<p>On the background border, I use the <a href="https://www.joyclair.com/collections/card-making-clear-stamps-6x8/products/christmas-borders-clear-stamp-set?aff=7">Christmas Border Clear Stamps Set</a>. I stamped the holly leaves and berries using MISTI and Creative Corners. I added the VersaFine Clair Tulip Red Ink Pad and VersaFine Green Oasis Ink Pad with sponge daubers. I stamped the image couple times for extra boldness.</p>
<p>I added some gold splatters on a white cardstock using one of the Gold Palette from the Finetec Metallic set. I dried it with craft heater.</p>

<p>I use the <a href="https://www.joyclair.com/collections/coffee-themed-stamps/products/christmas-cocoa-clear-stamps?aff=7">Christmas Cocoa Clear Stamps Set</a> for the mugs and sentiment. I stamped the sentiment on the background panel with VersaFine Tulip Red Ink Pad and MISTI. And then I added the finished panel on the red card with adhesive glue.</p>
<p>I stamped the mug image couple times on a watercolor paper with VersaFine Tulip Red Ink Pad. And then I stamped the snowflake in the middle of the cup with VersaMark Ink Pad, and heat-embossed it with white embossing powder and craft heater. After that, I colored both cups with Leisure Arts Watercolor Pencils and waterbrush.</p>
<p>I dried the watercolored mugs with craft heater and then I fussy cut them with scissors. I added the first mug on the card with adhesive glue, and added the second mug on top of the first one with 3D foam tape for extra dimension.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s my Holiday coffee, CAS card for this challenge.</p>
<p>Thank you for stopping by! Hope you all have a wonderful day.</p>
