Christmas Cocoa In July ~ HSS443, JAI711, TGIFC482

Hey there stampers!  Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments sketch challenge #443.  I used the Inspiration Photo Challenge from Just Add Ink #711, and the Christmas theme challenge from TGIF #482.

Everything I've used on this card is retired with the exception of the Country Wood DSP.  

I don't own the die cuts from the current coffee set, Latte Love, but I do own the stamps.  I really just wanted a plain die cut coffee cup to go with the plain Christmas trees on the vellum, so I chose pulled out an old die set called Cups & Kettles Framelits dies.  The snowflake came from Celebration Tags dies.  The Merry Christmas sentiment is from the polar bear set from last year called Beary Cute.  

To make the marshmallows in the cup, I used the little tea bag tag from the Cups & Kettle dies and placed them upside down.  I thought these did a nice job of resembling marshmallows. :)

Here's a list of my supplies....

Stamps: Beary Cute

Paper: white, Real Red, Shaded Spruce, Country Woods DSP, Holidays Fancy Foil vellum

Ink: versamark

Accessories: White EP, Linen Thread, Wink of Stella, In Color gems

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!
