   This is my final card for the “Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop” hosted by coffeelovingcardmakers.com. I’ve participated in this challenge for several years and almost missed it this year because of some family health issues. But I was able to create three cards. I remembered making a pull-top coffee cup card at a class back in the 90’s, and after some trial and error, was able to create this similar card, using a digi from Patties Creations Challenge as the base. (If you spend a little time on Pinterest, you can find several different versions of this type of card.)  I found the fun sentiment on a card many years ago, and it still makes me chuckle… mainly because I think it is a very good idea!) 

Supplies: 

·   Digi- Pattie’s Creations Digi (A freebie from Sept 2022 that appears to no longer be available.)

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers, and a Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Inside Sentiment- Source unknown (if you can provide this information, I’ll be happy to cite it!)   

·   All other items from my stash.

Pattie's Creations Challenge- #212November

I joined a FB group named "Printables for your Junk Journaling with TLC" a few years ago, and really enjoy the wonderful freebies and affordable digis that are available to members. The leaves on this card and the front sentiment are freebies from a recent challenge on that site. The inside sentiment is from a Beccy’s Place digi set.

Supplies: 

·   Leaves and front sentiment are freebies from the TLC FB page. (Join HERE, then start downloading digis and sentiments!)

·   Leaves and front sentiment are from a free TLC Creates digi sheet named “Autumn Blessings”

·   Inside Sentiment- “Thankful, Grateful, Blessed” from a Beccy’s Place Digi Set (Pumpkin and Spice)

·   All other items from my stash.

My last card this post features one of the first stamps I ever purchased, back in the late 1990’s. This pudgy little snowguy is a wood-mount rubber stamp made by a company named Azadi Earles. I was looking for a stamp with an unusual hat for the current challenge at Christmas Craft Creations Challenge and I think this one is a winner!

Supplies: 

·    Snowman Image- Azadi Earles Rubber Stamp (Company no longer in business)

·    Inside Sentiment- unmounted rubber stamp from an unknown company

·    Colored with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·    Puffy Heart Stickers- The brand name is Sticko’s

·    Stickers-All other items from my stash.
