Countdown to Confetti - Christmas Circles & Drink More Coffee

Welcome to Day One of the Countdown to Confetti November release! Today we are sharing projects using the new Christmas Circles and Drink More Coffee with the matching Confetti Cuts. You may remember the Boo Yea! stamp set that was released in September, this is the Christmas version!

First up for me, I used Christmas Circles and created a couple of cards and gifts for the Holidays. I decided to use the circles to create a background. I used Parakeet and Salsa inks. I added the Snowflakes from Snowflake Trios. I used the new Scalloped Bag & Tags Creator to make a tag to add to one of the cards and then created quick tags for my Christmas mugs.

I filled my Christmas mugs with packets of hot chocolate, mini marshmallows and a small wooden spoon. I tied a bow around the marshmallows and the Scalloped Bag & Tag Creator made for really quick tag making! The Ho Ho Ho went very well with Santa.

Here is a close up of the tag.

For this Snowman mug, I decided to add a green and red tag but used Lime Green ink instead of the Parakeet. Again, I stuffed by mug with some hot chocolate packets, mini marshmallows and a small wooden spoon. These are quick gifts ready for the holidays!

I am so in the mood for Christmas right now. I know that we have not had Thanksgiving yet, but I am ready to start decorating my house and wrapping gifts. This stamp set really puts me in the mood for the holidays.

Up next, is Drink More Coffee. I have to admit that I am not a coffee drinker, but I love seeing the photos of coffee latte art. I love the designs that can be created. I decided to color mine like a latte and added glitter to the white areas. You cannot see it in the photos but in real like, it adds just the right amount of sparkle.

I layered my coffee cups onto the new Grid Stitched Tag that had been die cut from Salsa cardstock. I layered it onto some patterned paper from the new Winter Solstice paper pad. I die cut it with the Scalloped Bag & Tags Creator Confetti Cuts.

I placed my panel onto a Stone card base. I added some more patterned paper from Winter Solstice to the Grid Stitched Tag. I added some glittery enamel dots to finish my card off. I stamped a sentiment on the inside of the card.
