Christmas Theme & Giveaway Week- Day 6
Hello crafty friends. It’s Vera Rhuhay here!
Today I’ll share a card with winter coffee themed card (which happens to go along with the brand new Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop). Here, I used Christmas Friends stamp set along with the coordinating dies.
I create a coffee shop scene using Stitched Pieces Die and coffee cup and mug from Christmas Friends stamp for wall decorations. I used scallop border dies from Stitched Borders 4 to make a table, so the sweet couples can sitting in the cafe and enjoy their coffee latte.
I added sentiment from Holiday Pals Stamp Set and finally I finished my card by added here and there with PPP sequins! Here I used Sparkling Clear Sequins and the Snowflake Sequins Mix.
Watch our video tutorial below to see how to create this card.

My favorite Christmas memory will always be the year my son surprised me with a visit while serving in the US Navy! I will never forget it!
My favorite Christmas memory is having lights that coorindate with music. When I was a child our Christmas tree was prelit and it came with coordinated music. So when the music would play the lights would come on to the beat. It was awesome. But I’m sad to say my parents got rid of the tree a while ago and I have yet to find a similar one!
OMG, this is so totally adorable and cute and fun. Love the whole perfect
& cute design.
…and my fondest memory would be every year I get to spend with my whole family at Christmas.
Time really flies by so you have to cherish every moment.
Loved the video! I hate to admit it, but I’ve never tried the markers. This would be an awesome way to do it!! The card is so sweet!
Almost forgot! My favorite memory is the Christmas my soon-to-be-husband proposed, leading to 40 beautiful years of holiday and other memories, Especially after our son was born!
Super Cute Card!! Love it
Love love love this card!!!!
Super cute ! I love how easy it is to color using these zig brush markers. Awesome !!
My favorite Christmas memory last year: to watch my 2 years old son unwrapping his presents!
My favorite Christmas memory is waking up super early with my little brother. We would get our stockings (which was allowed) and then hang out in in front of the Christmas tree shaking presents until everyone else woke up. We got to be very good at predicting!
I loved going to my Grandma’s for Christmas. Time with her my cousins was so special.
My favorite holiday memeory is making gingerbread houses with my family and Christmas crafting!
My favorite memory are the snowball ball fights with my sisters!
Super cute card! My favorite Holiday memories are of driving around on Christmas Eve with the kids and dogs. Checking out the Christmas lights and getting hit chocolate and munchies from 7-11.
I was a single parent for many years and one year was especially tough at Christmas time. A group of friends from my Bible study group showed up at our home with food, gifts, a Christmas tree and all of the decorations. We were so thankful and humbled by their generosity. We all decorated the tree together, sang, prayed and enjoyed hot cocoa.
Great prize! Thanks for the chance!
Love it!
Such a pretty, cosy card!! We always have a special movie night on Christmas Eve when we snuggle up together. Several years ago, we had just finished the movie and looked out at the night sky to see a shooting star!!!!!! – this was so magical!!
My favorite memory is making cookies with my Grammy and sneaking licks from the bowl… I am pretty sure she always knew but pretended she didn’t..
Such a cute card! One of my favorite Christmas memories is waking up to the cats sleeping in the branches of the Christmas tree – after they knocked it over! Ornaments were everywhere and my grandmother was not happy. After that she made sure it was securely fastened to the wall with twine.
I would love those makers! That card is so cute!!!
I have wanted these markers for such a long time so I can color like the pros do!!! I want to make cute colored cards too!!! Christmas 🎄
love the contrast with the black background.
My fondest Christmas memory is spending Christmas with my grandmother. Her cooking and baking, smiles and hugs brings back so many good memories. Sweet card. Just love the lil people and those adorable coffee cups.
Thanks for being a super sponsor. What a cute project. I like how the little cups are hanging. Like they could just reach up and grab a second cup of coffee. My favorite Christmas memory was the December I brought my first child home from the hospital and it was snowing. We just sat in the livingroom.in the rocking chair.
When I was little my dog had 12 puppy’s on Christmas Day… That is one of my favorite memories :)

I remembered when the first time a table top Christmas tree as my family tree when I was little. Cannot forget the joy in my family that time.
Such a sweet card. Love those cups! Thank you for being super sponsor!
Having my family together. My dad passed away a few months ago and it has been hard getting together and him not being there. It really just makes us appreciate the time we do spend together.
My favorite Christmas memory was on my daughter’s first Christmas. When she saw us turn on the lights on the tree for the first time, she was fascinated! I will never forget that look on her face.
My fondest memories of Christmas were when my boys were a little younger. The excited in their eyes was contagious!
I told my parents I
wanted a corvette
for Christmas and
they gave me one!
Only it was a
matchbook car.

