Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog is hosting the Holiday/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop that starts today, 12/11/2015, through next Friday, 12/18/2015. This is one festive and fun blog hop with LOTS of Giveaways from amazing sponsors!
This is a link up party and blog hop for coffee, tea and cocoa loving cardmakers, papercrafters and crafters/DIYers. It is when we all can share any projects we create based on the theme provided. And for this time, of course, the theme is Holiday or/and Winter. It means that we are challenges to create our project using either coffee, tea and/or images on it.
The Link Up is live here where you can link up your project(s) and also you can find the details how to enter the giveaways!
Here are some fun dates for you to create projects 🙂
December 13th -> National Cocoa Day
December 15th -> International Tea Day
If you like sharing your project on social media platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, etc., you can use this hashtag: #holidayclh
During this week, I will share my projects and there is a giveaway, too, from me 🙂 So keep reading to find out how you can enter. And now to my first project. I made a card with giftcard holder.
I used Verve Stamps free digital stamp. I printed them on CTMH Watercolor cardstock, watercolored cup using CTMH Watercolor Pencils and wet it using watercolor brush. Usually I would clear embossed the image, since these images are print out, so I was super careful when I wet the colors.
I think this card a some bling, so I added a gold snowflake with clear gems from a pack I got from Walmart.
There is a gift card holder inside the card for sharing kindness this month with someone 🙂
The papers I used is Sparkle and Shine pack from CTMH (retired). And I stamped the inside card using one of the sentiments from Bright Baubles stamp set from Neat and Tangled with Juniper Exclusive Inks Stamp Pad (CTMH).
And There is a giveaway, too! It is open until Sunday, December 20, at 11:59 pm (EST). Winner will be announced on Monday and I will email the winner, so please make sure you leave your valid email address. You can enter below:
