EDIT: I forgot to mention the whole reason I made these! 🤦🏻♀️. It's the Fall/Winter 2020 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop:
Anyone can participate in this - you can find all the info HERE <-----click! There's a bunch of sponsors and giveaways and a TON of inspiration. I just like to play along for fun as who can resist making coffee-themed cards?
Here's what I made this time:
These are 3.5 x 8.5" slimline cards.
I stamped the images from the Honey Bee Treat Yo Self set onto Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80lb card stock with Simon's Intense Black ink and coloured them with Copic markers. I used to coordinating Treat Yo Self wafer dies to die cut all the images, and since I'd stamped and coloured doubles of everything I had enough to make 2 cards.
I used Honey Bee's Mistletoe Slimline Cover Plate die for my backgrounds. I had originally die cut them from Neenah Desert Storm card stock for my previous Honey Bee cards but changed my plans and had these left over. As I didn't want them to go to waste I used them on these cards. I sponged Nuvo Mint Tea Embellishment Mousse on the die cuts to give them some texture and that green tint.
I also used the pine dies from the Lovely Layers: Pinecones wafer die set to tuck in behind all the lattes and whatnot - that was my "ode to Christmas" lol!
For the sentiments I used the Honey Bee Latte Buzzword wafer dies and Honey Bee Buzzword stamp set. I also added some subtle bling with Craft Tacky Glue and Ranger Rock Candy Distress Glitter. It looks like sugar!
I finished off the insides of the cards with more Latte Buzzword die cuts and Latte Buzzword stamped sentiments and paired the cards with Schoolhouse Red Slimline envelopes and that was it!
