My Cup Runneth Over: A Cup of Cheer w/The Card Concept

One thing I absolutely love💕, besides crafting, is a good vanilla latte. When I get the opportunity to combine these two things, I'm in a state of bliss. Creating a cute coffee card while sipping on a nice vanilla latte is absolutely divine. I'm not hard to please...crafting and coffee. I'll always say yes please to that combo. That's the overall inspiration for this month's FUN Cozy New Year challenge over The Card Concept, and we all hope that you'll come and join us.

When you look at the beautifully delicious inspiration photo, you don't have to necessarily make a coffee card. Nothing has to be taken literally. Perhaps it's a color that appeals to you, a texture, a pattern or an image. Any part of the inspiration photo can be a starting point for your creativity. We're just really hoping that you'll take on the challenge and join us. The challenges over at The Card Concept are always fun, and there's always lots of great inspiration as well. Some of the Design Team Members have shared some very special cards to inspire you and to help get your creativity flowing.

My card started with a light kraft cardstock that I cut using the Stitched Rectangle Dies from Creative Worship. I used this as my base layered with a matching layer cut from white cardstock for additional girth. I lightly inked the kraft cardstock and stamped the background lightly using the pretty Faith Definitions 1 Stamp Set. I was, of course, drawn to the coffee image and the warm Wintery colors and patterns. I tried to stick with this Nordic theme in creating my Freestyle Collage card. I cut two wreaths from green corrugated cardboard using the super cool Lovely Wreath Dies, and I tucked in some greens which are Jolee's foliage cuts from my super stash.

I added some red accents to the wreath, and I used the pretty Holiday Cheer Stamp Set to add the coffee cup, candy canes and sentiment. I colored the images with my Copics. This is really a very simple card, but I was very much behind schedule and not prepared for this challenge. I took great inspiration from a sweet (similar) card made by my talented friend, Esther Asbury. Her cards always inspire me. We sure hope that you're inspired to come play along in this FUN challenge and let us know what's inspiring you.

It would be fabulous to have you stop by The Card Concept to play along in our challenge this month. It's always more fun when everyone can play along, and this is a great challenge to join because you have so much inspiration to get you started. Thanks for visiting me here today, and please know that I truly appreciate you.
