This is my 1st project using the new Coffee Brawd! She's awesome, fun to paper piece and comes with lots of sentiments! I started with 2 cans of flavored coffee like the one pictured above. I covered the cans with designer paper, and printed out the names on the computer to cover the tops. The two I used were Gingerbread and Eggnog, which then led me on a Christmas/winter type theme! I know it's finally sunny and beautiful here and I'm making something with snowflakes!!!!

Then I measured the cans & made a bottom & top out of bashful blue cardstock. I stamped 'java' with versamark on these.

Then I made the sides using acetate cardstock.

I stamped Coffee Brawd onto white, and coloured her with copics. I also stamped her on DP and cut out the robe and slippers. I stamped her head again, coloured & cut it out and popped it up a bit.

I also stamped a second set of hands with mug and popped them up on top. I cut little slits in the sleeves to tuck them in and make it more realistic looking. I tried to get a close up photo of this but I wasn't having much luck!

I masked off the image and stamped 'java' in the background.

The sentiment 'junkie' was stamped with old olive and punched with a circle then matted. Trying to stick with the wintery scene, I added a small snowflake & brad.

Then a wrapped some satin ribbon around the whole thing and tied a bow on top!

So if you leave a comment here, and each of the Design Team members blogs, you will have that many chances to win!

I know they all have some incredible creations to show you using the new Coffee Brawd set.
