Happy Tuesday Friends!
Anyways ... here's a fun one that I started awhile back by designing the 'coffee stain' stencil background.
I looked through my tea/coffee styled dies and came up with this design using the Penny Black 'What's in Your Cup' die set #51-281.
Card #2 was also a fun card to create but this time I decided on a winter scene.
I started out with a medium blue card stock base card then created the background sky using a scalloped die and white craft ink/sponge dauber.
I've used the Kat Scrappiness 'Wonky Stitched Nesting Slimline die set to create my frame. I've used the largest die ... then to create just the frame I die cut the next size down from the larger panel.
My snowy trees is a Karen Burniston 'Outdoor Scene' die which I've cut twice and spliced together for the length I needed. My cute Poppystamp 'Curious Fawn' is just dreaming of the day he can be a part of the team pulling Santa's 'Cheery Lynn Designs' sleigh. The 'Believe' sentiment die is from Tutti Designs and the string of lights is from the Hunkydory 'Build a Snowman' die set. I've used various colors of Stickles for the lights.
I've used dimensional tape around the framing panel to give it dimension so it appears Santa was further away but now coming into the foreground.
Well, I guess that's enough fun for one day! LOL

I do like the slimline cards. The mugs are fab! However, it's the Santa card that I adore - I do like the pretty diecut image of Santa and his sleigh! Sorry to be so late commenting, but thanks so much for playing along with Christmas 24 Challenge. Deborah, DT.
