<p><strong><a href="http://coffeelovingcardmakers.com/" target="_blank">Coffee Loving Cardmakers</a></strong> blog is hosting the Holiday/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop that starts today, 12/11/2015, through next Friday, 12/18/2015. This is one festive and fun blog hop with LOTS of Giveaways from amazing sponsors!</p>
<p>This is a link up party and blog hop for coffee, tea and cocoa loving cardmakers, papercrafters and crafters/DIYers. It is when we all can share any projects we create based on the theme provided. And for this time, of course, the theme is Holiday or/and Winter. It means that we are challenges to create our project using either coffee, tea and/or images on it.</p>
<p>The Link Up is live <strong><a href="http://wp.me/p5K3PQ-4w" target="_blank">here</a></strong> where you can link up your project(s) and also you can find the details how to enter the giveaways!</p>
<p>Here are some fun dates for you to create projects <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><br />
December 13th -&gt; National Cocoa Day<br />
December 15th -&gt; International Tea Day</p>
<p>If you like sharing your project on social media platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, etc., you can use this hashtag: #holidayclh</p>
<p>During this week, I will share my projects and there is a giveaway, too, from me <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> So keep reading to find out how you can enter. And now to my first project. I made a card with giftcard holder.</p>

<p>I used <a href="http://shopverve.com/lalodifr.html"><strong>Verve Stamps free digital stamp</strong></a>. I printed them on <a href="http://creatingjoyfully.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=8651"><strong>CTMH Watercolor cardstock</strong></a>, watercolored cup using <a href="http://creatingjoyfully.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=1002"><strong>CTMH Watercolor Pencils</strong></a> and wet it using watercolor brush. Usually I would clear embossed the image, since these images are print out, so I was super careful when I wet the colors.</p>
<p>I think this card a some bling, so I added a gold snowflake with clear gems from a pack I got from Walmart.</p>