My favorite Christmas’s were the ones when my kids were little. I enjoyed watching them be excited and loving every minute of it.
Hearing and seeing happy children on Christmas morning!
My fav Christmas was last year when I actually celebrated Chrsitmas with snow outside. I’m from India and never saw snow before until last year I shifted to U.S.
How ADORABLE! I love it!
Thank you soooo much for being a Super Sponsor!!!
Honestly, all my Christmas memories are wonderful. As time goes by and the kids get older, I certainly appreciate the time that we spend together.
My favorite memory is seeing my sons reaction when he opens his gifts on Christmas day! They are absolutely priceless. I know this will soon change once he gets older so I cherish these moments.
awesome prize. would love to win. thanks for the chance.
My favorite Christmas memory is the time spent with my family. Nothing can beat the happiness I feel every Christmas when my entire family gets together under one roof. Thank you for the cute card. I would love to get a set of zig clean color real brush pens!
My most favorite christmas was when the kids grandparents still lived and came to visit us with christmas. With home made decorations by the kids all around and see their happy faces when they saw their presents !!
This is officially the most cozy christmas card ever 😍😍😍 Love it.
Favourite christmas memory – Every year my mom and dad gifts my brother and I (we are now 22 and 25 and it still goes on) a board game christmas morning, so we have something to occupy ourselves with until christmas eve. In Denmark christmas is on the eve on the 24th. I love this tradition and coming over to my parents House to open the board game Always makes me so happy. Plus, a true christmas isn’t christmas unless we are all fighting over who did or did not see the answer on the question card ! LOL
I’ll miss your posts & wish you a speedy recovery.
I’ve always loved driving around to look at the lights.
Delightful card! Love those dangling cups!
My favorite memories are of spending Christmas with my grandparents at their Victorian house in Santa Barbara! We would go out to midnight mass with my parents and grandparents. It was so exciting to get to be up so late on Christmas Eve!
Now that is a stunning x-mas card! I love how you used black card stock, not many x-mas done this way. The red pops so beautifully & the Mr. & Mrs. are so adorable. I have no clue why, but it reminds me of the Christmas Story with the husband & wife with the lamp LOL My fondest memory is going to LaSallette to view the thousands of x-mas lights. It’s surely a beautiful site. Merry Christmas to All!! 🎅🎄☺☉🎨💖
Such an adorable card, loving the coffee theme! My favorite Christmas memories are from when my babies were little and the magical feeling of them in awe of the holiday. There is nothing sweeter than watching your babies delight in ever moment of the holiday magic!

My favourite memory is singing carols with the family back at my family home, and going to the midnight mass on a gorgeous crisp snowy night… the sound of snow crunching under our shoes. ..
Loved Christmas mornings when my kids were little
Totally fun card. Love all the images and great video tutorial.
Thanks for being such a Super Sponsor.
The year I got the Barbie townhouse. Also growing up my family would get a new board and we would play it all Christmas day.
Super cute!!
My favorite memory is of my dad on Christmas morning calling me up as ‘Santa’ and wishing me a Merry Christmas. Sadly, I no get that phone call, though I always have him my heart. <3
Cute card!! Love zigs!
Sleeping in the basement at my Grandparents’s house every Christmas Eve and spending Christmas Day with them and my family.
Love your card design! How cute it is!
One of my favorite things to do during Christmas is to bring my kids to take photo with Santa! They get so happy and excited!
This card is just too cute! Love the cafe idea and the coffee cup garland. I’d love to win those markers! It’s not Christmas without making pierogi!
My fondest memory is probably my mom’s least favorite. It was the year my mom found out I didn’t believe in Santa anymore. I got up from bed to get a glass of water and walked right past my mom filling our stockings. I got my water walked by her again and simply said “goodnight” as I walked on by. I had already known for a year or so, but I hadn’t told them I knew yet. The look on her face was priceless!
I love this card! I especially love that you used a black background!
I’m loving watching my three year old understand all of the “chris” around him, from the tree to snowmen, to Santa!
very nice card!

My favorite Christmas memory was decorating with my dad a pine tree that was planting in our garden!
Oh how I love the colors popping off of the black cardstock! One of my fondest memories is of my Grandma and Grandpa sitting on “Santa’s” Lap on Christmas eve, it was always so funny and I just remember there being lots of noise and people all around all of the time.
My favorite Christmas memory is watching Christmas movies
with my family while we snack on goodies & put a puzzle together!
Favorite Christmas related memories are my dad driving neighborhoods looking for Christmas lights. We lived the in country and there were not many lights on house. We we went into the city he would watch for neighborhoods with lit up houses from the freeway and would take us to see those lights
It would be great to start planning the new year…happy new year to you all.
