Welcome to Becca's Quest for Love and Country Creativity!
the why: Before my brain gets back to working on my next due DT commitment(s), I'm going to squeeze in this Coffee and Christmas cookies card referred in the post title as Three Cs. I do NOT drink coffee. Can't stand the taste of it! Can only tolerate a teaspoon or so of coffee-flavored ice cream...and I love ice cream! Coffee, cocoa, lattes and tea have been very popular beverages for paper-crafting. So I'm going to 'give' in!
the when: Tuesday April 8, 2025
the what: Three Cs= Coffee & Cookies & Christmas card
the how-to notes:
1. coffee cup image was made by taking a clip-art image printed to a 4" x 6" size...closer to 4" high x 5" wide...and pencil traced/imprinted the basic outline; I added the highlight lines myself then colored/inked for a Christmas brew; adding faux little cinnamon red hot candies to float on the coffee's surface!
2. cookies print paper = Fancy Pants Designs
3. base is brown cardstock that started as 6" square and trimmed to 5.5" square = Art Skills
4. the mixed Christmas images paper = Bo Bunny's Christmas Treasures paper pad
5. the cookies print paper = Cookies for Kringle by Fancy Pants Designs
6. two sentiment stickers = Sweet Rush sticker book by Vicki Boutin/American Crafts
7. copper chevron decorative tape = DIY Crafts (three design set)/American Crafts
8. enamel dots = Freckled Fawn
9. a mix of markers and colored pencils for the coffee cup = stash
