Coffee + Holiday Cheer! Card by Donna Idlet

Coffee + Holiday Cheer!

Today we are sharing a Christmas card that is perfect for sending to a coffee lover! This card features our Newton Loves Coffee Stamp Set, A2 Card Layout Die Set and Christmas Paper Pads. 

To start out, Donna created a beautiful holiday background using our A2 Card Layout Die Set. She chose several pretty patterns from our Christmas Time Paper Pad our and Meowy Christmas Paper Pad that she thought looked nice together. She used the die set multiple times with the papers so that she had all of the pieces in the different patterns. Then she assembled the pieces onto a red card base. 

Next she stamped the image of the kitty hugging a coffee from our Newton Loves Coffee Stamp Set. She colored the mug in red and green to match the background patterns and give it a holiday feel. She also added to the holiday theme by adding a Santa hat using our Christmas Puppies Stamp Set. The images were cut out using the coordinating Newton Loves Coffee Die Set and Christmas Puppies Die Set. 

She chose a sentiment from our Ornamental Wishes Stamp Set for the holiday cheer message, stamping it onto an oval that was cut out using our Oval Frames Die Set.

This coffee themed holiday card is also perfect for the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge! Newton's Nook Designs is featured on their challenge for the month of August and we hope you will join in the fun!
