of the blue and purple paper from Boho Bolds Paper Pad. I cut the extra border to fit in the middle panel. Then I over-lap the border die cut a little bit and glue them together with glue pen.

Then I die cut the pennants out of the same patterend and solid papers from the same paper pad using the ODBD custom dies: Pennant Flags Dies and Double Stitched Pennant Flags Dies. Then I stamped the sentiment from the Pennant Flag Verses clear stamps with Versafine Onyx Black ink pad.

I stacked the pennants together and then added them on the card with double sided tape. And added the stacked Praying border on top of the pennants with glue pen.

I love the ODBD Custom Dies because I can add embossed details on the die cut pieces, too. This card I keep it simple but has some layers on it too 🙂 And today I also play along at:

On my card today, I use Unity Stamp – October Kit Of The Month and Treats of Friendship stamp set from Close To My Heart (retired).

I stamped the tea cup and sentiment with Versafine Onyx Black on Canson watercolor paper and watercolored it with Spectrum Aqua Markers. I tear the bottom of the paper after that.

For the bottom background, I did heat-embossing resist with Koi watercolor paint. I stamped the snowflake with Versamark ink pad directly on the watercolor card base and heat-embossed them with clear embossing powder (CTMH) and Craft Heater. I added the Koi watercolor paint on it and love watching how the heat-embossed images resist the paint 🙂

I wrapped some May Arts Ribbon – Natural Twine around the panel and added it on the card base with 3D foam tape. I finished the card with some white snowflake sequins that I got from a crafty friend.

That’s all my card today and I hope you all got to enjoy your cup of tea today 🙂 THANKS a latte for visiting me today!

Today, I am sharing my coffee project with one of my favorite stamping companies, Our Daily Bread Designs! And they are one of the Super Sponsors for the first time.

I created my card using the stamp and dies from the new Coffee Bundle (Beverage Cup Dies, and I Love Coffee stamps). For the background I embossed the white cardstock using the Snowflake Sky Die. And I also use the Layered Lacey Ovals Dies and Ovals Dies for the sentiment.

The paper I used is one of their new paper collection, Holly Jolly. And I finished my card with some glitter on the cup using Spectrum Sparkle brush for extra bling on it 🙂

That’s my clean-and-simple, plus some layers card today. I hope this can inspire you to create and link up with us at Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!!

Hello everyone… I have one more coffee card to share with you on the Day 5 of the Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop 🙂 There are 2 posts earlier on coffee project here and hot cocoa project here.

It is 12 more days until Christmas Day and I gotta make couple more Christmas/Coffee cards for friends and send them out this week… This one is clean and simple with Christmas colors – red, green and white.

I stamped one of the cup from the new STAMPlorations – Coffee Petites with CUTplorations Stitched Circle Die set on a canson watercolor paper with Versafine Onyx Black ink, then I cut it out using the Circle Die. I colored the cup with Spectrum Aqua Markers and Spectrum Glitter brush.

For the mat background, I die cut a red cardstock with Craftin Desert Divas – Fancy Frames dies, then I stamped couple snowflakes from STAMPlorations – Framed Christmas: Peace Love Joy stamp set on it with Hero Arts – red mini ink pad, and added some glitter with Spectrum Glitter brush.

I stamped the sentiment from STAMPlorations – Framed Christmas: Peace Love Joy stamp set on the card with the Hero Arts – green mini ink pad. And finished the card with some snowflake sequins.

That’s my “last minute – CAS Christmas card” 😀 Thanks for visiting and have fabulous day!
