     These three cards were created for the current Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge and Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers {BYSHC} Falling for the Holidays 2024 Linky Party.
   
    

      The first features a sweet little fox stamp from a Lawn Fawn set named “Winter Fox” that I’ve had since 2017. After coloring the little cutie, I added some texture to the card by using a bit of red and green plaid ribbon to replace his scarf with a more festive one.  The same ribbon is then used to frame the front sentiment and embellish the inside sentiment.
 

Supplies: 
·   Image and front sentiment- Lawn Fawn Clear Stamp set (Winter Fox)
·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen
·   Front Sentiment- “Seasons Greetings” upcycled from old card
·   Inside Sentiment- “Tis the season...” from Beccy’s Place Digi Set (Christmas Cheers)
·   Coffee Sticker- Hobby Lobby
·   Ribbon and all other items from my stash.

    The second card features a fun coffee-drinking Batman digi image and sentiment from a Crafting Desert Diva, named "Coffee Hero" (aka Batman)!  The North Pole digi is a freebie that helps bring a whimsical feeling to my card. Isn’t it fun to imagine that even a superhero might need some caffeine on Christmas Eve in case Santa needs his help “to save the day” on his busiest, and most important, night of the year!Supplies: 

·   Batman Digi and inside sentiment- Crafting Desert Diva digi (Coffee Hero) Company no longer in business.

·   North Pole Digi- A freebie from Scribbles (North Pole)

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

·   All other items from my stash.

     The third card features a coffee-drinking Snowman digi image that is a freebie from Tiddly

Inks. (Although Christy Croll, the artist/owner of Tiddly Inks, closed her challenge blog a few

years ago, she still provides several freebies and coloring tutorials HERE, and sells a nice

assortment of digis in her Etsy shop HERE.)  The vintage recipe sheet digi that I used as a

background is also a freebie! The original is colored with beautiful shades of tan, brown, and

red. But I wanted this card to have a monochromatic color scheme so I printed it off in

greyscale and didn’t add any color. NOTE- I’ve used this background once before and you can

see the yummy colored cookies on my blog HERE.    

     I’m entering this card into several challenges including The Paper Shelter: Squared/Circles (The snowman head and body, plus cookies are all wonderful circles) and Time Out: Baking/Sweet Treats (When colored, these cookies look good enough to eat… and make me want to start holiday baking NOW!)

 

Supplies: 

·   Digi- Tiddly Inks Freebie (Something Warm)

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers, Sakura Gelly Roll white & silver gel pens

·   Cookie Background- A freebie (pre-colored) from TLC Creations Freebie (Christmas Cookie Vintage Recipe Card)

·   Front Sentiment “You’re So Sweet”” from SnapClickSupply.com digi set (Sweet As Can Bee Word Art)

·   All other items from my stash.
