Holiday Hot Chocolate Recipe

I had lots of fun making this card. I used two new releases ITS A WONDERFUL LIFE and CUP OF COCOA from CLEAR DOLLAR STAMPS.
I also used an individual stamp from CDS called CANDY STICKS. All these individual stamps are under $1.50. They are so cute and fun to use.

Included on my card is a yummy recipe called HOLIDAY HOT CHOCLATE
Ingredients:
Instant Hot Chocolate Packet
Vanilla Ice Cream (or your choice)
Whip Cream (I use the squirt kind)
Chocolate sprinkles (optional)
Candy Cane
Directions:
Make cup of hot chocolate according to packet directions. Top with one scoop of ice cream and then whip cream. Sprinkle with chocolate sprinkles if desired. Add a candy cane to stir with.
This is a family favorite of ours. Yum. Try it.

I paper pieced my cups and sponged edges with distress ink. I layered to get the look I wanted. I decorated with the candy sticks for edges. I used dimensional glaze, and the tip I learned for the candy sticks was to make one long slow line. It gave my stick some roundness like a real candy stick. On the cups, I dimensionals glazed them each three times. Really stands out IRL. The mulitiple layers of glaze makes a big difference. Looks really nice.

Thank you for visiting me today.
