We Go Together Like Cocoa & Marshmallows

| marialrussell

We go together like cocoa and marshmallows! Need I say more? I am back to share with you two projects that I have finished today for my entry to the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop (link here: http://coffeelovingcardmakers.com/2016/12/2017-winter-coffee-lovers-blog-hop/). I used this adorable free digital stamp that JessicaLynnOriginal had provided for those who would like to participate in this hop.

Here is a cute Christmas tag that I have made to go with my hot cocoa mix stocking stuffer:

Here’s the card below.  Isn’t he adorable?  In case you were wondering, I used the new KatScrappiness Jingle All the Way script die.

I hope you all got inspired today to join this fun hop. Thank you again, Amy Tsuruta and her team for putting together this amazing hop! You guys are amazing!

You’re My Honey

One of the reasons why I love jet lag is the fact that when I am wide-awake at 3:00 a.m., I can make some really strong coffee, go to my craft room and work on my cards in peace. Everything is just so peaceful at dawn. It really helps my creativity. The only downside is I am already fading by 4:00 p.m.

The card below turned out to be so stinkin’ cute! To be honest, I didn’t picture this card to look like it does now because I changed my mind quite a few times while I was creating it.  I wanted to fuzzy-cut the image but I was worried about the Antennae.  I decided in the end to cut it out and replaced it with a die-cut piece using a butterfly die. I almost gave up at one point, but decided to keep going until I was happy with the results.
