Day 2: October Blog Hop

Day 2: October Blog Hop

Hello, Gemma here today with a cozy Christmas card to share. I used the new Winter Mug die set, which I teamed with the new Layered Snowflakes stencil.

Day 2: October Blog Hop

I started with the background, blending distress oxide inks through the 3 layers of the Layered Snowflakes stencil set. I used Tumbled Glass, Salvaged Patina and Speckled Egg. Over the Speckled Egg layer, I also added Nuvo Moonstone glimmer paste for a touch of sparkle. I then put the background aside to dry.

Next, I die cut the Winter Mug from blue and red sparkle card. Behind the red mug, I added two more die cut layers from plain red card, for dimension. There are lots of fun elements in the Winter Mug die set. I die cut some candy canes, snowflakes and marshmallows, along with the piece for the drink in the mugs.

Day 2: October Blog Hop

Once the background was dry, I adhered it to a square card base, then added the Winter Mugs on top. Finally, I added a sentiment from the Holiday Sentiments stamp set, die cut using a banner die from the Holiday Envelopes coordinating die – both are new sets in this release. I also added a red banner behind for another pop of colour.

BONUS: do you spot the fun trees in the background of my card photos? These were created using the fabulous Pine Trees die set from the October release!