My best Christmas is watching my children open their presents and see how their eyes would sparkle with excitement with each one they opened.
My favorite memory is receiving a porcelain doll for my grandma each year. She would hand pick one for each girl in the family. My absolute favorite is one that has glasses (it matched me)! I have an extensive collection of dolls now which competes with my craft supplies 😂

My favourite holiday memories are the years I was too ill to decorate and my husband said it would be fine if we didn’t. The rest of my family made a big fuss about us not having a tree and the house all decorated, but it felt great to know he had my back.
Such a sweet card! My most favorable holiday memory is the year my son was born on Christmas Eve, the best ever gift I could receive!
LOve the black background!
That is such a cute card
My best memory s when I got my first bike. I was 8 years old!
My favorite Christmas was just before we got married, four days after Christmas. It didn’t matter the gifts we received as we knew in a few shorts days that we would be married. It will be 33 years in 20 days!!
I love watching my girls open their presents. The chocolate advent calendar is something from my childhood that we do now. :)
Love the card!!
Giving back to the community and taking care of others. Watching people smile when you give them a homemade gift
I used to love waiting for santa when I was little. It used the be a lot more snow then. I stood in our living room window and watched him coming on our drive way driving that vehicle that we in Sweden call “spark”. I remember the excitment and the expectations.
One year when I was grown up my uncle was santa in another family with small children so he was a little late for our celebration. He wanted to have a little fun so he came dressed up as santa to our house. Even though I was in my thirties I got a bit shy! ;-)
My favorite Christmas memory is when all of my cousins came over as a surprise when I was younger.
This is an adorable card … and thanks for being a part of the giveaway! Favorite memory is preparing holiday meals with my mom and grandma.
The family would go out and drive around town looking at Christmas lights. We’d drink hot cocoa and nibble on cookies and occasionally break into song!

Wow this is a really fantastic idea and looks so wonderful.♥

My favorite memory is going to midnight mass and coming home to find that Santa came. I always wondered why papa was always the last one in the car when he typically was the first.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year.
Your stamps are so delightful and fun. This card is so cute.
My favorite Christmas memory was my first year of college when I was too poor to fly home and my college roommate’s family took me in and had a stocking and presents for me on Christmas morning. I’ll never forget their generosity and kindness.
Having a house full of family last year was the best. It wasn’t everyone but still amazing!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year.
I absolutely love this stamp set.
My favorite Christmas memory was my first year in college when I was unable to fly home and my college roommate’s family invited me to spend it with them and had a sticking and presents waiting downstairs when I woke up! So generous and kind.

Decorating the Christmas tree ❤
What a beautiful way to use these markers!! I love them because they color and can be watercolored so wonderfully. My favorite Christmas memory is playing and seeing snow for the first time with my parents, and building my first snowmen with my family. This is tied with getting to spend Christmas with my little cousins.
Every Christmas there has been beautiful new memories.. just being with our families for the day is always so much fun!!
What a cute card with the cups dangling above the pals heads.
A Christmas-memory I will never forget was/is my 1st Christmas days in the Caribbean, we moved for 3 years from the Netherlands to Curacao, due to my Dad’s job. In the Netherlands we had years with cold weather, snow and skating and now there was a tropical Sun shining and we had our 1st a fake XMas-tree with our Dutch tree decorations……fond memories that last a life time for sure.
Thank you for being a sponsor from me toooo
What a cute card!! Thank you so much for the inspiration and the opportunity to win such an AWESOME prize!!
My favorite Christmas memory was praying the Christmas Novena at my grandmother’s house on Guam and then having a small get together on Christmas Day with family and friends to celebrate the birth of Jesus.
My first Christmas when I was expecting. All the gifts for the unborn child was just the most special thing ever!
Such a cute card! My fondest memory is all the family around a big table with what we call in England a ‘High Tea’ at Christmas , Sadly my Daddy is no longer with us but they are very happy memories for us.
I absolutely loved having a bunch of family at our house last Christmas. Not everyone could come but it sure was a house full of love and laughter.
My favorite is a tradition, we go to candlelight service on Christmas eve. The last song Silent Night all by candlelight is always moving.
My most memorable was 2002.My daddy was with me for Christmas unbeknownst to us that it was his last year.It was an ABSOLUTELY PERFECT CHRISTMAS.
My daughter’s third Christmas. She was old enough to fully understand the whole cookies and milk for Santa. On Christmas eve we were getting ready to put out the cookies and milk when my daughter said Wait! I have an idea. How about we leave Santa a hot dog and a Coke? I’m sure he’d like something different. So that’s what we left for him. Really she wanted to try a hot dog and was clever enough to figure out a way we wouldn’t say no. LOL
I love your card, so warm and cozy :) My favourite holiday tradition is to invite my kids’ friends over for Christmas cookie decorating. You should see how creative they are will all those sprinkles, multi colour frostings, melted chocolate etc. It is so much fun to see them decorating, I even get inspired for my card making by their creations :)
Such a fun card! You can’t go wrong with coffee:). Every Christmas has wonderful memories and each year gets better and better!
