A Latte Thanks

I'm quickly popping in here to share a gift card holder design I made for the coffee lovers in my life, and to play along with the Holiday Coffee Lover's Bloghop!
These were a lot of fun to make!  I used acetate for the entire cup from MFT's LLD Cool Cup, and attached a second "cup" that was distressed with DI Vintage Photo and then flicked with Vintage Photo and water from a paintbrush.  I attached it and the whipped cream to the acetate by running them through the Xyron so that the sticky side was on the front.  The tag and the circle are both from MFT Tag Builder Blueprints 4, the heat embossed sentiment is from MFT's LLD Stay Cool, and the Thanks die cut is from PTI's Wet Paint Cuts.  The sequins are beech wood from Serendipity Stamps, and the twine is from Michaels.  All of the papers were from my scraps.  I tri-folded the base paper to make a flap inside and adhered those sides to create a pocket for the gift card. 
 I hope you are playing along and enjoying the Holiday Coffee Lover's Boghop!
