Holly Jolly Coffee

For my Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge Guest Designer cards, please see here and here.

Hello, everyone!  Today I'm sharing a fun holiday card for a coffee lover who also loves cats!  The sweater kitty (Christmas Kitties) and coffee go-cup (First Day Jitters, retired) are both from Beccy's Place.  I coloured the kitty with markers and fussy-cut so I could pop him up on foam tape.  I also adhered three tiny punched hearts to his sweater.  

For the coffee go-cup, I paper-pieced it with holly-patterned paper and green cardstock and then fussy-cut.  I embossed the coffee sleeve with Simon Says Stamp Holiday Greenery and sponged some Pine Needles Distress Ink over the rasied parts.  The go-cup was then adhered to green snowflake-embossed cardstock (Die'sire Embossalicious Let it Snow).  I stamped a Holly Jolly sentiment (SugarPea Designs) on the lid and adhered a holly leaf embellishment and three red sequins.  I also decided to add a second greeting (Beccy's Place Bear Hugs) on a red scrap because I think this kitty looks like he needs a hug!  

I was inspired by the following 8 challenges:

Beccy's Place Month of Holiday Cards (E for Embossing)

    Isn't this kitty adorable? I love how you added the little hearts to his sweater. That To-Go cup is great, it must have been available before I started this crazy card making journey. Terrific colors and layout.

    This is fabulous Kitty! The go-cup looks fantastic with the patterned paper, it was such a great idea to paper piece the image. I love the addition of the sequined holly too, that adds a lovely little sparkle. You did a wonderful job colouring the kitty, I especially like his sweater with the addition of the little hearts.
    Cheers,
    Beccy

    Kitty looks as snug as a bug in her sweater and even warming her back with the warm beverage behind her. So cute, and thanks for again sharing with us at Double Trouble.

    Loving your cat - he is not amused by wearing the sweater! My cat would probably have the same reaction. Such a fun and pretty card. I love the heart design on the sweater, too. Thank you for playing along with us at Double Trouble #125A.
