Holiday Cheer

The Jingle Belles are thrilled to be teaming-up with the Caffeinated Christmas Challenge this month – our first June prompt at Jingle Belles is to create a Christmas Card with Coffee (and make it  masculine if you're going to link-up at Caffeinated Christmas).

Caffeinated Christmas is sponsored by Rubbernecker stamps, so I incorporated several of their products into my design.

I started with their fabulous Rubbbernecker Coffee Bean Background for the base of my card framed on a red card base.

Next I die cut the Rubbernecker Coffee Cup Die cut in Red with the lid cut in black.  I cut the cup sleeve out of holiday holly paper from Simple Stories Claus & Co.  I used a tiny journaling card from the same collection behind the cup, stamping a Holiday Cheer stamp from Impress Holiday Word Set.

My husband asked me what made this card masculine and I told him it was the colors, but also because the Holiday *Cheer* was the shot of Kahlua that he puts in his coffee (LOL).
