DL.ART Thankful Thursday #164 - Coffee, Tea or Any Drink

Happy Thursday!! It's time for a DL.ART Thankful Thursday Challenge!! The theme this week is Coffee, Tea or Any Drink, and the challenge is sponsored by The Cutting Cafe.

We got to use some of the fabulous files from The Cutting Cafe for the challenge. It gave me the chance to relearn how to use my poor, neglected Explore :)

I using the Coffee Cup Shaped Card 2 Cutting File for this card. The papers are from an old My Mind's Eye stack. The ribbon is Caribbean Coral from the Tropical Summer bundle.

For the gift card holder on the inside, I used some old K Andrew Coffee and Tea stamps.

I used the Tea Box Holder Cutting File for the gift box. I decorated the box with Wild Orchid Crafts flowers, a Die-Versions Lacey Dots border die, a PoppyStamps Stitched Button die and a My Craft Spot banner die. The Orange Twine is from the DL.ART Shop.

I am entering this in the following challenges:

1) Darnell's NBUS #5 - NBU Cutting Files

Happy Saturday!! Did you venture out for Black Friday sales?? I did lots of shopping...all from the warm and comfy confines of home :) What would I do without online shopping??!! It's my turn to post at My Craft Spot and I have some Christmas cards to share with you today :)

I have been having so much fun playing with my early Christmas present (Cricut Explore). I absolutely love the Noel SVG file from SVG Cut Files.com by My Craft Spot and I couldn't wait to use it. I created three Christmas cards using this file and several other MCS products. All of the papers are from The Paper Studio.

I started by cutting out the file in the base paper and then adhering a different paper behind to show through. 'Noel' was cut three more times - once in black for a shadow, once in white and once more in patterned papers. The layers were adhered with foam tape for dimension. The 'N' and 'L' were given an extra layer of foam tape for even more dimension. It was then inserted in the hole created in the base paper. Scarlet Red Crinkle Ribbon was added to this card, along with a Tiny Tags die. The sentiment is from Tiny Tags Christmas and the button was tied with Natural Jute String.

This card was created the same way, using Vanilla Bean Crinkle Ribbon and Sage Jute String.

Snow White Crinkle Ribbon was used for this card and Natural Jute String.

A sentiment from Christmas Chalkboard was stamped on the inside of each of the cards.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!! I hope you have a wonderful last weekend of November :)
