Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop Day 8

Hi friends! Well, it's the final day of the Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop and I'm back with another wintry coffee card to share. It's been a real treat having the time to leisurely create for one of these hops. So much fun to use my hoard of coffee stamps! 😆 This afternoon is the deadline for linking up your cards for the hop.


Last night when I was making my card, my little art director Trevor was helping out. He saw the stamped and colored image and said, "A snowman... with a coffee cup!  He's adoooooooorable!" Totally made me laugh. Later when I was trying to decide on more embellishments, he said, "you should probably stop while you're ahead. It's perfect."  Hahaha! Six year olds tell it like it is with no sugar coating, so I took his advice and stopped while I was ahead! 😊

Back at the start, I knew I wanted to have this cute little snowman from the Cool Friend set holding a coffee cup.  So I started with a little masking and stamping just the coffee cup that the elephant is holding in the Coffee and You set. I then masked off the coffee cup and stamped the snowman in midnight ink and embossed with clear embossing powder.  I colored the sweet little image with Copic markers, then masked off the snowman to do some very subtle ink blending of snowy hills in the background with soft pool ink.  The shape is cut with a tag die, then I sponged more ink around the edges and added a bit of nuvo drops for sparkle.  My only embellishment is some flatback pearls for the falling snow.


The sentiment is from Cool Friend and embossed in white on black cardstock. I backed my card with some fabulous paper from the Winter Solstice 6 x 6 pad and I was finished.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a fabulous day.
