I Like It A Latte

I can't stop playing with this stamp set.  I absolutely love it.  As I've said before, I don't even drink coffee but this is such a fun set.  I created this first card using Close to Cocoa and Real Red card stock.  The "friendship" stamp from Wonderful Words just seemed to fit perfectly in this design.  The heart is edged with Dazzling Diamonds.  The addition of the marshmallows and the two straws make this a steaming cup of hot chocolate to be shared.

I created this second card using Ruby Red and More Than Mustard card stock.  The heart and the foam on top of the latte were made using shimmery white card stock.  It has a little bit of sparkle to it (and we all know that sparkle is a good thing).  I considered adding ribbon to the design but settled on eyelets instead.

Barely Banana was a color that I didn't use too often but I seem to be using it quite a bit lately.  Pixie Pink and Sage Shadow (another color that I seem to be using more and more) are used as accent colors.  I don't think I would have put these three colors together on my own, however, the Color Coach (a color wheel sold by Stampin' Up) showed these three colors together and I thought, "What the heck, I'll give it a try."  Since I liked how the "friendship" stamp looked on the first card, I decided to use the "Thank You" stamp from the same set on this card. 

I certainly do Like It A Latte.

OMG Lil' sis! These are so cute! I just got that set from SU on Tuesday so I am chomping at the bit to play with it too. I still have to finish setting up my crafting room though so it will be a while yet unfortunately. LIke you, I don't drink coffee but I just love hot chocolate. Luckily DH likes coffee so I can make stuff for him with it too!
