A Holiday Hug in a Mug Card by Larissa Heskett

A Holiday Hug in a Mug

The holidays are the perfect time to cozy up with a hot beverage. Today Larissa has created a card that is perfect for sending cozy wishes!

To create this card she started out with our Cup of Cocoa Stamp Set. She created a background using all the fun images from the set, stamping them in black and added bits of paint splatter. 

Next, she features our new A Hug in a Mug Die Set, cutting the sentiment from black paper. She layers it over circles that were cut using our Circle Frames Die Set. The largest scalloped circle also features red polka dot paper from our Christmas Basics Paper Pad. 

What a perfect way to send a holiday greeting or cozy thank you to a a friend who loves cocoa or coffee!

Caffeinated Christmas Card by Donna Idlet

Caffeinated Christmas!

Need a bit of caffeine over the holidays? This fun holiday card by Donna using some of fun new holiday products will help give give you a boost of creative energy.

This card features the cute coffee mugs from our Christmas Coffees Stamp Set. She colored the images, adding bits of sparkle and then cut them out using the coordinating Christmas Coffees Die Set. 

Using our Framework Die Set she cut out the background panel with the postage edge using a piece of gingham paper from our Christmas Basics Paper Pad

Next, she used our Postage Stamp Layout Die Set to make the red postage stamps. This die set creates a full panel of stamps and she cut them apart to create three separate stamp images. 

She layered the coffees onto the red stamps and arranged them over the background. She also added the sentiment "Have yourself a CAFFEINATED Christmas" in the corner. 

We hope this caffeinated card gave you a creative boost today!. To see more beautiful creations by Donna, you can visit her blog, Creative Lady!
