Happy Holidays from Memory Box to everyone celebrating today!  

Hi, Jean Okimoto here  - transitioning between holidays on my final Christmas design of the year.  The new Cuppa Love die set joins a dark floral print from the Garland 6x6 set to send warm winter wishes.

Cut Cuppa Love from cream cardstock.  Cut it again from dark brown cardstock and keep all of the offcuts except the heart and the piece inside the handle.  Attach the brown diecut and offcuts behind the cream diecut.  The die set includes solid shapes for the beverage surface and the front of the cup.  I wanted to add dimension so I stacked the pieces instead of paper-piecing them.

Cut the small inner heart from the red glittered Festive 6x6.

Select a section of the Garland floral print for the cup and cover it with a piece of packing tape to add a glossy finish - like a ceramic glaze.  (Details, details!)  Cut it with the solid cup die.  

Cut a red 6x6 from the Berry Red Collection with the second-largest Double Stitch Loving Heart Cut Out die.  It cuts a solid heart - the double stitch pattern appears on the offcut outline.

Cut a ¾" x 5" strip of the green glittered Festive 6x6.  Cut a ¾" x 4-¼" strip of the medium-green 6x6 in the Lush Green collection.

Stamp the greeting - from the Sweet Christmas Clear Stamp Set - on cream cardstock with Satin Red VersaFine.  Quickly heat-emboss it with detail clear powder.

Attach the strips, diecuts and greeting to a top-folded light green A-2 card.  Add the lighter red Christmas Fairy Crystals.  Cut an A2-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.

Hope you've enjoyed the Christmas ideas from our Design Team.  We're getting ready for Valentine's Day and look forward to sharing more projects featuring our latest release!
