Christmas Critters & Coffee

 5 challenges inspired today's card...


Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge // AUG2023 ...A caffeinated Christmas challenge using cute critters!!  Perfect since my new stamps just arrived this weekend with these cute little caffeinated mice.  Christmas is brewing in their neck of the woods...you can almost smell the coffee beans!!

Jingle Belles Challenge // #JB2317 ...A year round Christmas challenge!!  For this challenge we are to use Christmas trees.  These little critters find themselves on a Christmas tree farm serving up some Holiday brew.

Color Throwdown Challenge // #ctd755 ...A color challenge!!  Red, Yellow, Green, and White are the colors called for in this challenge.  I added a little bit of winter sunshine so that I had my yellow!!

Addicted to Stamps & More // #ATSM452 ...A Christmas challenge!!  ATSM has a Christmas challenge in their rotation of Christmas challenges...helps to keep us creating Christmas cards so that when December gets here we have a head start on things.

Never Before Used Schtuff // #NBUS53 ...A "never been used" challenge!!  I used new stamps and dies that arrived in the mail Saturday from the Colorado Craft Company.  I used part of the set on Saturday's card and today I inked up several more stamps from this new set that had never seen ink!!




Card #2 inspired by 3 challenge...

The Paper Players // #PP653 ...A color challenge!!  The colors called in this challenge are Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral, Sweet Sorbet, and Blackberry Bliss.

Addicted to CAS // #244 ...A code word challenge!!  LEAVES!!  Fall is just around the corner so it seems fitting to start on some fall themed card.

Just Add Ink // #JAI665 ...A "just add" challenge!!  Just add...clean & simple...so, make it a CAS card.  I kept this card very clean and simple with lots of white space.  Happy Fall Yall!!

  3. Fabulous cards Deb! I love the fun coffee themed Christmas card but the one you made for our challenge is gorgeous too. Love the score lines and the three simple leaves in beautiful autumnal colours. Thank you for playing with my Leaves challenge at Addicted to CAS! Vicky x
