This card features a sweet cocoa-themed
digi from Not2Shabby. I printed the digi on a sheet of
patterned paper (Christmas tree) and also printed just the top of the digi on a
sheet of white cardstock. I colored the yummy image on white cardstock and fussy-cut it. I added shading and highlights to the Christmas Tree mug,
fussy-cut it, adhered the yummy beverage
to the top, and then set the finished mug aside. I made the background by
cutting an A2-sized piece of Christmas sentiment wrapping paper into strips,
and pairing it with scraps of green cardstock to create the patterns from the
sketch. I placed a circle of vellum beneath the mug of
cocoa to help it stand out from the busy background. A “Joy” tag and sentiment
finished off the sweet card!

I had fun making this card using a Sweet November Stamps Santa digi, a
free background digi from Di Caruba (at Di’s Digis), some tone paper (for snow
drifts), and a red rhinestone (for Rudolph's nose!) One wonderful find that works so
beautifully on my is is a scrap of vinyl wallpaper that I’ve had in my stash
for a few decades. It provided a wonderful backdrop for the snowy sky scene. I
finished the card off with a few Christmas-themed stickers… and Santa is ready
for his annual sleigh ride!

This
gatefold card features a fun image that is a new addition to my collection of
Patties Creations digis. The little giggling goat is from Pattie’s digital
image named “Silly Goats." (I printed both of the cuties, but
am using just one of them on this card. You can see the other one on a card
posted HERE. I also added a picture of the
watermarked image so you can see the complete digi below. And the exciting news is that you can add it to YOUR digi collection now for just $ 1.00!
Nab the link in my supplies list below.)
Note- I wasn’t sure how to color
the goat, so I did a bit of web research. Found a few great images, one from a company named Aurora Craftery, which provided the “inspiration” for how
to add coloring to this little cutie.
