Coffee and Biscotti...Yum

...and let's add hot cocoa!  I haven't found  good store-bought biscotti biscuits so I make my own about twice a year and freeze.  They aren't the easiest things to make and are a little time consuming, but they're worth it.

I want to give a few gift certificates to some people for thank you's in helping with my house issues.  Starbucks...here I come!  The Coffee and Biscotti set is a wonderful November Release at Doodle Pantry.  Lucky me...lucky you!

It's been a while since I've done a "swing out" card. I think it is something fun and unexpected.  I added a lot of glossy accents to give the mug dimension. Some more accents and I called it finished...haha

  4. Oh this is awesome. And what a great idea for a gift card! I'm not much for coffee but we are breaking out the hot chocolate as the weather takes a turn for the colder. Hope all is well with the move.

  5. Hi Cely! I'm sorry I have been gone for a few weeks... Between hubby breaking AT LEAST 4 ribs, I have had terrible internet issues. Let's hope the internet is at least fixed!

    What an ingenious card design! I am going through craftiness withdrawal and hoping for some good crafty time soon. Your card is just gorgeous my dear friend!

  9. What an adorable card/gift! Of course I would be the only one not knowing it opens up. I don't think I have seen one of these before. I'm sure they will be very well received.