I love seeing someone really enjoy a present I spent a lot of time thinking about getting them. For me it’s all about giving the gifts.
My favorite Christmas memory is of when we would make homemade beef jerky with my Dad.
I have so many amazing Christmas memories but my favorite head to be when my 4 kids were younger and we got to spend Christmas with my uncle who loved my kids like his own
He reminded my kids of Santa…that was their first and last Christmas with him..he passed 2 months later. The memory my children have of that Christmas is talked about every year.
Such a fun card!!! My favorite Christmas memory is when the whole family decorates the tree and puts their favorite ornaments up.
That’s a cute card with all the cups hanging there! :-)
And the two snuggling kids look like: “A cup of hot tea shared with a friend is happiness tasted and time well spent.”
There are lots of memories… I love to remember the time I was a child and I love every christmas-time with my kids. Every one is special, cause the kids grow up and every year, they act and react in a new and different way than the year before!
This year will be special again: the first christmas for my smallest kid! I’m so excited about his sparkling eyes about what’s going on here. :-)
I wish every one here merry christmas days with all the beloved friends and family-menbers around. Enjoy the time together and see & feel the magic of giving and the joy of this season.
My fondest Christmas was the Christmas we celebrated with our youngest child who happened to be one month old! Adorable images and very sweet card.
My favorite memory was the 1st year my husband & I moved out of state & we surprised my Karen’s by showing up on Christmas Eve. My mom was so thrilled, she cried.

My fondest memory is the last Christmas we spent as a family of 3 before my second daughter was born. My daughter was almost 2 and it was so fun to spend the time on Orcas Island with her watching her explore…things got really busy once her sister came along…
Gosh, one memory is hard but I’d have to say the one white Christmas I’ve ever had in 2010 in SC of all places. We all sat and played games by the window watching it snow and snow!
A new tradition my daughter and her husband started of going to the Cheesecake Factory on Christmas Eve is so much fun. Thanks.

Super adorable card.
My favourite memory was my dad taking us five kids ice skating on a frozen lake. He shoveler a nice large area for us and no matter how cold my hands and feet were, I didn’t want to stop. It was a lot of fun with my siblings and dad. Mom was home getting dinner ready.
Beautiful card!! I accidentally put my IG name in as my youtube name and can’t figure how to change it. Should be Barb MacAskill
My favorite holiday memory is the year I got a Mrs. Beasley doll. I loved her so much and she was with me all the time/ Sadly a friend stole her and I haven’t seen her since! I am stil sad over this.

oh my how adorable! Love the scene and those adorable little bundled up cuties! Thanks so much for being a sponsor! I can’t pick a favorite holiday story… I just LOVE any holiday celebration with my boys… they live across the country now so when I get to see them it’s a holiday. Our Christmas is now in January when they can both come to visit…
I’m in love with the background. The hanging cups just set the scene perfect.
My favourite memory is when my family came to visit me for Christmas (we live in different countries) and we all had a bbq Christmas lunch with my and my husband’s family. It was massive, it was fun, and it was a wonderful family gathering.
One of my favorite Christmas memories is when we had Christmas with my sister after living far away from each other for 8 years
Super cute!!! I looooove It!!!!
Such a fun card!! My favorite is decorating the tree on Christmas eve and everyone gets to hang their favorite ornaments
I love Vera’s card—the hanging coffee mugs and the coffee shope scene are adorable! My favorite holiday memories from childhood are of going to my grandmother’s house. Spending time with my family is still what makes my holidays memorable.
Christmas Eve at grandma’s house with all of the extended family……there was always yummy food and games. That is one of the things I miss the most from when I was a little kid.
I have loads of amazing Christmas memories, all from huge family gatherings around the table and every yummy dish you could imagine to being just my husband and I in Colorado on our honeymoon over Christmas. One of my funnies memories is from the first Christmas we had our gorgeous Labrador Hercules. We didn’t realize he LOVED opening presents as it was the first time he had seen any. We put all the presents under the tree and all of a sudden heard ripping and banging, he was going crazy opening them and throwing them all over the place in his frenzy! It was hilarious!
SUPER CUTE card :)
Mine was from many years ago. Grandma always made a traditional Christmas lunch, with Grandpa responsible for ensuring that the pudding she had lovingly made months earlier was kept on the boil. One job, while Grandma was busy inside the hot kitchen with delicious roasts, vegetables and much more cooking away. One year Grandpa got a little distracted and when it came to opening the calico and cutting everyone a slice, horror of horrors, it was stodgy, the water had gotten in … needless to say, Grandpa was never left in charge of the pudding again!
