Merry Mocha Card with Tina

Hello crafty friends, it’s Tina with a very adorable Christmas card featuring the sweet Merry Mocha stamp and die set! And who better to add to a ‘Merry’ card than five cuties from Penguin Party. I always had a soft spot for these little guys, so I was thrilled to let them join the festivities!

For my base panel I die cut a piece of white Neenah paper with the largest of the Stitched Semi Circles. Sometimes I feel a bit intimidated to create a full A2 size scene. Using a smaller shape as your focal point really comes in handy to limit that space. It’s a technique I love to use on my cards. Next, I added some fun texture to this white piece by dry embossing it with the Lots of Dots embossing folder.

I created a white card base and added a beautiful red plaid paper from the All Is Bright pad cut with the outer die from the Frilly Frames Stripes die. This instantly provides a pop of color!

After stamping and die cutting all my images, I used my trusty Copics for the coloring. Going for the traditional holiday colors this time. Since you can never have enough sparkle, I added some white glitter to the brim of the hats, pompoms, and candy canes.

Before placing the penguins onto the white semi-circle, I masked off the bottom portion and inked it with some Abandoned Coral Distress Oxide ink. My sentiment is from the Merry Mocha set and I stamped it with Versafine Onyx Black ink.

To assemble the card, I glued my white panel to the card base, added all the critters and the cute mug. Finally, I mounted the sentiment to the left corner with some foam tape. A few Chrystal Clear jewels were added as embellishments. These are by far my favorite gems as they go with so many designs!

Wishing you lots of crafty fun making your own scene with this sweet Merry Mocha set! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Merry Mocha Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends! Happy Thanksgiving! Marine here, super happy to be back on the blog with this set of see-through shaker tags showcasing the adorable Merry Mocha mini stamp set. I love making tags throughout the year, but especially during the holiday season, and I thought this cup of mocha was the perfect size for tags. And what's better than gingerbread cookies to go with this delicious hot beverage?

To give my tags some kind of a vintage look, I stamped my images on a light kraft cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. As always I used the coordinating dies to cut them all, and colored everything using my alcohol markers, except for the white sections that I colored using a white colored pencil. So, along with the Merry Mocha cups, I stamped the gingerbread couple from Christmas Cookies, as well as the one from Baking Spirits Bright and the candy canes from that same set.

Next I worked on the tags. I started off by cutting six tag shapes out of a dark kraft cardstock using a die from Mini Mat & Tag 3, cut an opening inside each tag panel using another die from the same set, and then attached a piece of acetate at the back of each tag. I set three of those tags aside, and at the back of the three other tags, I attached foam strips all along the opening to create room for my shaker material. I added polymer clay candy cane slices inside that space, as well as clear glitter, and used the three tags I had put aside to close the three others.

I attached a cup of Merry Mocha, candy canes and a gingerbread cookie on each tag using 1mm foam squares, I also created three identical greetings using the "Eat Drink and Be Merry" sentiment from Merry Mocha. I white heat embossed three greetings on brown cardstock, and used the matching die to cut them. Next I cut three small tags out of the same light kraft cardstock as the images using a die from Wrap Around Box, and I stuck a greeting on each small tag using 1mm foam squares again.

To finish my tags, I tied each small tag to a bigger one using white thread, and I created three red bows that I stuck at the top of each tag using 3mm glue dots. And for once I didn't feel that it needed white highlights, maybe because I colored on kraft cardstock, who knows? 

I hope that you will be inspired by those cute and festive see-through shaker tags! Thank you so much for stopping by, happy Thanksgiving, and see you next week!

Merry Mocha Card with Gladys

Hi crafty friends, Gladys here! I'm excited to be back on the blog today with a sweet holiday card featuring the mini Merry Mocha stamp and die set.

To start, I cut an A2 panel from Bristol smooth cardstock and ink blended a different color on each corner. I used wilted violet, salty ocean, picked raspberry and peacock feathers distress oxide inks. I kept the center of the card white so I could stamp my sentiment. For interest I used a small paint brush to add specks of wilted violet, salty ocean and white paint each diluted with a bit of water.  

Next, I stamped the mocha image from the stamp set multiple times on 110lb white cardstock. I colored them with Copic markers then used the coordinating die to cut them out. I went with a colorful palette using non-traditional holiday colors but still has that festive vibe.

To assemble the card, first I stamped the sentiment on the center of the card. Then I adhered each mocha with double sided foam tape surrounding the sentiment.  Next, I added Nuvo glitter drops on the whip cream, holly berry and candy cane. I also placed a jewel on each of the snowflake centers for a finishing touch.

That is all for me today, thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day everyone!

Merry Mocha Card with Isha

Hello everyone! Isha here today sharing the Merry Mocha stamp and dies, which aren't available for purchase this year but can be received as a free gift with a $45+ purchase through Monday, November 27 (see below for full promotion details). This is such a lovely stamp and perfect for this time of the year. As you know me I love rainbow colors, so I thought why not have hot mocha in rainbow colored cups with some rainbow frosting, interesting RIGHT?

I started by cutting a subtle snow pattern from the Joyful Holiday paper pack. Next, I flicked some white  and clear sparkle paint, let it dry. Sponge kitsch flamingo and tumbled glass distress inks. Cut a stripe of black pattern from the Sleek Stripes paper pack, adhere to the base. Die-cut the snowflake using the Lacy Snowflakes dies from clear sparkle paper. Adhere to the card.

Stamp the image five times, color using copic markers and die-cut using the coordinating dies. Adhere to the card using various thickness of 3d foam. Add some nuvo crystal glaze to the snowflakes. Add chunky glitter to the frosting. Finally, stamp the sentiment and die-cut using the coordinating dies and adhere to the card.

Thank you for dropping by and have a nice day!

Merry Mocha Card with Bobbi

Hello Sunny friends, Bobbi here! I’ve poured a cup of merry for you today. You can choose which mug you would like because this card offers 8 different colorful and festive mug and sprinkle options. I’m using the new Merry Mocha stamps and dies by Sunny Studio Stamps. What makes this stamp set so very MERRY is that it is the "FREE gift with purchase" for a limited time!

My card measures 5″ X 7″ and is made from Neenah 80lb white cardstock.  To make this card, I stamped the phrase from the set in the middle of the card front in black ink. I stamped eight mugs around the sentiment. (TIP: If you use the MISTI stamping tool, you can use the ruler guides to evenly space the images.) I colored each mug in a different combination of colors, added color to the whip cream using YR30, YR31 and E53 and R27 to the peppermint sticks. I colored the holly and berries in YG67, YG17, YG03, R89 and R17.

Once all the mugs were colored, I added a Ruby Red Jewel to the middle of the snowflakes on each mug. I also added 1/8″ strips of fuchsia pink to the top and bottom of the card front panel for a border.  Lastly, I added extra, random sprinkles on the card front using all the colors of the mugs.

Thanks for stopping by today. If you want to see more ideas and inspiration from me, subscribe to my blog, BobbiHartDesign.com. I’ll send you updates on new posts! You can also find me on Instagram as @BobbiHartDesign and on Facebook as BobbiHartDesign.
