Fall Winter Coffee Lover Blog Hop - Tis the Season

Hello friends,

I managed to get another card done for the Fall Winter Coffee Lover Blog Hop -yay, with just a couple of hours to spare before the linky closes.  However I will need to come back in a few hours to complete this post with all the details and maybe some better photos, as here in Australia it is dinner time - and I have the feed the kids and get them sorted for bed!!

.....I'm back, nearly 24 hours later!!  This card came together fairly fast thankfully.  I normally mull over an idea or card design for ages before I even get the supplies out, but with this one, I knew I only had a few hours before the linky closed so I just went for it.  I am really happy with how in turned out.

I started by die-cutting the postage stamp collage from white cardstock, I then used the coordinating collage block stencil to add a little vintage photo distress oxide to the stamps.  While the stencil was still in pace, I stamped with Fa la la background stamp from Hero Arts with Concord and 9th wheat ink.  I then cut the postage stamps apart using scissors.

I used the mini mugs from MFT stamps once again and die-cut them from white cardstock.  I ink blended them with inks from Concord and 9th.  I also die-cut elements from the Christmas garnish die set from MFT.  Unfortunately this die is no longer available and was an add-on for MFT barware die-namics.  I coloured in the elements with my copics. The colours are listed below. I adhered the christmas elements to the mugs with liquid glue and foam mounted the mugs on the postage stamps.

For my card panel I embossed a A2 panel with In the Pines embossing folder from Spellbinders, i trimmed it slightly and added it to an A2 panel of desert storm cardstock.  I choose my arrangement and then foam mounted the stamps onto my card front.  The sentiment was stamped in brown ink, die-cut and then adhered onto the postage stamp.
