Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge #cccc49

Here's a card I made for the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge, this is once a month from the 1st thru 25th so I just made the deadline. The theme has to be Holiday/Christmas and use coffee, tea or cocoa items.

I used and old die and stamp set from My Creative Time and a poinsettia die from Spellbinders.

Inspired By Mittens #IB372

I stumbled on this blog Inspired By that has weekly challenges and I think this is going to be a great way for me to get back into crafting again. I'm definitely a person that needs something to inspire me so this will be a big help. 

    

The inspirational theme this week is Mittens #IB372 along with this sketch. I just fell in love with the little mittens, I thought they are so adorable.

I was inspired by the theme, colors and sketch. The mitten is from Unity, I stamped it on Gingham paper from Doodlebug and fussy cut it out. I roughed up the edges to make it look a little like fabric. The snowflake stamp is also from Unity, the envelope die is from My Creative Time and Love You stamp from Simon Says Stamps. These are all older products, I have so many stamps and dies I'm really going to try and work with what I have, there are many I have never used. The heart shaped birds is from the Silhouette Design Store, I print and cut and colored it in with alcohol markers.

Valentine's Day Gift Bag - Dreaming Tree

This is the adorable Festive Holiday Tote from Dreaming Tree, I didn't get a chance to make it for Christmas so I thought Valentine's Day was just as good. I love the design of this bag, it's so perfect and can be used for any occasion.

Valentine's Globe Shaker Card - Dreaming Tree

Since I die-cut all these little hearts for yesterday's project I figured I'd make another shaker using Dreaming Tree's Snow Globe Shaker Card. This card is also available in a bundle called Winter Warm Wishes which has two other projects. All I did here was change up the colors and added a stamped sentiment for Valentine's Day.
