I’m happy to kick off this event and will be featuring products from Super Sponsor Doodlebugs. Here’s how I was inspired:

Oh my goodness, I had so much fun designing today’s project!  Any guesses what was my inspiration?

I was so excited when I decided what direction I was going to go on my card.  These are the products I’m featuring:

  • Concord & 9th – Cup of Kindness | stamp + dies
  • Concord & 9th – Holiday Sayings | dies
  • Concord & 9th – Festive Corner Cuts | dies
  • Spellbinders – Santa’s Sipping Sayings | stamp
  • Altenew – Gilded Glitter | cardstock

The cup has been cut in white and then I used the oval die in the center.  The white embossed sentiment has been slipped underneath the cup.

I used the silver glitter cardstock to kick up the festive look. The poinsettia blooms and foliage are from the Festive Corner Cuts.

If you’re in the Coffee Loving Papercrafters FB group, you might recognize the Starbucks photo.  I shared it there and my discovery of their Gingerbread Oatmilk Chai Latte. It’s absolutely delish.

That’s it for me today! I can’t wait to see how my teamies are inspired!  We also have two guest designers that are joining us for this event too!

Keep up with all of the Coffee and Christmas Cheer posts HERE.

Remember to leave a comment to be eligible to win one of the fabulous prizes. Commenting will be open until Thursday, December 14th at 11:55 pm pacific. Wrap up post will be on Friday, December 15th.

Cheers!
Amy
