Warm Wishes Starlit Coffee

I feel like that would be a great name for a coffee shop. Wouldn't it be so fun? Decorated for Christmas all year, little lit up stars on the ceiling, I love this mental image I'm dreaming up.

Anyways, This was sort of a different card for me. Stamping a patterned cup onto patterned paper was a new one. I'm not entirely sure I love how it looks, to be honest. I went over one of the cups with a gold marker to give it a little different look. Like I said, I'm conflicted.

Thanks so much for looking and happy caffeinated Christmas in July crafting! Laters!!

CHRISTMAS IN JULY New Challenge with Simply Create Too!

Happy Friday! It's time for a new challenge at Simply Create Too and our theme this month is Christmas in July!!!

I have been dying to play around with these dies from The Greetery and I finally got to do it. I love how they look so very vintage. I don't have any of the coordinating greenery dies to use with it, so I used patterned paper instead.

Just a few challenges:

SUMMER SOIREE IG HOP Week Three - Fireworks!

(everybody sing the [slightly annoying] Katy Perry song with me: Baby you're a fiiiiiiiiiiiiirework! Come on let your collllllllllllors burst!)

Don't mind me, just rocking out over here 😎

Anyways, welcome to our Summer Soiree Cardmaking Hop, hosted by @createwithkas. For Week 3, we are enjoying celebrating all things patriotic! Fireworks, BBQs, 4th of July, your country's colors or Red, White and Blue. This theme was suggested by Kelly and if it inspires you, please use the hashtag #summersoireecardmakinghop2024. To join us, message @createwithkas

I am, as you probably know, a HUGE Disney fan. To me, Disney and fireworks are synonymous. I got this die on Etsy a few years ago, and I absolutely love how the patterned paper poops behind the white glittered die cut. The yellow-gold windows in the castle remind me of how Walt's office is always lit up at the theme parks.
