I liked the Santa design but I quickly discovered that the only red card stock that I had was kind of a pinky red that seemed more magenta than true red. I did however have some lovely blue card stock, white card stock, and kraft paper so I started to figure out a design. I decided that I would make the mug pouches blue and use the kraft paper and white card stock for accents.
I started by making some embossed snowflakes on kraft paper and then cutting them out. This probably would of been a good application for PixScan but I was under a time constraint so I just opted to cut them out by hand.
I love watching the powder change to liquid as the tool heats it up. It is kind of similar to heating up the sugar on top of creme brulee with a kitchen torch.
I then used a shape that I already had in my library to create a message embellishment for the mugs. The larger background piece was cut out of kraft paper. I used white card stock and the print and cut feature of the Silhouette to make the top piece.
One I had all of my pieces cut out I put everything together using glue dots (until I ran out of glue dots and had to use scotch tape).
I then placed a packet of Swiss Miss cocoa, a snack sized Ziploc full of mini marshmallows, and a candy cane in each pouch.
This would make a great simple gift for anyone to show your appreciation of them. It could also make a great favor for a party. Let me know what you think of my latest project!
