I don’t drink coffee or hot chocolate but I love the steaming cup stamp image from the Scentsational Season stamp set (121190). And the snowflake on the cup goes perfectly with a Christmas card featuring snowflakes!
The card’s snowflakes were punched out with a non-Stampin’ Up! punch. I thought it matched so perfectly the snowflake on the stamp image. The miniature snowflakes from the punch outs were used for the steam coming up from the cup.
Also featured on the Christmas card is the “Merry Christmas” stamp image from the Stampin’ Up! Greetings of the Season stamp set. The following are additional pictures of the card.

The Scentsational Season Christmas card is very easy to make and you can make it too by following these instructions:
- Cut an 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ piece of Whisper White Card Stock (or other white card stock) and fold in the center to form a card base.
- Cut another piece at 2-1/4″ x 4-1/2″.
- Cut two 4″ x 5-1/4″ pieces of Bashful Blue Card Stock.
- Using a snowflake punch, cut out three snowflakes on the left side of both Bashful Blue Card Stock pieces.
- On one Bashful Blue Card Stock piece, apply VersaMark Ink on the snowflakes and cover them with the Heat and Stick Powder. Heat set.
- Cover the snowflakes with Dazzling Diamonds Glitter and heat set.
- Slip the right side of this piece into the Snow Burst Embossing Folder and run through a die-cutting machine.
- Cover with Bashful Blue Classic Ink the cup image from the Scentsational Season Stamp Set and stamp it onto the lower part of the 2-1/4″ x 4-1/2″ piece of Whisper White Card Stock. **Before stamping the image, remove the ink around the rim and cover with Soft Suede ink (Stampin’ Write Marker).
- Apply Crystal Effects and let dry.
- After drying, cover with Bashful Blue ink the “Merry Christmas” sentiment from the Greetings of the Season set and stamp onto the card stock (use a Stamp-a-ma-jig for proper placement).

- Attach the second Bashful Blue snowflake punched piece of card stock to the inside of the card.
