Warm Cocoa

Happy Saturday, peeps! I've got another Christmas card for you and it just happens to fulfill the Jingle Belles' Christmas Feast challenge!  I recently got this fun Christmas Cookies embossing folder and just had to pair it up with a mug of hot cocoa!  Here we go:


I embossed a piece of Crumb Cake with the folder, then sponged on some white craft ink to look like icing!  The little mug from the retired Scentsational Season was perfect stamped in Real Red, and I added some "steam", heat embossed on vellum (CTMH):


The sentiment is from TPC called Sweet Christmas, and I don't remember where the inside sentiment came from, sorry!


Thanks for popping in today! It's chili cook-off tonight, so I will be in the kitchen for the rest of the day!  Enjoy it and be blessed!

Wow, do I ever love that frosted embossing, LeAnne! Just the cookies I'd want with my cocoa - or morning coffee!

What a great embossing folder all frosted up! I love how you did the steam on vellum! This warm cup of cocoa would be welcome this chilly morning.

I love how you stamped the steam on vellum, that looks so cute! That Scentsational Season stamp set and dies have been a favorite of mine since they came out : ) Your mug looks great with the embossed background!

The sponging on that great embossed background looks like the cookies are made of vellum! What a great look to go along with that steamy hot cup of goodness! Beautiful card.

Very cute! What a great folder - and I like the way you've heightened the patterning. It's that little vellum steam that the real heart of the card though. :-)

That background is awesome and such a great idea to highlight it with the white. They look delicious.

Oh what a beautiful cup of holiday cheer right there... and as always I see three or four "Next Level" details that make me want to save and remember your fabulous attention to each element! So pleased you could join our Christmas Feasting (in card form!) at Jingle Belles!
