A cup of cocoa for you

Hello everybody! How are you doing? I've had a pretty relaxing week. I took some time for myself, I spent a lot of time with my lil one, did some baking, some crafting... Due to the covid situation this year we probably won't be able to spend holidays with family, but I do want to at least send them a card to let them know I'm thinking of them. So the other day I made a list of all the people I want to send Christmas cards to and I realized I still need to make quite a few. Yikes! I will be busy making those over the next couple of weeks. Have you made all your cards yet?

So, what comes to your mind when someone mentions Christmas? My minds immediately go to Christmas lights, the smell of cinnamon, ginger and oranges and cocoa. Love me some of that. There is no better feeling than snuggle under the blanket, drink cocoa and eat some of those yummy Christmas cookies. Mmmm...

Did you know that the fall/winter coffee lovers blog hop started at the Coffee loving cardmakers blog? I love playing at their challenges. :)

This is also the perfect time for you to get some more Christmas cards ready if you still need some.

Most of the time I use rubber/clear stamps on my projects, but when I found this (digi) image I just knew I need to make a card with it.

Isn't this little gnome soooooo cute?! I love this lil fella, he makes me smile. :) You can find this cutie here.

I coloured the image when I was at my parents' place, so I used my mom's prismacolor pencils for colouring (and I just realised I forgot to add some details on the pom pom *ooops*). Usually I choose papers first and colour the image to match the papers, but this time it was the other way around; hence the non traditional Christmas colours on this card. I used several different embellishments on my card - lace, pearls, wooden snowflakes... 

Well, that's it from me today. See you again soon! :)

Stay safe! xx

For all the coffee lovers

Hey, hey! How are you doing? Enjoying the weekend? I was going through my clothes and started brining those warmer tops and trousers to the front of the wardrobe. Fall is in full swing already, which means the temperatures are not so high anymore.

Before I go to my today's card, I want to tell you that my mom has candy on her blog so hop there to check it out if you want. There are stamps, dies, papers, embellishments ... Lots of crafty goodies to be won. :)

I found out that there was a fall blog hop going on at the Coffe loving cardsmakers blog and I wanted to participate, so I quickly made this card.

Are you a coffee "addict"? I am not a big fan of coffee, but I do enjoy a cup of cocoa or hot chocolate. 

To make this card I used several scraps of paper from my stash in fall colours and some sequins to add some bling. The cups are The Greeting Farm stamp (from Perk up stamp set) and I coloured them with Promarkers and pencils. The cups also have matching dies which I used to cut them out. The sentiment is from The Greeting Farm's Hello Fall stamp set. In the background I used a Memory box stencil.

So, this is it from me for today. See you again soon. :)

Have a great day! xx
