Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge: August

CCCC32

Hello my caffeinated friends,

Here is my card for the August challenge on the
Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge Blog

                                                    The theme is: Coffee and Cute Critters.


I treated myself to some new Penny Black stamps:
Brew-Tea-Ful set and
Overflowing

The cat and the sentiment are stamps i already have 
for a very long time.

The stamp of the cat is a cat in the box. 
So I stamped and embossed the cat and cut it out
after coloring. He is so comfy on the cup!

I embossed the sentiment in gold, really pretty on the card,
but hard to photograph.
I just love these new cups!

All the images are colored with the Tim Holtz distress crayons.

Thank you for looking and hope you
have a lovely and caffeinated day.

Caffeinated Christmas Challenge July 24: Stars


Hello my caffeinated crafty friends!

This month I knew quickly what to make for the

The theme this month is STARS.

This is my finished card with an image from
JessicaLynnOriginals - it is Brentwood!
He always appears when there is a Coffeelovers
blog hop.

For my card I used the new Distress SPRITZ
Tim Holtz just brought out. These have a wonderful
glimmer. I made the background with a star stencil.
I also used it on the image and some gold
(fossilized amber) on the sentiment.
It is a pity you cannot really see it.

Here a close up! I cut out  some stars and added
those on Brentwood and the cup on top of the hearts 
which were in the original digital stamp.

Thank you for looking and have a
wonderful caffeinated creative day!
