Coffee & Cards with Deb & Celeste / March 2025

Celeste and I are here with our Coffee & Cards post for March .. We decided on a Kid's card and I'll admit that I was originally at a loss for ideas. I looked through my many stamp sets but nothing inspired me or came to me.. Then I saw The Gang Christmas from Ink Road and a card idea was born !!! 

When I was a child, my favorite holiday movie was "A Charlie Brown Christmas" . I can still remember how excited I was to watch it . It came out in 1965 - I was 7 years old .. It seemed like the perfect idea for my card !!  

• I stamped the image on white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink . 
• It was die cut with a Sizzix "Tim Holtz Stitched Square" die.
• The stamped image was colored with my OLO markers  .
• A piece of Catherine Pooler "Cookies for Santa" patterned paper was adhered to a 5x7 red card base. I chose this pattern because it reminded me of the shirts that Charlie Brown wore.
• The completed stamped image was adhered to the card base with foam tabs.
• A Tim Holtz Idea-ology Christmas sticker was adhered below the stamped image.
• I stamped several of these images and will make a few holiday cards . They are easy to color and remind me so much of my childhood !! 

To see what Celeste has made for her Kid's card, check out her blog - Crafting Junky . My drink of choice today is King Cake coffee by Community Coffee . It is flavored with cinnamon and vanilla and is delicious . I'm drinking it from a holiday cup found online at Macy's at an after Christmas sale .. Reminds me of the cross-stitch I used to do regularly before card-making took over!! I also have to say that I actually made today's card at the desk in my craft room . It has been covered with craft supplies and I have begun to destash . I started with my desk so I could get in my room - my sanctuary - again .. I will now tackle the kitchen table so we can once again sit there to eat . It had become my crafty spot while my desk was inundated with supplies !! A bit of progress at a time feels good. Let's hope the momentum continues ..

Thank you for stopping by . We will be back next month with more Coffee & Cards .. Until then, Stay Creative !!
