Coffee & Cards with Deb & Celeste - November 2022

Celeste reminded me the other day that we started this blog collaboration in October of 2016 !! So we could actually be celebrating our 6th anniversary now !!  We both had been making cards for one of the Coffee Lovers Blog Hops and didn't want to stop, so we decided to make cards every Sunday for the month of October.. But we still didn't want to quit, so we decided to continue it monthly. And here we are - 6 years later .. A blog collaboration AND a valued friendship .. Celeste chose a beautiful picture for our Inspiration Pic this month  -- we hope you like what we have created.

I have had the Autumn Vibes stamp set from Close To My Heart for awhile and have been wanting to ink it up for just the right card .  I thought of it as soon as I saw the Inspiration Pic.. 

• I stamped the coffee cup and hay bale on a piece of scrap ledger paper & also stamped the hay bale on a piece of yellow patterned paper. The ink was Jet Black Archival .
• I placed a strip of Autumn washi across the top of the stamped panel.
• The Leggings saying was stamped with Orange Zest StazOn Ink and the Hay Ride with Memento Rhubarb Stalk Ink .
• I fussy-cut the hay from the yellow paper and adhered it to the stamped panel. 
• The cup was colored with COPICS and a puffy sticker from Paper House Productions was adhered to the sleeve.
• I matted the stamped panel on a piece of woodgrain patterned paper .
• I adhered a piece of leaf patterned paper from the Autumn paper pad by Newton's Nook to a Kraft card base.
• The completed stamped, matted panel was popped up on the card base with foam tabs.
• The dried fruit in the picture was made by my guy, Brian. He used our food dehydrator and made dried apples, lemons, limes, pomegranates, apples and oranges. They are in a bowl on our table . 

I'm certain that Celeste has made a fabulous card this month as always. You can find all of her creations at Crafting Junky . Take a look at her November creation for some inspiration of your own. My coffee this month is Pumpkin Pecan Praline from  Bones Coffee Company . And I'm using a cute paper to-go cup  that says - "My favorite season is Pumpkin Spice"..

Thank you for visiting Meticulosity  again as we head into the holiday season. I hope that you all found some Black Friday deals and were able to get in some crafty time with a good cup of coffee !! Please take care and we will see you in December ..
