Happy Thursday and Happy Thanksgiving! Toni is this week's hostess for the Ways to Use It challenge, Coffee and Pie! That's what you get when you combine National Espresso day and Thanksgiving. I used Toni's challenge to get in another Christmas card. Hope you'll join in on the fun.
It's starting to get chilly here and keeping warm and cozy is my focus. I just got the cute sweater bg and had a stamp in my stash with the Winter Warmers sentiment, a hat, a mitten and earmuffs. Love how they work together! I stamped and heat embossed the sweater bg. Stamped, colored and fussy cut the girls and their hats. Stamped, heat embossed, colored and fussy cut the cups, then layered it all together. Finished it off with some washi tape, a sentiment panel and faux brads made with punched snowflakes, Glossy Accents and glitter. TFL

You've captured a world of vintage coziness and old world nostalgia, Carla! I don't know which I like more, the best knitted design or the sweet wrappers on the coffee cups. Your faux flake brads loom great, too.

Fabulous warmth! Love all the elements and how you combined them. I especially like the sweater background with the white on the red. Love the colors, cheery pie & mocha coffee. Smile. Great card for the challenge theme and the upcoming winter season. TFS
