I’m not a person who likes coffee, lattes or tea, but I do love a good cup of hot chocolate with lots of whipped cream, especially when I’m watching Hallmark movies. Sometimes I’ll add a Ghirardelli Peppermint Bark Square to my hot chocolate, too! We’re having anything but Fall weather where I live in Southern California, in fact, we’ve had triple digit temperatures this past week. We won’t see any relief until Wednesday (fingers crossed). Anyway, I’m wishing for Fall weather!
For my card today, I used the More Than Autumn Bundle, Take a Bow 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, Stylish Shapes Dies and Spotlight on Nature Dies. I didn’t realize until I had made my card that I used three different sets of dies. If you only have the Stylish Shapes Dies, there is a circle pretty close to what I used to put my hot chocolate on.
I started with Garden Green cardstock for the base of my card. Then I added a layer of Basic White cardstock with a piece of Take a Bow Designer Series Paper (DSP). Next, I stamped the cup onto Take a Bow DSP using Memento Ink, the whipped cream on to Basic White and I did another cup onto Real Red cardstock, using Memento Ink. I used the More Than Autumn dies to cut the whipped cream but the cups I used my Paper Snips to cut them out (if you use the dies, it will have a rim around it and for this card, you don’t want the rim). I only cut the center part out on the Real Red cardstock.
Next, I added an Adhesive Sheet to the back of my Real Red cardstock and cut the words “Hot Cocoa” out using my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and the More Than Autumn Dies. I stamped a candy cane onto Basic White cardstock using Real Red ink and cut it out with the More Than Autumn Dies. I also stamped “Nothing’s Better Than” in Real Red ink onto Basic White cardstock and cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I cut a large circle out of Basic White cardstock using the Spotlight on Nature Dies.
Now on to assembly of the card. I made sure where I wanted everything to go before gluing it down. I adhered the circle to the front of the card. I glued the center of the cup in Real Red cardstock to the cup and then added glue to the lower portion of the whipped cream and adhered it to the cup. Then I added Stampin’ Dimensionals all over the back of the cup and adhered it to the circle. Then I added the candy cane to the center of the cup.
I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the sentiment and adhered it to the top of the card. Then, I peeled off the adhesive sheet on the back of “Hot Cocoa” and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White to the inside.
