Warm Winter Wishes

It's Tuesday so it's time to share a project created for Topflight Stamps. This week the team is focusing on Christmas or Winter. Topflight Stamps is a super-sponsor for the 2024 Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop and is giving away a $25 gift certificate to one participant in the blog hop. In honor of the 2024 Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop, products in the Coffee/Tea/Cocoa categories are on sale. 

Here's my second card created with the Holiday Cheers Clear Stamp Set by Jane's Doodles for Creative Expressions and the Distress Plaid 8x8 Paper Pad by Taylor Made Journals for Creative Expressions. This time I'm using the two coffee-themed stamps in the set. The arch and snowflakes are from the Winter Scenery Die Set from the Arctic Winter Collection by Studio Light. The sentiment is from the Stay Cozy Clear Stamp Set 814 and the holly stamp is from the Miss Merry Clear Stamp Set 608 -- both by Janet Klein for AALL and Create.
