Holiday Coffee Lovers challenge, part 2

Hi everyone!  I have another coffee themed holiday card to share for the Holiday Coffee Lovers challenge!
***To see my first card and enter my blog candy giveaway, click to this blog post.***
I have so many coffee themed stamp sets, I just had to spread the love.  This one is by Reverse Confetti called Be A Barista!
 
I used my favorite Layered Poinsettia dies and created a Polaroid frame die cutting a square inside a rectangle (say that 3 times fast!).  My paper had horizontal stripes and I wanted them slanted, so I cut them on an angle.  It kinda uses most of the paper, but it was worth it!  Below is a visual.
I die cut the "merry" and adhered a piece of silver mirrored cardstock behind it.  I used the pierced rectangles die for the border on the white panel and added some scored lines along the inside.