Thank You for the trip down memory lane and the chance to win :)
it will be the first year without my mom, so Christmas will be somber but we will still have a small intimate day after going to church.. Thank you for sponsoring the hop
Helping my mom to decorate our house and make sugar cookies for Christmas, it was the best time!
Flash back! We used to go to the mountain and cut down our Christmas tree, then back home for hot cocoa and cookies. This card put a big smile on my face.
I don’t really have a favorite holiday memory. I do have a memory of my daughter trying to make a snow Angel in the rocks in the front yard, but pretty sure it wasn’t around xmas time.Lol
My favorite Christmas memory is our first Christmas in our first house. Seeing my girls come down the steps that morning is a wonderful memory.
This card is so sweet!!! And it’s so warm too! Love it! Thanks for being a Winter Coffee Blog Hop Super Sponsor!!!
We didn’t have a lot of money when I was a kid and there were 4 kids. I remember my grandmother buying us bikes which was a great thrill. It was winter of course so we rode them in the big old house we rented from the kitchen to thru the living and dining room, around in circles. It was much simpler happier times with simple non electronic gifts.
I have fond memories of spending time baking with family and friends, and driving around to see special light displays.
Great video! Loved these stamps and cute cards! :)
My grand parents started the tradition of hiring a Santa to bring each grandchild a gift and after singing ‘jingle bells’ he told us to get to bed so he could come to our house. It was so scary and exciting to sit on his lap and kiss nose for our gift! That gentleman just retired last year after having my first grandchild on his lap! I love traditions!
Your card is adorable! My most heartfelt memory is spending Christmas eve with all of my family at my parents house. My mom has since passed and now a young niece has since passed and Christmas eve will never be the same again. I cherish the memories I have of those times now, in my heart forever!
Christmas Eve dinner with all of family in attendance is one favorite holiday memory. Vera, I love your card!
Love the way those little ones are hanging over the wall…..it reminds me of watching the Charlie Brown Christmas Special with my grandparents! Thanks for sponsoring and sharing your cute card and video!
My children are young, so the memories are still amassing. I like seeing their lists to Santa. My 7 year old painstakingly wrote 29 gift ideas, and then wrote at the bottom: ‘and that’s all I want for Christmas’.
Such a cute card! My favorite Christmas memory is also my favorite tradition. My daughter and I bake cookies together every year. We are both so busy and we really enjoy this time together. I especially like when my grandsons, son in law, and husband are drawn to the kitchen by the yummy smell! We usually end up sitting in the kitchen, telling stories, and laughing all evening!
My fondest Christmas memories are spending Christmas with my parents when my kids were little. It was always so fun watching my kids open their gifts from my parents and seeing the joy on my parents’ faces as they watched, too. It was magical! Thanks for the chance to win and happy holidays!
I have great memories of our church candlelight choir programs.
My favorite Christmas memory is the year I received my Barbie dream kitchen! It had a stove, dishwasher, refrigerator and kitchen table with chairs. I had hours and hours of fun with that very special gift.
My favorite memories are of the large family gatherings at our house on Christmas Eve. We’d have lots of laughs, food, and photo opps, since Santa always came. Lots of love and confusion, fun.
This year our Christmas will be extra special as our youngest daughter gets married a couple days before Christmad. But normally Christmas is filled with family and watching grand children open gifts.
The card is adorable.
Looking in children’s eyes when the santas claus is there. They are amazed…it’s simply magical.
I love how the colorful coffee cups are hanging from the sentiment! The black background really helps hilight the sequins and that is the cutest couple ever!! Thanks for sharing your sweet ideas with us. Merry Christmas!
Every year Baking with family and friends is my favorite Christmas memory
Oh I forgot to tell you my favorite Christmas memory. I was about 5, wearing an oversized blue snoopy t shirt when I opened up my 1st pair of go go boots! I was stylin’ and profilin’ with black boots to the knees and a snoopy shirt!! I just knew I was all grown up then. Hope your Christmas is filled with love, laughter and beautiful memories just like mine. xoxo
Love this! Holidays spent with family and friends just can’t be beat! Every year is different but special.
what a sweet little scene… adorable card!
Vera, your card is just precious!
My fav. holiday memory was the year our 9 y/o son gave his 12 y/o sister a kitten for Christmas. The kitten was a 3 month old barn cat and hadn’t been handled and was as wild as can be! Our daughter had him “tamed” by the end of the day, for her, but the rest of us…NOT SO MUCH! LOL Great memories as we had him for 21 years. Best present ever!
