Happy Sunday.
It's the fabulous Joanne's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week. Oh, as soon as I saw the theme for this week I knew I had to bring out one of my favorite all time stamp sets. It was this stamp set that attracted me to The Greetery. I just love it and I love how dimensional it looks when it's photographed. Cozy Cup! Doesn't that sound perfect for fall?
Here's a sneak peek:
I just love these rich colors, perfect for the theme this week!
Fall really is one of my favorite times of the year. I love the crisp air, the cool nights and the cozy, warm, rich colors. For my card, I started by stamping and die-cutting the cup and the "coffee". I then die-cut the mat for the coffee cup and stamped and die-cut the leaf and spoon. I also stamped and die-cut some leaves from the Autumn Bliss collection. After all, if we are talking about falling leaves, how perfect to have a couple scattered on the card 🙂
Of course, I had to bring out my favorite stencil – Knit Wits – to add a little texture to the background. Here's my card:
I hope you will join us and play along with Joanne's theme. As always, the design team have some fabulous inspiration for you:
On a personal note:
Sorry my blog is so late going live today. My hosting platform – Typepad – has been down since yesterday early evening and has only just come back on line!
I didn't get to do much on World Card Making day, but did get to make one card and I will share that with you later. Today, it's a little house work and then, hopefully, I can get back into my craft room. I have some gouache paints that I want to play around with. As a medium it fascinates me, but it's going to take some practice getting used to them. I love the idea that they are like watercolor, but you can layer them and use them on dark cardstock. mmmm…. endless possibilities me thinks!
I'll be back tomorrow with another card. In the meantime, warm hugs and prayers for those of you who need a little lift today.
Hugs
Jaydee

I love this time of the year too…AND coffee! Delightful card!
Jaydee, this card is too cute! Love that coffee cup with the stitching behind it and the colors, and just it’s too cute! Have a great week!
I love fall too and your cozy card is perfect for for this challenge!
Such a gorgeous card, Jaydee! Easy to see why you’re so smitten with that stamp set, it’s stellar. Though in my house it would be tea, not coffee 🙂
I love this time of the year, too! Your coffee cup is so inviting and I love the sentiment! Coffee is always calling my name! The stencil is perfect to showcase your mat and cup. I love this card. Have a great rest of the week, My Friend!
Hi Jaydee, I’m back home again and thanks so much for your help with comments!
Just had to comment on this beauty of yours! I love your bright cup and the pretty leaves. You are posting such gorgeous cards with your Greetery supplies. I love this one! The stencil adds so much, I have to pull that one out soon.
I love the warm and cosy feel of your card Jaydee, the knit stencil, warm coffee and falling leaves are all so inviting – and the sentiment is just perfect!
I am smitten with your card, Jaydee! I have always LOVED what you’ve created with this stamp set, and this card is one of my faves. This sentiment is absolutely perfect for the changing of the season. Have a wonderful weekend!
I don’t think I could love this card more, Jaydee! I’m thinking I might be having an “add to cart” moment right after I leave this comment, too. Haha! The subtle stenciled background along with the falling leaves are the perfect touch, too. SO pretty!
