I have loved seeing all of the fantastic inspiration from the Holiday Coffee Lovers Blog Hop which has been organised by the lovely Amy Tsuruta.
I am not actually a coffee lover.....but I do love a creamy hot chocolate in a big mug on a chilly day :) I decided to make a festive card along those lines:
The mug is from Paper Smooches Cyber Café with a white embossed snowflake from Clearly Besotted and a sentiment from Hero Arts. The panel was die cut from Clearly Besotted and layered over some patterned paper.
I have also made a card for the Merry Monday's Challenge to use silver, gold, white and another colour:
I silver embossed these lovely wreaths from PTI and embellished them with gold sequins and purple gems. The sentiment is from Clearly Besotted. It is a similar layout to the card above with the die cut panel. I will also link up at Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday Challenge to Bling It On!
I hope you like these cards...it has been a mad hectic week so I am amazed that I got anything made :)
Thanks for stopping by,

Well, great minds think alike...I purchased the Paper Smooches stamp set especially for the blog hop....and used the same mug and curly steam stamp!! I also don't like coffee or tea but will drink hot chocolate if I'm out with friends. I love the snowflake on your mug and that gorgeous stripey paper. Purple with silver looks so stylish, especially the silver wreaths.