I like the dark background on your card.
Each year with more grandchildren brings new favorite Christmas memories.
This card is just so adorable. My favorite memory is cooking with my dad, he is passed now, so I am teaching my kiddos how to cook and bake.
What a darling card!! I love the colorful, whimsical design; just perfect for this time of year!
My favorite Christmas memories are picking out & decorating the Christmas Tree and making Christmas cookies :)
Love those cards, having family and friends spend all day making cookies for gifts, then delivering them.
Love this coffee comes from behind
Lovely card , love giving gifts for Christmas.
My favorite Christmas is too long of a story to post here, so, instead of that I will say that every Christmas is special because I find a way to make it special with whichever friends and family I see that day!
I liked it when we all wore ugly Christmas sweaters
Such a sweet card! Really love the hanging mugs and cups. My favorite Christmas memory is when my brother in law dressed as Santa one Christmas eve went to the roof and stomped around, then came in the house and woke our children and put presents under the tree. I will never forget the look on the 5 year olds eyes. Priceless
Great card
Rice Krispie treats while decorating the tree with all 6 of my kids.
Super adorable card with amazing coloring! One of my fondest Christmas memories is from about 20 years ago, seeing all three of my kids coming down the stairs on Christmas morning.
I love the contrast with the black and the colors on this card!
Great card! My favorite Christmas memory is taking my kids to see all the lights and seeing how much they enjoy it!
Sharing the Christmas season with my three grandkids. It truly is te best gift anyone could have.
My favorite holiday memory is waking up super early on Christmas day with my brothers and sisters, debating which of us five were going to wake up mom and dad.
Baking cookies with my grandmother as a young child. Then later baking them with my mom.
Our first television at 11 years old.
My favorite memories have been my family white elephant game – always so much fun!
My favorite Christmas memory is when the whole family would gather at grandma and grandpa’s house for christmas dinner. Then, after dinner, we all sat around and played board games as a family. Suh awesome memories and the best of times! Love your card! Great composition and coloring!
My favorite Christmas memory is decorating the tree as a family each year while listening to our favorite Christmas songs and eating Christmas cookies!
I grew up in New Mexico so at Christmas we drove around to see the luminarias lining the houses.
My favorite memory is the peacefulness of Christmas morning when I’m the only one awake in the house, then watching the kids open presents.
Hmmm.. that’s a hard one. I would say every memory I have of my partner and I at the holidays are my favorite because they are all wonderful. Thanks again for another lovely card to inspire us. Happy holidays to you and your family Paulina!
The black background really puts this card over the top–and I like the teeny, tiny stamped message.
My mother making candy, she knew what everyone liked so we had tins filled with a huge variety, mine was black walnut fudge
The best Christmas memories were when Santa came to town.
My most memorable Christmas was when I finished radiation treatment and was able to cherish the moment my 9 month old daughter try to open her first gift 💕
Beautiful card!!! And Love spending the holidays with family and friends and just having good times together. This would make a amazing memory too winning these sweet markers thanks for the chance
I always loved decorating the tree with my parents when I was a kid. Such a lovely Christmas memory!
We love the annual tradition of sitting by the fire (in past years it may have been sitting in the car going to in-laws) and reading “Let’s Keep Christmas” by Peter Marshall. It reminds of the true meaning of Christmas. Also having my grands read the Christmas story from the Bible. They started this when they first learned to read and are now high schoolers. I love this card!
Very cute card! I have many favorite Christmas memories. Many center around being at my grandparents, who are now gone. Everyone used to gather there-there would be 40 of us or more. Lots of visiting and fun to be had!
Magical card! great for the winter brrrr :-)
Fabulous card! Love the memories of the kids helping decorating the house!
Great card!!
My fondest Holiday memory is when I took my family to visit my mom and dad for Christmas when my twins were about 5 and my youngest daughter was 2. My mom had all the presents wrapped under the tree. My mom was in the kitchen making dinner the rest of us were up stairs watching tv, so we thought. My son snuck down stairs found one of his presents unwrapped it then wrapped it back up again. Well my mom saw the whole thing but didn’t say anything. On Christmas Eve after dinner we are all sitting in front of the tree and opening our presents when my dad hands my son the package, He opens it and says ” OH YES This IS What I have always Wanted!!” MY mom starts busting out laughing and tells us the whole story about the night before. We have never let him forget it til this day and he is now 30 years old. LOL!!
The year (in the ’50’s) my sister and I received doll bunk beds made by our grandfather. My daughter played with it as well and now my granddaughter loves playing with it. Truly a Christmas memory that keeps on giving …. Thanks Grandpa Byron!!
