Day 1 – Week of Good Cheer Christmas Cards

This is Day 1 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 Karen Burniston’s Flower Pot Pop-Up die set and Winter Hugs stamp set. (GIVEAWAY opportunity near end of post.)

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

Cardbase:  I started with a purchased A6 sized (4.625×6.25-inches) cardbase and matching envelope. Use the large journaling cards in the paper collection to cover the front and back panels of the cardbase. Die cut two scalloped rectangles from the Rectangles and Labels – Crosshatch die set for the inside of the card.

Cocoa Mug Pop-Up:  Watch the assembly video for the Flower Pot Pop-Up located at the bottom of the linked page. Cut and emboss the napkin from the Coffee Cup Pop-Up. Tape napkin pieces together to form a square, leaving a thin gap between the pieces. Die cut the tabs in the Flower Pot Pop-Up into the napkin. Cut two sets of the candy cane (reversing the paper on one set) from white and red cardstock using the dies from the Stocking Pop-Up. Cut several large marshmellows using the Camping Charms die set. Cut a spoon from silver mirror cardstock using the die in the Tea and Coffee Pop-Up set. Using the same set, cut the mug handle twice positioning the die so that it cuts just a thin strip of the mug.

Sentiments:  The front sentiment is a journaling card from the paper collection. Inside are Fancy labels die using the Rectangles and Labels – Crosshatch die set. The smaller label is stamped in pink and brown ink using the Winter Hugs stamp set.

Envelope:  The back flap is covered with stickers from the Simple Stories Paper Collection.

These are two additional Christmas mugs of good cheer that I made using the same technique for the Flower Pot Pop-Up.
