Cocoa Warms the Soul
Hidy Ho Stampers,
October 23, 2022. Today Teaspoon of Fun is bringing you some warm love in a mug! The cold weather is upon us here in the northeast and it’s going to keep getting colder so let’s break out that Hot Cocoa and warm up! I added a packet of Hot Chocolate to the inside of the card. Let’s take a look at what I picked for you today…
This set is so cute and VERY easy to create.
Hug in a Mug Stamp and Die Combo
I used …
Candy Cane, Berries and Mug – R24, R35, R39, RV99
Holly Leaves – YG13, YG17, YG63
Cocoa – E13, E15, E18, RV99
This set – Hug in a Mug – comes with a set of sentiments and the dies. It’s so much fun to create with it. I paired it with our PinPoint Snowflake Plate to continue that “chilly” feeling of snowflakes. I put Wink of Stella on the whip cream and marhmallows for that yummy glistening look.
I used our White Gel Pen on the candy cane for that white highlight. Then put Crystal Glaze on the candy cane and the Holly Berries for that shiny look.
The sentiment is one of our single stamps in the shop. It’s called Comforting Cocoa. We also have our classic “Drink Cocoa Watch Hallmark Movies” and/or “Hallmark Movie Season“. Both of those are so ready for this season! Make sure you check them out.
I put the card together with ourThin White Foam Squares instead of our Regular White Foam Squares because I didn’t want it to be popped up too high. I had a few layers to put together so I just didn’t what it too high. For the smaller pieces I used our #1 seller Deluxe White Glue. Make sure you have enough for the holidays. The pieces were colored with our Copic Markers.
