My favorite coffee drinks are anything Pumpkin Spice and Cinnamon Dolce Latte...well, and just plain coffee, who am I kidding?!? lol - and so I decided to color these cups up in those themes...I had a lot of fun with all the little stamps and dies to mix and match the accessories with the cups:

 And all the wonderful words in the Perfect Blend stamp set make it so easy to create your own sentiments for any occasion:
