STAMPlorations Inspiration #344

Today I am sharing a card inspired by the Holiday Card Workshop 2021 sponsored by Jennifer McGuire and Kristina Werner over at the Online Classes.  Yep, I actually paid to take this class. That's huge for me  since I usually can figure out how to create whatever a class is "offering".  I splurged, and boy am I glad I did.  I had so much fun creating about 24 cards!  It sure helped to almost fill my needed Christmas cards.

Anyway, back to my cards for today.  (You get a treat as I have 2 for today!)

I used the fun Christmas Icons- Nativity.  I can't really tell you what I did to create this [it's a paid class], but if you look, it's pretty easy to figure out how I made this. 😍

The sentiment is from Three Kings stamp set.

 

For my second card, I made some Northern Lights.  I love this effect.  I sure would love to see these in real life!

 

I used the MC from the Christmas Sentiments Phrase Dies.

I went to add something to the very bottom [I felt it needed something] and I DROPPED the stamp on the card.  Fortunately, I had photographed it before I ruined it! OMG - I so dislike when I do that!
 

That's it for today - you can pop on over to the STAMPlorations Blog and see what my teamies have created.  Don't forget to leave a comment for the monthly random drawing~

2021 Fall Winter Coffee Lovers Hop - Last Day

I can't believe how fast the time went for this 8 day hop!  So much inspiration to be seen.  It was another successful hop for me too!  I got lots of fun cards made, and thoroughly enjoyed myself.

For my last card, I used a technique from the Holiday Card Workshop. While JM made like 20 (!) cards, I made 1. [Apparently, I don't have the patience. LOL.] I have done this before, but this time, I actually used a strip die I had, rather then trying to manually cut strips. [Yeah, duh - I forgot I had that die. No surprise there!] 

I used CAS-ual Fridays To Go Cup Dies for the shape [and also the coffee die from the same set]. I used some fun paper strips for the coloring. 

My side sentiment is also from a retired CAS-ual Fridays stamp set.
 

That's it for me for this last 2021 Coffee Lovers Hop.  I am popping over to check out the final entries, and to see just how many people played in the challenge.  So.much.fun. 😀
