Cup of Happiness Christmas Card

Howdy!

 

Today I am sharing a card I created for the Split Coast stampers color challenge #714, Vanilla, Merlot and Under a Shady Spruce.  I used Fun Stampers Journey colors Butter Cream, Pomegranate Splash and Kiwi Slice.

 

 

For this challenge I chose to use one of the coffee cups and sentiments form the Coffee Helps stamp set and I stamped it in Pomegranate Splash ink.

 

I added shading to the cup using my Journey Color Burst pencils to make the coffee cup pop out of the card.  Don't you love the little sprig of greenery I added under the coffee cup to make it festive?  I also added texture to the background by embossing it with the Cozy Knit embossing folder.

Coffee Helps Shaker Card by Cindy Bristow

Coffee Helps Shaker Card

Howdy!

 

Yesterday I shared a monochromatic Christmas card and found the processes really calming, so I decided to try another monochromatic card today.  This time I used the Coffee Helps stamp set.

 

 

I really am loving the Cozy Knit embossing folder, although the pictures don't do it justice.  After I embossed the Butter Cream panel, I grabbed my Heart Felt die and centered one of the smaller hearts in the middle to make the shaker card.  The shade of blue I chose for my ink is Beach Breeze.  The sequins inside the shaker are called Clear Sparkle, but they are really iridescent, so they pick up what ever color they are paired with which actually make them perfect for doing almost any shaker card.

 

Here is a list of products used in this card:

Howdy!

 

You guys know how much I love my coffee, so today I am sharing a no-line watercolor card I did with the Coffee Helps stamp set.

 

 

I stamped the cup and the rings with Oatmeal Cookie ink so that the actually stamping fades once you start adding your Color Splash pencils.  I will be doing a live video on my Facebook page,  a little later in the day, so make sure you head on over to catch that for exactly how I water colored this card.  I also uploaded it to my YouTube Chanel
