Scentsational Christmas Cocoa

Christmas cards are my favorite of all cards to make.  I think because it starts me thinking of cooler weather, not cold, because after all, this is Phoenix, Arizona, but at least cooler!  It must be working because it was beautiful outside this morning.

I found this card made by Becky Roberts but made just a couple of changes.  I used whisper white instead of very vanilla for the snowflakes and the cocoa cup.  White just seemed better for snow.  I also used a different "Merry Christmas" than Becky did.  I can see I need to make some measurement adjustments too.  Can you see where I need to make a change?


To make the drink inside the cup a different color than the cup, ink up your stamp with Cherry Cobbler and then gently wipe off the "inside of the cup" with a Q-tip and then color back in with your Stampin' Write Marker.

Cardstock:  Crumb Cake, Whisper White and Chocolate Chip
Ink:  Early Espresso, Cherry Cobbler, Soft Suede
Stampin' Write Marker:  Chocolate Chip

Thanks Becky for the great inspiration!

Have a great day and remember to Stamp Well With Others!
