So glad that I stumbled upon the post about the 2025 Coffee Lover's Blog Hop! I haven't missed one yet since Amy started them many years ago. Since she stated that 'Hot Cider' was something that could be included, I wanted to use the new 'Cocoa Cozy Cider Additions' sentiment set from The Greetery:
I paired it up with the Warm & Wonderful stamps and dies from a few years ago, that creates the wonderful glass mug of cider, and the added greenery bits. I used Distress Oxide inks, inking the Cider in ombre style with Speckled Egg/Antique Linen and Rusty Hinge.
Around the edges, I used Vintage Photo and the Frosty Flakes stencil (also The Greetery), just enough to add the suggestion of snowflakes, and add a little rustic feel to the card. Most of the glass & foliage were popped up with 3D foam adhesive, and a few black jewels add a bit of sparkle.
Thanks as always to Amy for putting together a wonderful event!
