This is Day 4 in the Week Of Good Cheer Christmas Card series featuring cups and mugs of winter cheer as beverages or as in today’s card, a floral arrangement using all Anna Griffin products. (GIVEAWAY opportunity near end of post.)
Watch the video below to see how the card was made.
Cardbase: I started with an A7 sized (5×7-inches) cardbase and matching envelope from Anna Griffin’s Present Pop-Up Card Making Kit.
Card Front: Embellishment pieces from Anna Griffin’s Favorite Tea Embellishments, Present Pop-Up Card Making Kit, Finishing School Carte Noel Craft Box, and Holiday Home Slider Card Making Kit were used to decorate the card front.
Teacup Pop-Up: The tea cup’s six pieces were die cut using the Anna Griffin Tea Cup Pop- Up Dies. The dies have an embossing/stenciling feature which I used to color the floral embossings with a gold metallic marker. Watch the video above for the assembly of the piece. The cup is filled with embellishment pieces from the aforementioned kits above.
Sentiments: The card front, envelope back flap and inside floral flag sentiments are from the aforementioned kits above. The red label inside has been heat embossed with “Merry Christmas” in gold.

Today’s card is an A2 size top-fold card that uses the new Snow Charms die set and Winter Hugs stamp set.
Watch the process video to see how this card was made.
Cardbase: Fold in half an 11×4.25 inch piece of white cardstock to form a top-fold A2 (4.25×5.5 inch) size cardbase. Cover all four panels with rectangles of patterned paper using the largest die from the Rectangles – Crosshatch set. Cut a frame of white glitter cardstock using the same die and the next largest die and glue to the front panel.
Mug of Cocoa: Using the Tea and Coffee Pop-Ups die set cut one mug from red cardstock covered with clear packing tape. Cut one of the largest snowflake in the Snow Charm set, snip off charm loop and cover with glitter gloss before gluing to mug center. Allow to dry before rounding/shaping mug with a bone folder. Cut from white shimmer cardstock the cupcake frosting piece from the Cupcake Add-Ons set and adhere to back of the mug with two small foam dots. Cut one steam piece from the Tea and Coffee Pop-Ups set from clear vellum.
Cut the mechanism piece and arm strip from the same patterned paper as inside of card. Cut a white crosshatch label from the Rectangles and Labels – Crosshatch set and trim off about 1/2-inch from long side. Glue the large piece of label onto the inside card floor centering it up against the fold. Glue the mechanism into card as instructed on the assembly video located at the bottom of this linked page. Attach arm to mechanism. Using a large foam dot adhere the mug to the front of mechanism. Glue vellum steam piece to arm making sure it is positioned so it does not peak-out of the card when it is closed.
Decorations: The card front decorations are from the Snow Charms set, along with some snowflake sequin mix elements. The inside spoon is from the Tea and Coffee Pop-Ups set.
Sentiments: All the sentiments come from the Winter Hugs stamp set. All the fancy labels come from the Rectangles and Labels – Crosshatch die set. “Snowflake kisses & winter wishes” was stamped on clear vellum with StazOn ink and the whole label was covered with glitter gloss. The vellum was adhered to the card front using glue dots.
Envelope: The card fits into an A2 (4.25x 5.5-inches) size envelope. The back flap was decorated with a hat from the Winter Animals set and mittens from the Snow Charms set.
