Coffee & Cards with Deb & Celeste / December 2024

Celeste and I are back for our December edition of Coffee & Cards. We decided that we would each choose our favorite card that the other had made in 2024. With all the hustle and bustle of the holidays, it was nice to just sit back with a nice cup of coffee and look at all of our creativity throughout the year. I had so much fun scrolling through all of Celeste's wonderful projects ! But there was one that I had loved as soon as I saw it and that is My Favorite .

Celeste posted this card on September 30,2024. I love everything about this card !! The stenciled background, the stamp set she used, her coloring - EVERYTHING !! I especially loved the vintage feel of this card. The stamp set is Tattered Christmas by Whimsy Stamps. You can check out the original post HERE .

For my coffee today, I'm drinking Pecan Praline from a new cup I just had to have !! It reminded me so much of our sweet kitty Pixie !! Target had some of the best holiday cups this year - I had to stop myself from buying each and every one of them !!

Be sure to go to Celeste's page - Crafting Junky - to see which card of mine she close as her favorite of 2024. We look forward to 2025 and continuing to have our virtual Coffee & Cards meet-up each month. Have a wonderful holiday season, stay warm and always drink good coffee !!

Coffee & Cards with Deb and Celeste / June 2024

For our June collaboration, Celeste and I are creating masculine cards with the inspiration of this fabulous Mood Board. As an added bonus, it just so happens to be Father's Day, which made it even more perfect !! We also have a Guest today - Michael Trent is joining us ..  I'm always excited to see what he creates.

I went with the various shades of brown from the Mood Board for my card . My guy Brian and our sweet cat Pixie love to look out of the big bay window in our kitchen and watch the birds at the feeders . They inspired me to make this card - Brian is definitely the best Cat Dad and this card will be his for Father's Day .. I used the Birdhouse Neighborhood stamp  from Art Impressions. I absolutely love their Windows To The World collection.

Hope your days are happy and life is good

And all is well in your neighborhood.

• I stamped Birdhouse Neighborhood on a piece of white Mixed- Media paper.
• The stamped image was die cut with a Stitched Square die.
• I colored the image with my COPICS.
• I adhered a piece of scrap paper with shades of brown and blue to an A2 card base.
• The completed stamped panel was adhered to the card base with foam tabs.

Thanks so much for stopping by to check out our June theme..
