National Hot Cocoa Day

HAPPY NATIONAL HOT COCOA DAY EVERYONE!!! We are celebrating this fun day with a collaboration blog hop.

We’re collaborating with Super Sponsor The Stamps of Life! This blog hop starts at The Stamps of Life blog!

And for this blog hop… I made 2 projects to share with you that I created using the hotchocolate2stamp set and Hot Chocolate Dies.

My first project is a hot cocoa hello card. I cut out the patterned paper with the mug die from the Hot Chocolate Dies. Then, I also cut the foam out of watercolor paper, colored it with Arteza Real Brush Pen and watercolor brush, then I added the glitter on it with glue adhesive.

I added the snowflake patterned paper on the card, and added some metallic silver watercolor paint on it and dried it. Then I cut out the frame with Double Stitched Rectangles Dies and added it on the card with permanent glue on top of the card.

I added the mug and foam on the card with 3D foam tape. I cut out the sentiment strip with Double Stitched Banner Dies, and I stamped the sentiment from the hotchocolate2stamp set with VersaFine Clair Pinecone ink pad.

My second project is the hot cocoa mug tag. I used the same stamp set and die set. I did the stamping, watercoloring, and die cutting the mug and spoon. I stamped the marshmallow on white cardstock and fussy cut them, I put them in a clear bag and tied it up with twine ribbon.

Here’s the full list of the blog hop where you can see lots of inspirations from both Stamp of Life team and Coffee Loving Cardmakers team.

  6. The paper pattern on the cup of your first card looks like a sweater. I love it! I’ll be looking at all my dies to see if I can make a tag with it now. Such a cute idea. TFS!

  26. Oh my goodness, the marshmallows in the bag… ADORABLE! The hello card is lovely. Makes me think of being bundled up and going around the neighborhood caroling with friends while pulling cocoa in a wagon in thermoses and airpots. ❤️
