Coffee card swap ~ December

Aloha~

This is the card I made for the swap this month. I was very sad that Impression Obsession was closing after 26 years of being in the industry. That's about the time when I "got addicted" to stamping, and all of a sudden my collection has started to explode! LOL Before that, I stamped, like 50 wedding invitation cards which I "heat embossed", using toaster oven, in early 90s but I only had a medium box, full of stamps, not A Room! LOL  But I could finally got this die set, even on sale, after first seeing this die set. It went "sold out" so fast in stamp stores, so I was happy to get it, finally! 

I got background stamp of candy canes from Taylor's Expression's Grab bag. I really wanted to have their tote bag which came with it, and I don't own many of their products, so I decided to try the grab bag. It comes with peppermint stick stamps, too. Every Christmas time, I crave for "Peppermint Mocha", and I decided to make this card. I just added "red" peppermint bits (with the marker) on the whipped cream of the bear's mocha! 😋

The sentiment is from My Favorite Things. 

This is the inside of the card.

Well, the year of 2025 is almost here... 

Thanks for stopping by my blog today. Hope you are having a nice weekend. Me? Lots of football games; both college bowl games and NFL!  Love, Eve
