Day 2 – Week of Good Cheer Christmas Cards

This is Day 2 in the Week Of Good Cheer Christmas Card series featuring cups and mugs of winter beverages like hot cocoa and mulled cider. Today’s card uses Spellbinders’ Mugs & Mittens die set and Stay Snuggly stamp set. (GIVEAWAY opportunity near end of post.)

Watch the video below to see how this card was made.

Cardbase:  I started with an A6 sized (4.625×6.25-inches) purchased cardbase and matching envelope.

Card Front:  Cut a white panel 4.375×6-inches and ink blend around the edges in a snowy blue ink. Splatter with white paint for snowflakes. Cut and assemble mitten, sweater and mug pieces as shown in video.

Sentiments:  The front sentiment is debossed using the banner and sentiment dies in the Mugs & Mittens die set and the letters colored with a white gel pen.  The inside sentiment and card back snowflake star are stamped in red ink using the Stay Snuggly stamp set.

Envelope:  The back flap is stamped in red ink using the snowflake and “Winter Cheers” from the  Stay Snuggly stamp set.

These are two additional Christmas mugs of good cheer that I made with the July 2025 Spellbinder’s Small Die of the Month – Cocoa Greetings, Ginger Sip die, Starry Snowfall 3D embossing folder and Nordic Noel embossing folder.
