Design Team Time for The Card Concept (#223), with an Inspiration Photo and a set of cozy Colors. I opted for the Cup and Color Combo in my design.

Sharing with Caffeinated Christmas Card (#49) always a hot cup of something; Inspired By (#370) for a winter knit: and Retro Rubber (#263) fun with older stamp sets.



Here is the result:

Steps:
- Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Smoky Slate cardstock.
- Background Panel: (4” x 5¼”) Very Vanilla cardstock dry-embossed with the retired Cable Knit Dynamic Embossing Folder.
- Friendship Heart: (3¼” x 3¼”) Very Vanilla and Real Red cardstock.
- The truncated sentiment, Happiness is a cup / shared with a friend, from the retired Coffee Café stamp set (circa 2017) was stamped with Pecan Pie ink onto the Very Vanilla cardstock square.
- Using the Heart die from the retired Spring Is In The Air Dies set, a Paper Pumpkin Add-On product, two Hearts were cut.
- The Very Vanilla Center Heart was then dry-embossed with the retired Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder.
- Decoration – Tea Cups: (5” x 2”) Pecan Pie cardstock.
- The Leafy Tea Cup image from the retired Cup Of Tea stamp set (circa 2022) was stamped twice with Versamark ink and heat-set with White Embossing Powder and then die-cut with the coordinating die from the retired Tea Cup Dies set.
- Sentiment Label : Real Red cardstock scrap.
- The sentiment, Making spirits bright, from the retired Vintage Christmas stamp set (circa 2022) was also stamped with Versamark ink and heat-set with White Embossing Powder and die-cut with the Label Tag die from the Fragrant Layers Dies set, a new On-Line Exclusive product.
All elements were adhered to the card base. The Sentiment Heart was framed with the Real Red Scalloped Heart and both the top Tea Cup and the Holiday Sentiment were popped up with Dimensionals.
A cozy Holiday friendship card.
