Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop + PTI Make It Monday #344

Welcome to the cafe!

Today's Brew was made for the Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop and the Make It Monday challenge at Papertrey Ink to "Deck Your Dies".

I "decked out" the Latte mug with some buffalo plaid, then "decked out" the snowflake die by running it through with an embossing folder.

Finally, I used the negative space created by the snowflake die to create an interior panel (always important for those black base cards) and gave the space a little snowy treatment with some white ink and white embossing powder. Fun!

{Today's Brew: Cuppa Love stamps and dies (PTI), Cup of Cheer stamp sentiment (PTI), Christmas Faith stamps (PTI), Plaid background stamp (Concord and 9th), PTI snowflake die, SU heart punch, Poppystamps perfect pine needles die, baker's twine, Mister Huey white spray, Amuse rhinestone, PTI ink and card stock}

I have been getting so much use out of that pine needle die from Poppystamps! I won this item from one of the Coffee Lovers Blog Hops, and I'm so glad I got it! Thank you to all the wonderful sponsors!

This card is going to a sweet lady from Bible study (a pastor's wife) who just recently had cataract surgery. I'm including a Biggby coffee gift card with this one. I tried their Peppermint Mocha last week, and it was SOOOO good!

Thanks for visiting the cafe today!
