Hot Beverages On A Hot Summers Day

Good morning friends~  Jo over at Christmas Kickstart Challenge has another awesome challenge going on and I thought I'd missed it, but thankfully there's still a few days left so you can join in on the fun too.  The theme is "Your Hot Beverage Of Choice".

I turned to an old PTI set that remains one of my favorites, "Cozy Christmas". 
I love the look of the vintage thermoses and I spent some time this past winter stamping a bunch of them and tucked them in a baggie for future cards. 

  Well, this challenge was the perfect time to pull them out and put them to use.

 I made a few cards using the pre-stamped and die cut thermoses and now I have four cards added to my box for this years card list.

Thanks to challenges like Christmas Kickstart Challenge, I should hopefully be on target with my cards this year, since last year I fell short.

I'm also entering one of these cards to the following challenges:
Word Art Wednesday ~ Anything Goes

Thanks for stopping by!

This is a stamp set I'd always wished I had gotten and I can see why it's one of your favorites with your vintage loving heart my friend! Four FABULOUS cards and yay for having stamped a bunch of them up a head of time and making quick work out of completing 4 cards! Loving all 4 of them Birgit!! :0)

Oh I love those thermoses, they look awesome! I always have a hot beverage everyday, I find it's for the safety of others lol Each of your backgrounds are FAB, loving that pretty plaid! Merry Merry hahaha (oh and I am still waiting for the pods to brown up on the Columbine and now the Foxglove too, but don't worry you are at the top of my list!) ;)

great idea to have stamped them ahead of time, I love them too, reminds me of what my Dad used when I was little, love the plaid backgrounds with them in the last two.

Wonderful cards with your pre-stamped thermoses! I love those vintage images and remember my dad had one that resembled these. Each of your card designs shows them off beautifully!
