Cocoa for Merry Monday

It's time for another Merry Monday; do you think this can pass as a Christmas card? :

I've once again turned to one of my favorite stamp sets, More than Autumn, this time creating a holiday card. Who doesn't love peppermint hot chocolate this time of year?

I love this little cup; it can be decorated so many ways! Here I've added a cup holder of snipped designer series paper, Take a Bow. With the marshmallows, candy canes and little gingerbread man, this drink is all set to make us warm on a cold winter day!

And note those adorable peppermint embellishments--the Red & White Peppermints are the cutest embellishments we've ever offered! They are currently out of stock, but due to be back this week, so watch for them and grab them as soon as you can!

More than Autumn - good for more than autumn cards!

Three-Panel Arch Card

I saw a template for a different kind of card on Patty Bennett's blog - the Three-Panel Arch Card. She got it from a demo named Jennie Fetz; I watched Jennie's video and knew I could recreate the card...and I did:

Isn't that cute?

Let me show you some step-by-step photos so you can make one too.

Begin by using the Garden Meadows dies; cut 6 arched panels, two of Designer Series Paper (patterned paper) and 4 of your base color (in my case, I used Basic White).

You will also need two small panels of computer paper, measuring about 3" x 1-1/2".

Now you will join the three base panels together:

Begin by lining them up with the bottoms even and the sides butted up next to each other. I turned my panels upside down so the "stitching" on the wrong side would be covered when I add my next layer. This way the back of the card has nice "stitching".

I used some washi tape to hold my panels together while I adhered the computer paper:

Now it's time to add the top layers to create the card:

Then the card folds like an accordion - left side on top and right side on bottom:

This card fits well in a Note Cards and Envelopes envelope. They are sized for 3-3/4"x 5" cards, so work well for this card.

This one is going to a special friend - she and I like to trade "love notes" and I just got one from her so I need to reciprocate! Do you have a good friend like that? You might try making one of these cute cards to remind them how much they are loved. 😊

Rustic Market

Sometimes different stamp sets just seem to go together.

While creating some thank you cards for customers who have recently placed orders, I began to play with Market Goodness and all the vegetables. But when I started to put them on my card, it suddenly dawned on me that a Rustic Crate would be SO cute! Look:

Does that make you hungry?

I started by stamping all the veggies - lettuce, carrots, tomatoes, an onion and a radish. Then I cut them out. I had planned to use the market bag die that comes with Market Goodness, but then thought of the crate...and I'm so glad I did.

Once the crate was completed I mounted it on a die cut from the Nested Essentials dies, stamping a greeting right on it.

I needed several, and was happy that they went together quickly!

Market Goodness and Rustic Crate - made for each other!
