Be Merry, Be Jolly, & Stay Cozy

 

4 challenges inspired today's card...

Inspire.Create.Challenge // #ICC183 ...A sketch challenge!!  This sketch was the starting point for today's card.  Thanks for the inspiration, it is always good to have a great sketch for building a card.

Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge // #CCCC36 ...A year round caffeinated Christmas challenge with a theme added!!  Christmas + Coffee + Snowman!!  These snowmen are gonna stay merry, jolly, and cozy with their line up of caffeinated goodness!!

Colorful Options // DEC2024 ...A monthly color challenge!!  For the month of December we are asked to use green (Just Jade designer papers), red (Real Red marker) and gold (Gold card stock for her bow & dividing strip and star embellishment on mug).

Allsorts Challenge // #AC812 ...An "anything goes" challenge with an optional twist!!  The optional twist for this challenge is to use dies...I used Stampin Up dies (bundled with their matching stamps) on their snowmen & their accessories, and a Newton's Nook die on their matching stamp of a row of mugs.

Since my Newton's Nook mug stamps and matching die are being used for the first time today I will showcase them over at Never Before Used Schtuff.  The NBUS blog doesn't give challenges but offers up a place to show off those items that have never been used.
