We can’t wait to see your Coffee, Tea & Treats creativity! Joyce created a fun Christmas treats design with Thanks a Latte, Smart Cookie and Giant Merry Christmas!


Joyce created a custom stamped background, stamping the cute images on Paper Bag cardstock with Doe Ink. Then she stamped and colored the hot cocoa, marshmallows, and candy cane from Thanks a Latte and cookies from Smart Cookie to layer on top.


How cute is the striped Giant Merry Christmas greeting cut from Candy Cane Lane petite paper!

Thank you for sharing your clever design with us today, Joyce!

Samantha’s Sweet Graduation Card

- Nancy Krueger 2 Comments

The sky’s the limit is a great sentiment for a graduation! Samantha combined Plane and Simple with cute critters from Upon a Star and Hello Baby along with a little mortarboard from Smart Cookie!

To make that amazing sky, Samantha ink blended with Distress inks in Chipped Sapphire, Blueprint Sketch and Peacock Feathers then splattered with water! For a final finishing touch, she used Snowy Backdrop as a stencil to add stars to sky with white embossing paste!

Thank you so much, Samantha, for this fabulous Spectacular Skies inspiration!

The Spectacular Skies challenge will be open until Sunday June 2 at 11:59PM ET. We can’t wait to see what you create!

Franci’s Whimsical Smart Cookie Card

- Nancy Krueger 1 Comment

Hi there! Franci here with you today with a cute card inspired by the Challenge 20 “Fun with Food”!

This makes me giggle so so much! First, I die cut a Stitched Rectangle and a Simple Stitched Hillside from white cardstock. Then I added color to my panel by sponging on some distress inks and set it aside to dry. I stamped all my images from these Lawn Fawn sets: Wheelie Like You, Smart Cookie and the ladder from Cheery Christmas using Jet Black ink which is Copic-friendly. Then I colored all the images with Copic markers and I die cut them using their coordinating dies.

I assembled the scene by attaching the elements with a combination of liquid glue and foam adhesive.
I stamped the fun sentiments from the Thanks a Bushel stamp set at the bottom of the card and the one from the Smart Cookie stamp set at the top with the same black ink used before. I added some sequins and finally I drew some details with a white gel pen to make my critters and sweets even cuter!

Hope you like my card and thank you so much for stopping by!
Have a lovely day!
franci 🙂

Challenge 20 – Fun with Food continues through Sunday, January 14th at 11:59PM ET. We hope you will join the fun!
