Christmas Mugs

Hi Crafty Friends,

Welcome to my blog! Today I am sharing four Christmas themed A2 Centre Step cards I created on the weekend. My Spellbinders July 2025 Club Kit arrived last week, so as soon as I had a free moment I was playing with all the fun new products.

I just love all these cute mugs that the Small Die of the Month for July 25 "Cocoa Greetings" creates. I used white and red glitter on Santa's Hat to add some sparkle to the image.

For these cards,  I created A2 Centre Step cards using Divinity Designs A2 Center Step Card with Layers die set. It's been a while since I have played with this die which is always lots of fun.

The bases of all cards are the same, I just changed the mug and sentiments to suit each image.

For the background for all four cards, I used the Starry Snowfall 3D Embossing Folder, which is the 3D embossing folder for July. After embossing each of the panels, I applied white pigment ink to the raised areas.

For the card above I created a reindeer, adding a red nose to make it rudolph. 

I searched through my sentiment stash to find the best sentiments to suit each of the images for the individual cards.

For the inside of the first two cards, I added the sentiment shown above. 

Who doesn't love penguins, and it was a chance to pull out one of my penguin themed sentiments from Mama Elephant.

This is the inside of my penguin card. I used a Christmas sentiment from Waffle Flower. The other part of the sentiment is from the Stay Snuggly, sentiment set from the Club kit. Unfortunately most of the sentiments this month suit a Winter Christmas rather than one for all the world.

The caboodle product for this month is a Gingerbread man, which comes with a die to chop of it's head to turn it into a mug using the handle and accessories included in the Small Die of the Month.

I have a few gingerbread sentiments in my stash so I used some of those on my card.

 

And finally the inside of my gingerbread card.
