A Cozy Gingerbread Coffee Card | Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge

Hi friends!
I hope you’re staying safe and warm this weekend. I wanted to pop in and share a card I made for the January Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge. The challenge prompt was the perfect reason to keep the cozy vibes going and get a little head start on Christmas cards for next year—which always feels like a win.

I spent some time organizing my Spellbinders cardstock yesterday, and seeing all of those beautiful colors laid out together really sparked the inspiration for this card. I also love how the smooth finish of the cardstock gives everything such a clean, polished look.

After picking out my palette, my idea for this card came together easily—don’t you just love when that happens!? 😄 The sweet gingerbread man is from a free-bee set I received in a Honey Bee Stamps order a while back, and the mug and spoon are from their Mugs & Kisses die set. The Happy Holidays sentiment comes from the Handmade Holiday stamp set by Concord & 9th.

While it’s subtle and not super visible in the photo, I used a pearl metallic cardstock for the marshmallow from the Spellbinders Antique White Assorted Treasured Cardstock Pack. It adds just a hint of soft shine in person and felt like a fun little detail for a holiday card.
