A Cocoa Kind of Christmas

It's Cocoa again. I just can't get enough of this little guy. Korin never seizes to amaze me with all the wonderful Cocoa stamps. I want them all! hehehe. This is "A Cocoa Kind of Christmas."

I did some paper piecing on the ornament.

DP is Echo Park Merry Christmas and Wintertime. You can purchase both of these from Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps. I colored Cocoa with copics Thanks for stopping by today.

Tasty Treats!

Have you ever coloured on "auto-pilot"?  I did...just days ago, in fact.  A few of us girls got together for a night of chatting and colouring and I pulled out this cute Chef Cocoa image and got to work.  I chatted more than I coloured...and when I started to assemble this week's Guest DT Sample, I realized that I coloured this like it was a muffin...when in fact, it is a chef's hat... LOL!  Can you tell?  I think it works both ways, so I used it.  Would you know if I didn't tell you?  LOL!

I used the Kitchen Sentiments with this one as well.  My layout is courtesy of this week's Sketch #87 at The Sweet Stop...but no stitching, though I couldn't resist using the sketch!  It's hard to tell, but this is actually the front of a Chinese food takeout container.  I'll be filling it with goodies tonight and taking it a friend's house for a little Christmas gift.

Cocoa's Mittens

Hi there and thanks for stopping by.
Today is a sad day for me as this will be my last post as a Sweet 'n Sassy diva. I have been with SNS almost from the beginning and I will miss it terribly but I won't be a stranger because Korin as asked me to be a Cocoa Crazies', what is that you ask? Well if you have not heard the news SNS has a new challenge blog for Cocoa lovers only Crazy4Cocoa and I am definitely crazy for cocoa.

Customer spotlight Sunday

Today our customer spotlight features Margo Smith and this adorable Christmas card that she made using one of our new December release digis- Cocoa Loves Soccer. I love how Margo creativity made the soccer ball into an ornament! I love all the sparkle she used on the soccer ball. I bought one of my daughters a soccer ball Christmas ornament this year too so this immediately reminded me of that.

Well, here we are in the homestretch- the last week before Christmas. Are you ready yet??

Have a blessed day everyone!

A message from Spot

Awwww, check out this little guy named Spot?...is he cute or what?! Love him! He's a brand new digi that was just released this month. I combined him with a sentiment from my Woof You stamp set. The card measures 4" square and I sparkled up the collar with some waterfall Stickles.

Have an awesome day!

You're #1!

I'm going to switch it up a little today and take a step away from the Christmas/winter cards. (Even though I'm not even done with my Christmas cards! lol) But I was in need of a birthday card for a young boy so I printed off "Cocoa loves soccer". I kept the card simple and went with the boy's school colors (black/white).

Card measures 4 1/4 x 4 1/4. Background is cuttlebug'd with the swiss dot folder. Colored Cocoa with Prismacolor pencils and blended with odorless minerals. Cocoa is cut out of the circle and cut out with a circle Spellbinder and then layered onto a scalloped circle Spellbinder. Entire layer is on dimensions. Did a faux layer, by using a black marker, around the digital Sports Sentiments. On the inside I wrote "Happy Birthday, All Star!" Added a ribbon tied in a knot at the top to finish off my card.

I love simple and quick cards and am really pleased at how this turned out. And with that I will leave you with this....... only 7 more days until Christmas! (eeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkk)

A Merry Little Christmas

I have a cute Christmas card to show you today which could pretty easily be reproduced. This would also make a nice generic winter card as well if you change the sentiment. I used the emboss resist technique for the background behind my snowman. The "snow" is torn paper strips edges with snow glitter and stickles. The snowman from the Welcome Jesus set was colored with copics, cut out and adhered with foam tape between the snow layers. This image is also available in digi form called Smiley Snowman which would be great to use if you still have more Christmas cards to finish.



I just love this cute little snowman- don't you?

Have a fabulous day!!
