Day 3: Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop...Warm Wishes

 

Hello there inky friends!  It's DAY 3 of the Fall Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!  Have you hopped with us yet?  Have you found some awesome inspiration?  I sure have!  I'm hopping along trying to keep up with all the fun posts and have identified several FAVORITES so far.  I'm so inspired.  

Join the fun and hop along with us!  You can upload any crafty project that relates to our theme...and must contain coffee/tea/cocoa or cider theme.  :). Play along by sharing your project HERE.  Thanks again to all the SUPER SPONSORS who are contributing some amazing prizes!  

Today, I'm featuring a card created using the fun images/ink and papers from Super Sponsor Richard Garay 88 and Clear!  As Richard transitions his company to a new brand "88 and Clear", he has begun sharing fabulous new RED RUBBER to the stamp collection.  Not only can you purchase RED RUBBER, you can also purchase clear stamps and digital images!  

I'm playing with this adorable new RED RUBBER set called "Merry Merry".  It's a cute set that includes this adorable snowman, a cute Reindeer, a sweet cupcake, presents, snowflakes and sentiments too.  Choc full of FUN!  

I created the fun background using the snowflakes and Tangy Berry, Sour Watermelon and Sour Crush  sugar cube inks on a piece of Tangy Berry cardstock.  I then created a tag by stamping the spiced drink mug and snowflakes onto some Powdered Sugar cardstock.  I stamped the snowman onto Powdered sugar cardstock, colored it with Copics and then fussy cut the image so that I could attach it to the card.  

I wanted the sentiment to stand out so I stamped it onto a separate tag and attached it to the main tag before attaching everything to the top of my white card base.  Of course, I have an infatuation with buttons and ribbon, so I made sure to include those on this card.  :).

Thanks so much for hopping over to check out my card.  I hope it inspires you to create something yummy!  I'll be back again tomorrow with another fun project inspired by super delicious mocha chocolate!

TCP Tuesday #374: TAG It!

Hello there it's the start of a new TCP Tuesday challenge and we're getting all excited about the TAGS!  Here's your chance to get crackin' on those gift tags...or possibly create some tags that you can tuck goodies and gift cards inside!  That's what I'm sharing today!  

Make sure to join the fun and play along with our fun Tag challenge.  Just create a tag- any tag, and post your creation on our blog post here.  We'll select a lucky crafter to win a special TCP Prize...That's it.. It's that EASY!  

My tag is a fun little envelope tag that you can tuck a little gift card or perhaps a little moolah inside!  To make this type of tag card, all you have to do is fold an envelope and decorate the front side.  Trim the edges to make the card into a tag shape, punch a hole and thread some ribbon, twine or seam binding through the hole.  

I stamped the cute "Roll With It" set and colored with Copic markers then diecut the fun Farm Duo die using brown cardstock and using some polkadot paper from my stash.  I then assembled everthing to the top of the folded kraft envelope then trimmed the corners to make a tag shape.  I tied some  black seam binding on the envelope to secure the card/tag closed and then mounted the elements onto the card.

So fun, so simple and so handy!  Now I have a sweet little tag to send to a loved one with a special gift card tucked inside.  

Thanks for hopping over!  I hope my project inspires you to create something fun and useful!
