Christmas Is the Time for Coffee and Cards!

 Coffee and Christmas are pretty perfect together, don't you think? For today's card I took a non-Christmas stamp set, and gave it a traditional holiday spin. I wonder what stamps you have in your stash that you could give some Christmas flair?

For today's card, I combined two sweet stamp sets. I started with the Cup of Tea stamp set from Spellbinders. At first glance, this stamp set feels springy and flowery, but for today's card I want to give these stamps a cozy, warm Christmas spin. 
After embossing and die cutting the coffee pot, I paired it with a sentiment from the Deck the Halls stamp set. Perfect, right?! I added some die cut leaves, some "berry" buttons and a twine bow and this card came together just like I wanted - warm, cozy, and perfect for Christmas! 
After I finished the card, I wasn't quite ready to be done playing, so I pulled out the DIY Hoops - it's a darling little faux embroidery hoop, all ready for customizing with paper and embellishments. I added the same gorgeous buffalo check printed paper for the base, and then I added another stamped coffee pot and cup plus a holiday sentiment.
This little embroidery hoop will be a darling Christmas ornament with a little loop of thread attached behind it - and the card is all ready to go with it! What a sweet and simple gift for a coffee-loving teacher, friend, or coworker, right?!
