Shaped Mini Christmas Card

Hello! Welcome back to my blog. I created this card to join the latest Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge with the theme of snowman.

To create my card, I die cut a light blue cardstock using the Honey Bee Coffee Cup Gift Card Holder die. I die cut the whole coffee cup. I partially died the part without lid. I cut this piece twice, trimming it just right above score line created by the die. 

On one of the panels cut above, I die cut a circle window on the center. I aligned this to the whole coffee cup die cut, temporarily taping it. I positioned this in the Misti Stamping Tool. I positioned the circle snowman stamp inside the window and picked this up with the Misti door. I removed the window panel. I stamped the image using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I colored the image with Faber Castell Polycromos color pencils. The image is from Avery Elle Holiday Circle Tags clear stamp set.

I swiped a baby wipe on the two-coffee cup die cuts. I embossed this piece with the Simon Says Stamp Refined Snowflakes embossing folder. Adding moisture to the cardstock prevents paper cracking when embossed. I adhered the window piece to the front of the coffee cup die cut, aligning the window to the stamp image. I adhered the other one to the back. 

I die cut the coffee cup lid on a a blue cardstock. I die cut two pieces of this. I adhered this to the lid portion of the coffee cup die cut.

I stamped a sentiment on the inside. You can temporarily adhere a gift card to the inner front flap, if you want to.

Thank you for visiting my blog. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
