Coffee Loving Cardmakers for a Coffee Date!

 Hey there!  I am joining the Coffee Loving Cardmakers for a Coffee date today!  I am so excited to be Amy's Coffee date. Amy invited me years ago to be on a design team and we have worked virtually together for several years.  I just love her style and love to see what she is up to on her blog and instagram page!   She shared with me the inspiration photo below and I pulled the colors for my card using the inspiration photo!  Now, I must confess, I am not a coffee drinker but I do love hot chocolate!!!!  

I had the perfect stamp set that I picked up last year during the holidays but never stamped up! The stamp is from Elizabeth Craft Designs and it is called Marshmallow Snowmen.   It has the cutest images and I loved the one that I used on my card today! 

I used some stamp masking to mask off the peppermint candies with the hot chocolate mug.  I stamped the main image directly onto a die cut circle.  I colored the image with my Copic markers.   I love the little marshmallow snowman! How cute is he!  

I love the pinks and aquas in the inspiration photo and found the perfect colors to create this card!  

I stamped a sentiment from Concord & 9th called Mistletoe Messages.  It was perfect for a warm a toastsy greeting.   I used some patterned papers using the Reverse Confetti Winter Solstice.   For some finer details, I added some Distress Stickles in Diamond to the gumdrop cap and some details with a white gel pen.   

Hop over to the Coffee Loving Cardmarkers Blog and check out all the cute and fun inspiration just waiting for you!   She has a giveaway today to share!   Have fun! Cheers!
