Hug in a Mug Christmas Note Card

The card I’m sharing in today’s post is a holiday themed thank-you card.  I sent these out to customers who placed orders with me in November.  Plaid is everywhere right now and the plaid pattern paper from the Christmas Around the World Designer Series paper collection from Stampin’ Up! is one of my favorites.

I used a die from the Popcorn Box Framelit Dies to create the sweet scallop edge and the Holly Builder Punch to create the Holly.  I wrapped a small length of Linen Thread around the Designer Series Paper and tied it up in a bow.  The Rhinestone Basic Jewels were colored with a Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blend Marker.

The sentiment comes from the Hug in a Mug stamp set.  While the set is great for a Christmas card, it is not specific to Christmas.   Hug in a Mug offers a lot of versatility and can be used all winter long for many occasions.

Quilted Christmas Tree

Deck your halls by creating this whimsical Christmas Tree using the Quilted Christmas Designer Series Paper by Stampin’ Up!  I recently participated in a craft fair and made several of these adorable cork trees for my booth.  Someone mentioned they reminded her of the movie, How the Grinch Stole Christmas with Jim Carrey.  The little drooping star reminds me of a Charlie Brown Christmas tree.  Here is a quick video demonstrating the project:


Besides the corks, which I ordered from Amazon, you will need a glue gun and 18-gauge stem wire along with the products listed below.  The Quilted Christmas Designer Series Paper and the Trim Your Stockings Thinlit Dies are on the Stampin’ Up! Retirement List and are available thru the end of December while supplies last only.  Visit my on-line store here to see all the retiring favorites and discounted items.
