This week at MyGrafico we were to emboss. Any type of embossing or embossed items; like embossed papers, embossing with stamps, embossed elements, dry embossing etc. We used Breakfast Clip Art by JD Digi Design & Falling for Autumn Paper Pack by Cupcake Cuties.
Christmas is only 9 1/2 weeks away so it’s time to start thinking of gifts. I love to give home made gifts and seeing the coffee cup image in the Breakfast Clip Art set gave me an idea. Cappuccino Mix!
So I found a Cappuccino recipe and made up the mix (and of course had a cup to keep the creative juices flowing). I then printed out the directions on how to use the mix. Using Spellbinder’s Scallop & Standard Circle nesties, I cut out the directions, coffee cup and the layers, made sure I embossed them. Used Martha Stewart border punch for my trim. The design paper is from the Falling Autumn Paper Pack. The coffee cup is attached with dimensions. 
Here is a look at the lid: 
And here is the recipe so you can make your own Cappuccino Mix:
Cappuccino Mix
1 cup instant non-dairy coffee creamer
1 cup instant chocolate drink mix
2/3 cup instant coffee crystals,
regular or decaffeinated (I used 1 cup)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Combine creamer, drink mix, coffee crystals, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg, and mix well. Store in airtight container. (can leave out spices, can use flavored non dairy coffee creamer)
Makes 3 cups dry mix, 15 servings.
To prepare one serving, add 3 tablespoons mix to 6 ounces of hot water and stir well.
