Holiday cocoa

Hey all - I'm playing along today at the new Christmas Kickstart Challenge - Festive Sweet Treats. Jo & elf Chrissie inspired me with candy canes and cups. My take is a cocoa cup with some candy canes.


Supplies: Paper - Bazzill A2 card; Lawn Fawn Peace Joy Love
Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110 lb; Paper Studio brown
Stamps with coordinating dies - Lawn Fawn Love you a Latte
Dies - My Favorite Things Blueprints 20 (retired) 
Other - Copic Markers, foam tape

For some reason I didn't have the dies to the Love you a Latte set but I ordered them and got them today - yay! Really wanted to make a coffee card for National Coffee Day - guess I'll just settle for sipping my Venti Iced Latte!! 😍

Very simple card - I die cut and stamped the cup, saucer & candy canes, then colored with Copics. Die cut a stitched rectangle in the heart paper & stamped the sentiment to be steam coming out of the cup. Added a patterned strip as a table for my cup & a brown mat layer. Adhered all to green card - done!

Thanks to Jo & Chrissie for a fun challenge and thanks to you for visiting. Have a crafty week!!

    Very Christmassy - love that you used a peppermint striped paper to reinforce the theme. Wonderful layers of cardstock.
