Peppermint Mocha

It was nearly 100 degrees here in West Michigan today.  It has never been this hot here as long as I can remember.  It has me actually wishing for one of our beautiful snow-drenched winters to come early.   In fact, wishing for a snowy, cold Michigan winter day and my favorite winter warm-up, Peppermint Mocha, is what inspired this card.

There are lots of sneak peeks from the upcoming Holiday Catalog.  So much cute stuff - coming August 1, 2012.  This darling stamp set has coordinating Framelits and two flavors of scented embossing powder to choose from (I chose "Peppermint Sticks").

The waffle-look background of the framelit label was created using the Simply Scored scoring tool and the Diagonal Plate accessory.

And don't you love that scallop circle!  It went quickly to the top of my must have list when I viewed the upcoming holiday goodies.  It coordinates perfectly with the 1" circle punch - for stamping out and framing cute little sentiments or images.  Adorable!