Super fun card. Decorating the tree was always a big deal. My dad and brother would handle the lights and my mom, sister and I would do the decorating. Both my parents are gone now and my siblings live out of state, but I still think about this happy memory.
Making “Grammy” houses at my parent’s house with my sisters and their kids!
Drinking egg nog with my family after midnight Christmas Eve service!
Great card! My favorite Christmas memory is watching my dad introduce snow to my girls. They played all day and had so much fun sledding, making snowmen, and snowball fights.
quiet time with family
My favorite holiday memory is helping my little nieces and friends make snowmen filled with rice. We cut off colorful socks to make the hat and scarf. Used brads to make the eyes and button brads for their buttons. The kids loved it and it sits on their shelf now.
I fondly remember one Christmas party in particular. A bunch of my “personal growth” friends and I got together and had such a wonderful time baking cookies and making ornaments. I wish I could do that day all over again!
Staying in our pajamas all day and spending family time together with my mom, dad sisters, brother and dogs.
I loveeeeee this cute coffee card. It reminds me of coming in from playing in the snow and then drinking hot cocoa when I was little. I would warm my cold fingers around the hot cup and feel the tingle.
My dad was impossible to buy gifts for because had few needs/wishes. Every year, Mom noted things that he said about stuff he needed for around the house – so one year he received a shiny aluminum step ladder and Mom had us, her 4 daughters, pose on the ladder in our matching Christmas bathrobes. We had a hard time making a serious card because we were hysterical about this Christmas gift.
Adorable card. Great tutorial:) Thank you for the opportunity to win such great prizes!
Watching my grandchildren open their presents, and spending time with family!
One Christmas memory was spending the last few days making my mom smile while listening to the choir sing her favorite Christmas carols.
Adorable card!!
Cute card. My favorite memory is watching my kids opening their gifts and seeing the joy on their faces.
Getting to open the doors to the living room to see what Santa brought me.
the doors were closed on Dec 1 (to allow Santa time to decorate) and
they weren’t opened until Dec 25. It was amazing – I was an only
child so I was really spoiled.
Love the card – the mugs hanging down are a fun idea.
thanks for sharing.
Our favorite holiday is Christmas all the way! ANd my favorite memories are of the ones I got to spend with my grandpa… since he passed it just really is not the same anymore.
Hugs,
Jo
The first Christmas my children were old enough to know what was going on – magical! Love this cute card! xxx
Am going to try to scraplift your fabulous card!! Love it that much!
My fondest Christmas memory is every year when all my children are able to get time off and come to town to be all together. But years gone by when they were younger, and due to my parents’ passing due to cancer, we used to spend the day going to cancer wards and singing carols for those families and their loved ones battling the disease. We brought toys for the children and cookies for the nursing staff. It’s all done through Nathaniel’s Hope here in Orlando, Florida. It was such a blessing to us and them.
My best memories seem to involved friends family and lots of food! Sitting about eating and talking – brilliant. Hope you have a great one yourself.
Cute card….l remember when I was five and got to meet Santa.
Gorgeous card. My favourite Christmas memory? That is hard as I have been on my own for so long. I love the preparations of Christmas the colours, christmas lights, carols, and catching up with friends. I believe my favourite is yet to come. I’ve always dreamed of a white Christmas, sounds corny I know, but pretty much every Christmas I have had as been hot and droopy. One day I will have one.
Gorgeous card!! A few years back the weekend Thanksgiving, White Christmas was on TV and we watched it. The next year, same thing. From then on we make sure to watch it the weekend after Thanksgiving!
Wow such a cute card and amazing prize!!! Thanks for the chance to win:)
I forgot to say that one of my favorite holiday memories is making sugar cookies with my grandmother:)
Christmas day in my childhood was just absolutely the best day. Not only because of Santa and presents, but we spent the entire day with my extended family and had a big dinner together. I loved all the happiness and chaos.
My fondest memories are going to my parents house and celebrating with my family. With both parents being deceased, I have many memories of Christmas with them to cherish.
That is precious!!
Oh my GOSH – ZIG MARKERS! I cannot even imagine… My favorite holiday memory was probably decorating this tiny little 3′ Christmas tree I purchased at Walgreens on super sale and decorating it – I was young and single and it was the first time I had a tree of my own in my place, without roommates or anything, I had so much fun putting on the colorful lights (I LOVE color!) and adding the few very inexpensive ornaments I had at the time. I thought it was one of the most beautiful things I had seen in my life. Thank you so much for the chance to win such a generous prize! I love your card – When using black on Christmas cards first became a trend I didn’t like now, now I LOVE the way it looks on cards – really makes the colors POP! Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy & HEALTHY new year! :)
Making Christmas cookies and candy with my Mom and sisters!!
