12247979_10208321445464343_2054737832899182303_oHello everyone, it’s Nina-Marie here today sharing a video tutorial with you featuring the Winter Friends stamp set and many other fun Pretty Pink Posh products!

Coffee Lovers Holiday Blog Hop_4

As you may know, today is the start of the Coffee Lovers Holiday blog hop, and Pretty Pink Posh is one of the sponsors of this fun event! We also have a giveaway here on the blog as well, so make sure to read all the way to the bottom of this post to find out how you can win some goodies!

Coffee Lovers Holiday Blog Hop_1

In today’s card, we are going to be focusing on stretching your stamps; you may recognize the Christmas tree in my card to be made from the cute little mug that is from the Winter Friends stamp set! This design requires only a bit of simple masking to achieve the same look I’ve created, and to see how easy it really is, I hope you’ll watch the video below!

Watch the video above   I Watch the video on YouTube
To color the images, I used just a few shades of Copic markers, but you could use any color medium you prefer… I think this would be a fun design to color in a loose, watercolor style too, don’t you? If you are interested in the Copic colors I used however, they are:

  • YG0000, YG01, YG03, YG25 for the mugs
  • E37, E47 for the tree trunk

Coffee Lovers Holiday Blog Hop_3For the rest of the card, I used many different sequins from our shop to create some “ornaments” and I framed the entire design using the largest of our Scallop Frame dies… isn’t that gold glitter just gorgeous???

So I hope this card and video has inspired you to create some fun coffee (or other hot-mug beverage) themed cards and I’m so happy you’ve spent some time with me today… If you want to participate and link-up your creation, you have until December 18th to create and post a new coffee, tea, or cocoa related project to be eligible for one of the amazing prizes! Happy hopping!
