With so many holidays coming up--Hannukah, Kwanzaa, Christmas, New Year's, what will you be making in December?  Are you whipping up some last minute holiday cards, or do you need to churn out some thank you cards!

Looks like some of the ladies on the DT are having coffee cravings!  We also have a birthday card and a New Year card to inspire you!

Like Danni, Debbie Owens uses a trio of coffee mugs from the Christmas Coffees stamp set for her holiday card. Deb coordinates papers from the Love & Meows and the Christmas Basics paper pads. She inverts two of the elements by using the Postage Stamp Layout die set and trimming it down for her central stripe.

She adds the multi-layered cake from the Newton's Birthday Delights stamp and coordinating die set with the duo of 'taste testers!'  She creates a banner (Frames & Flags die set) for her sentiment.  Such a fun, celebratory card!
