May Your Holidays be Sweet

Hi, everyone!  Today I'm sharing a coffee-themed holiday card, and of course I had to include my favourite holiday icon, a gingerbread man!  

The coffee go-cup and gingerbread man are both from Pattie's Creations.  The go-cup, called Pumpkin Latte Mug, is a freebie this month (I digitally removed the pumpkin so I could add my gingerbread man; I hope Pattie doesn't mind).  The gingerbread man has retired but there is a similar one called Ginger Bread Cookie.  By the way, I noticed Pattie is having a 30% sale, and the coupon code is BOOP789.  I'm not sure when the sale ends, so if you want something, don't delay!

I coloured the sweet gingerbread man and cup lid with markers, and I paper-pieced the go-cup with patterned paper (Striped Elephants on Etsy).  Behind the cup is a die-cut stitched circle and stitched scalloped circle (both from Gina Marie Designs).  I stamped a sentiment from Cardz TV, embossed the kraft cardstock with Die'sire Embossalicious Let it Snow, and adhered three punched snowflakes (Recollections).  For a festive touch, I adhered a sparkly red bow (Designed by Alason) to the cup.

My card sketch was inspired by Build Your Stash Holiday Cards FB Challenge 26:  

I was also inspired by these 7 challenges, for a total of 8:

    Another interesting take of that sketch!Love so much the colours combo and that dotted scallop circle that adds also more cuteness to the gingerbread on the matching coffee go-cup!! The embossed background makes the card elegant and that sparkling little bow looks so sweet! A card useful for both masculine or feminine recipients, well done!! Have a carefree and peaceful day you too, dear Kitty!!
    Big Hugs!!
