Welcome to Day 1 of The Twelve Days of Christmas with MCT! Today is the first day of 2 weeks of wonderful Holiday projects! We hope we are able to inspire you with some of our holiday projects and ideas.
Today I made a mug shaped card. The shape I traced from a template I found at the Scrapbook Expo a few months ago. I did a few modifications to make a slip in pocket to hold a tag with "cash" attached.
I used the XL and XL Stitched Label dies and the Lowercase Fun dies to put on the front of the mug. I cut the letters out of PTI coasters first, then I cut paper and covered the coasters.
The "whipped cream" on top of the hot chocolate is actually the cloud die from the Fly Away with Me dies. The bottom half is a tag I made using Just Tags dies. The stocking I paper pieced is from Warm Holiday Fun stamp set. I put Diamond Dust on the cloud to look like sugar.
The twenty is attached to the back of the slip in tag with a small glue dot. I used my glue gun to attach the bow and button securely.
Supplies I Used:
This and That Christmas - Echo Park
Ripe Avocado, Dark Chocolate and Fine Linen Card Stock,
Coaster - Papertrey Ink
Seam Binding Ribbon - Liz's Paper Loft Boutique
Button - Vintage Trinkets, Maya Road
Festive Berries, Peeled Paint and Tea Dye Distress Inks
Glossy Accents and Diamond Dust
Cuttlebug Swirls Embossing Folder
HUGE GIVEAWAY ALERT!
