Here's what I created:

Today I decided to create a holiday themed coffee card using a combination of stamp sets. I started out with the kitty hugging the travel mug of coffee from our Newton Loves Coffee Stamp Set. Then I stamped decorative snowman, polka-dot and cat mugs from our Cup of Cocoa Stamp Set. I colored all the images using inktense watercolor pencils, and a paintbrush with water. After they were colored I cut the images out using the coordinating Newton Loves Coffee Die Set and Cup of Cocoa Die Set. 

For the card background, I used our Argyle Stencil Set to make fun red and green argyle pattern. This stencil includes two pieces that have etching that you can line up so making a two color pattern is really easy! For the diamonds I used green distress ink on kraft cardstock using the first stencil. Then I used red ink with the second stencil to create the stitching. I cut the panel out using our Frames & Flags Die Set to give it a fun scalloped edge. Then I simply assembled all the pieces, adding a panel of white behind the kitty and mugs to help them pop off the card. The finishing touch was the sentiment "Have a cup of cheer" which I embossed in white onto a black banner that was cut out using our Banner Trio Die Set. I love how this banner has crease lines so that you can pop it up in the center!  I bit of white bakers twine and the card is done! 

I absolutely adore how this turned out! I love how you can combine a non-holiday image with some holiday ones to easily create a holiday card!
