Feel free to design a coffee card or perhaps your favorite hot holiday beverage♡
Blog Candy: I thought it would be fun to offer up some blog candy. Whether you want to put together a traditional blog candy or what about your favorite hot holiday beverage recipe? This is definitely NOT a requirement but something to add some additional fun to the hop.

I LOVE coffee and so I couldn't resist entering this super fun challenge.  I have a TON of coffee themed stamps and dies and actually discovered some new ones that I didn't have.  I created a 5 X 7 card using a white card base and some red patterned papers from my stash.  I chose the Lawn Fawn Love You a Latte stamp set to stamp out some cups and die cut with the matching dies.  I then colored the to go coffee cup with my R24 Copic marker and the coffee inside the other two cups with my E33 and E35 Copic markers.  I then cut a frame out using the My Creative Time stitched rectangle dies.  I put a piece of cardstock inside the frame and stamped out the sentiment from the My Favorite Things Perk Up stamp set.  I then pop dotted the coffee cup and mugs up at the bottom.  I also added a wood veneer doughnut from the Prima Coffee Break collection.  Thanks for looking and please go over to Amy's blog to enter this fun challenge.