My favorite Christmas memories are the ones spent with family, but especially all of the Christmases I have been blessed to be a mother. Watching the joy on my son’s face is priceless! Thanks for sponsoring the hop!
My mom CODES presents….sooooooo, every Christmas is a little more exciting :) We have to try to guess which pile of presents belongs to who and why. This years was the first year my niece understood Baby Jesus & she kept wanting to sing Happy Birthday. It was pretty precious.
Such a super darling card! I love PPP products! Thanks so much for sponsoring!
My favorite holiday memories would be from Christmases when all my girls were little. Being a single mom, money was always tight but be had lots of fun baking and giving cookies, making unique gifts for grandparents and enjoying time together.
First- this new set is so sweet! I have loved all of the cards that I have seen made with it! My favorite Christmas memory is spending the night on Christmas eve at my Grandparents house with them, my parents, aunt, uncle and cousin waiting for Santa Claus. It was so fun when I was a little kid. I loved being with my family and the excitment of Christmas eve and Christmas day.
I absolutely love that card with the black background….everything just POPS! One of my fondest Christmas memories was the train that ran around the bottom of our live Christmas tree when I was a young child.
Favorite memory: Putting up the real tree (in the ’50s) and decorating each branch with tinsel. Then receiving a beautiful doll from Santa.
Your card with the couple is just darling. Thanks for sponsoring the Hop.
Thank you so much for sponsoring the coffee lovers blog hop! What an adorable card! I think my favorite Christmas memory is actually a tradition of making and dipping chocolates with my husband. It’s not often I can get him into the kitchen so I love that he’ll help me once a year during my weekend chocolate making session. My little girl sometimes joins in on the fun as well, which is great as well.
My favorite Christmas memory is the wonder and excitement of the whole season. I loved the snowy quiet nights in Chicago and walking to Midnight mass with my parents and then opening that ONE present after and having Zappole (Italian fry bread).. WONDERfUL.
thanks for the chance & being so kind to sponsor.
Decorating the Christmas tree is my favorite memory! xx
Favorite memory for Christmas is baking cookies with my Mom and Grandma….now I do it with my kids! Making Spritz cookies with the
cookie “gun” is such fun!
This is the cutest card, I love these holiday pals the expressions on their faces are so sweet!
My favorite holiday memory would be when I was a young child and tried to stay up and see Santa. I had my headquarters on the main couch in the living room right in front of the tree. Next thing I knew, I had fallen asleep. I had awoken to find that he snuck all of the presents under the tree while I was sleeping! I’ll never forget that feeling of magic.
Beautiful card. My favourite memory was when my children were small we would watch a Christmas movie and put on our new pyjamas and then sing Christmas songs as we went to bed with our stockings x x
The black really makes this one pop. When you’re as old as I am, it is pretty near impossible to pick just one favorite memory, which makes me thankful to know that I have so many.
My favorite Christmas memory happened last year. My children and I made whole bunch of decorated sugar cookies and gave them out as gifts to friends and family. It looks 3 days for the whole process but we had so much fun. I hope to do that again this year.
Love this card, especially the coffee ornaments hanging down! My favorite holiday memory is getting up about midnight to find that Santa had already come! The funny thing is my parents were still up, and I never put two-and-two together! Boy, was I gullible! It was sooooo hard to go back to sleep when all I wanted to do was dive into all that Santa had brought!
I love this card, Vera! So clever and beautifully done!
My favorite Christmas memories were spending Christmas Eve at my uncle’s house every year growing up. I come from a large Italian family and it was always fun to get together with everyone and have tons of good Italian food.
Wow simply stunning! I usually shy away from black backgrounds but this is amazing!!! My favourite Christmas memory is being home with all the family and stuffing ourselves with delicious food :)
Great card! Please continue giving us more inspirational videos for all of us. Thank you
One of my My favorite Christmas memory was every year my girl scout troop and I having breakfast with Santa and the elves at the big department store.
This card is amazing. My favorite Christmas memory is being with my entire family… Those here on the earth and those that are in heaven.
Beautiful card.
My favorite memory was receiving a green sweater with my initials monogrammed on it. We were poor so this was a grand present. I can still remember what it looked like but oh how I wish we could have afforded to have pictures taken. I’d love to look back at some of those memories.
My favorite memory is building a crib with my sister.
My favorite christmas memory was the year all the boys got tickle me elmos ( the year they were impossible to get) – The went nuts!! I can still hear their little voices

Awesome scene that you created. Love the stitched dies, the “table” and design. My fave memory was as a kid, my grammie had a fake fireplace. When all the gifts in front had been opened, she’d pull the fireplace back from the wall and there would be one special gift for each of us. So sweet
I love your adorable festive card! Thank you for sponsoring my favorite blog hop!
