Four donuts were stamped with Memento Black Ink on Basic White cardstock and colored with Summer Splash, Lemon Lolly, Petunia Pop, Highland Heather and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends. They were cut with the More Than Autumn Dies and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
A 3/8 x 2 strip of Lemon Lolly was stamped with the greeting in Memento Black Ink and the ends cut at an angle. It was layered on a 1/2 x 2-1/2 strip of Petunia Pop cardstock, then added to the front of the base card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

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!

The small heart was cut from Cherry Cobbler cardstock with the More Than Autumn Die and added to the cup.
The snowman face was cut with the smallest circle from Basic White cardstock with the Everyday Details Die. The eyes are 1/8″ circle from Basic Black and highlighted with a White Gel Pen. The nose is a leftover piece from the word “pumpkin” from the More Than Autumn Dies (from the p). The mouth was drawn with the Basic Black Marker. It was added to the cup on the card front.
The whipped cream was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Bubble Bath cardstock and the sprinkles with Cherry Cobbler Ink. It was cut with the More Than Autumn Die and added to the top of the snowman face, along with the candy cane.

MORE THAN AUTUMN

This is such a FUN set in the upcoming Mini Catalog with LOTS of options for the holidays! Some of our favorite desserts for the holidays are Pumpkin Pie, Lemon Pie and Chocolate Pie! Two of the colors today reminded me of PIE!

Stampin’ Details:

The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Thick Basic White cardstock scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
I added a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Mediterranean Blooms Designer Paper.
Next are two 3/4 x 5-1/4 strips of Lemon Lolly and Pumpkin Pie cardstocks added down the center.
I embossed the 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 square of Basic White cardstock with the So Swirly Embossing Folder and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I stamped the pie slice and the top of the whipped cream four times with Memento Black Ink on Basic White cardstock, then cut the pie slice with the die and hand-cut just the top of the whipped cream for each slice. They were colored with Lemon Lolly and Pumpkin Pie with the Crust in Dark Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends. They were added to the square with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The greeting was stamped on Pumpkin Pie and Lemon Lolly cardstock with Memento Black Ink, then trimmed and added to the middle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I added a trio of yellow Shiny Adhesive Backed Sequins to the background for a little bling.
