Welcome to our Create with Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges. This week’s inspiration challenge is a warm mug of hot cocoa!
MORE THAN AUTUMN
I’ve been wanting to use the More Than Autumn Bundle with the A Little Latte Designer Paper, so here was my chance! I’ve combined it with the Changing Leaves stamp set, too, so I had some leaves to use.
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Calypso Coral cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and 6-3/4 and folded in half. The smaller panel was then adhered to itself to form the “book binding”.
- A 1 x 4 piece of the plaid A Latte Love DSP was added to the spine and a 4 x 4 of brown swirls was added to the larger panel.
- The Changing Leaves maple leaf was stamped with Pecan Pie Ink on Calypso Coral cardstock and another on Lemon Lolly cardstock. They were colored with Dark Pumpkin Pie, Light Poppy Parade and Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends in a random pattern, so they looked mosaic. The leaves were cut with the Changing Leaves Dies and added to the bottom of the wider panel.
- The mug was hand-cut from the A Little Latte DSP and added on top of the leaves.
- Two branches were cut from Early Espresso cardstock and tucked around the mug and leaves.
- The marshmallows from More Than Autumn were stamped with Pecan Pie Ink and cut with the More Than Autumn Die. The marshmallows were lightly colored with Light Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends. They were added to the top of the mug.
- Nothing’s Better Than was stamped with Pecan Pie Ink on Petal Pink cardstock and cut with the larger label in the Changing Leaves Dies. It was added to the top with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Autumn & Hot Cocoa were also stamped with Pecan Pie Ink on Petal Pink cardstock and hand-cut, then added to the front around the mug with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- A trio of Copper and Brown Neutrals Adhesive Backed Sequins were added to the background.
I was really surprised with how “fallish” this A Little Latte DSP turned out to be! OK, check out Debbie’s Inspiration Monday card over on Create with Stamping Friends!
