...tis a good little sketch, Roxie! I haven't made many square cards, but I definitely had fun with this one.
I never got to use Basic Grey's Eskimo Kisses last year, so I am excited to cut into those charming patterns. The wonderful latte mug and sentiment is a single stamp from I Brake for Stamps. It was inked with Adirondack Espresso and embossed with clear ep. I used Liquid Applique for the foam. The blue panel was 'bugged with the snowflake folder. The peppermint candies were cut from an old discontinued Basic Grey paper that I used UTEE on for dimension. I added a bit of vintage seam binding at the top.
Having lived in Seattle and the Pacific Northwest for decades...we are fussy about our coffee. And this time of year, what with peppermint mochas, eggnog lattes, and gingersnap lattes, all's good! Thanks so much for having a look and your comments are greatly appreciated. What'll it be for you...I'll start steamin' the milk.

A very yummy card! Pretty choice of dp's and I just love your glazed peppermint candies. Cute sentiment too - this would a fun card to send and fun to receive! Someone who recently visited the States brought back Pumpkin Pie flavored coffee - too many delicious choices these days, they all sound sooooo good!

I mostly just drink my coffee plain, but I am almost smelling cinnamon for some reason while I look at yours. Maybe because your peppermint candies, looking good enough to eat, also make me think of clove drops??
Have a blessed and thankful day tomorrow.

I typed up my comments and they just disappeared, so I will try to recreate my initial excitement at seeing this steaming latte for our enjoyment. I just finished off an eggnog latte down here and truly appreciate a well-made cup of java. This one has the billowing foam that I so love. These papers are gorgeous. YUMMO, Susan.
