Greetings! It's Tuesday which means you've got Kathi here to share a project with you. It's an "Anything Goes" week so I decided to participate in the 2026 Fall Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop with a fall and cocoa-themed MemoryDex card.
I'd be remiss if I didn't remind you that Topflight Stamps is a sponsor of the 2026 Fall Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop and is giving away a $25 gift card to the store!
Here's my MemoryDex card that was created with the Falling For Fall Clear Stamp Set 1282 by Janet Klein for AALL and Create, the Warm Hug Die Set 102 by AALL and Create, and the Côtes du Rhone 6x6 Stencil 201 by Janet Klein for AALL and Create.
Use the second largest die from the Warm Hug Die Set 102 by AALL and Create to cut white Copic-friendly cardstock. This die-cut will become the image panel.
Use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko to stamp the girl from the Falling For Fall Clear Stamp Set 1282 by Janet Klein for AALL and Create twice — once onto the image panel die-cut as shown and once onto repositionable sticker paper.
Use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink to stamp the mushroom from Falling For Fall Clear Stamp Set 1282 twice — once onto the far left of the image panel die-cut as shown and once onto repositionable sticker paper. Fussy-cut the sticker paper version and place it over its counterpart on the image panel die-cut.
Clean and dry the mushroom stamp. Stamp the mushroom again so that it's slightly overlapping the mushroom on the image panel. Clean and dry the mushroom stamp and stamp it to the right of the mushroom pair. Clean and dry the stamp yet again and stamp it to the right of the girl as shown.
Stamp the mushroom twice more onto repositionable sticker paper. Fussy-cut both sticker paper mushrooms and the girl. Place the sticker paper versions over their counterparts on the image panel die-cut as masks.
Place the image panel die-cut onto a magnetic craft mat. Position the flattest mask from the Acetate Hills Stencil/Mask Set by Lavinia Stamps horizontally across the image panel die-cut so that the top of the mask is slightly below the base of highest mushroom and covering the bottom of the image panel die-cut. Secure the mask in place with low-tack tape and/or magnets.
Place a Post-It Note so that its edge is covering the handle of the Warm Hug Mug image panel die-cut. Brush light blue dye ink over the Post-It Note and over the Acetate Hills Stencil/Mask to color the top part of the image panel die-cut.
Place the Côtes du Rhone 6x6 Stencil 201 by Janet Klein for AALL and Create over the image panel die-cut, the Acetate Hills Stencil/Mask, and the Post-It Note. Brush the same light blue dye ink over the Côtes du Rhone 6x6 Stencil onto the image panel die-cut to add a tone-on-tone leafy pattern to the image panel die-cut.
Remove the Côtes du Rhone 6x6 Stencil and the Acetate Hills Stencil/Mask and brush tan and green dye ink over the bottom part of the image panel die-cut to create the ground below the girl and the mushrooms.
Place the Post-It Note so that it's covering the coffee cup and brush the same blue dye ink over the Warm Hug Mug's handle.
Remove all masks. Color the mushrooms and the girl with Copic markers. Use a white gel pen to add highlights to her eyes and white dots to the mushrooms.
Use Pine Cone VersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko to stamp the "let it fall..." sentiment from the Falling For Fall Clear Stamp Set 1282 onto the image panel die-cut as shown. Heat set the ink.
Use the largest die from the Warm Hug Die Set 102 to cut brown cardstock. Cut the remaining brown cardstock with drip die and the chocolate pieces die. Use a dark brown Copic marker to color the debossed areas of the chocolate pieces die-cut then press the chocolate pieces die-cut onto a VersaMark or other embossing pad. Pour Clear Gloss Embossing Powder by Wow! onto the wet ink, pour the excess back into its container, then heat set the chocolate pieces. This will make it look like glossy dark chocolate.
Use the Versamarker Transparent Embossing Watermark Pen by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko to color the debossed area of the drippy die-cut.
Use the whipped cream and marshmallow dies from the Warm Hug Die Set 102 to cut white cardstock. Use Warm Grey markers to color the debossed areas of them.
Color a scrap of white cardstock with the Green Copics used for the girl's sweater. Use the straw die from the Warm Hug Die Set 102 to cut the green-colored white cardstock, then use the same green marker to edge the die-cut and color the debossed areas.
Adhere the image panel die-cut to the brown MemoryDex die-cut. Adhere the drip, the whipped cream, the marshmallow, the straw, and the chocolate pieces die-cuts as shown to finish the piece.
