Hot Cocoa

I am in a card making fenzy right now because I am a few cards short of all the people on my Christmas card list.  So here is the first in a bunch that I am going to be crazily making the next few days!

The card is 5 1/2"x4 1/4."  I used a white cardstock for the card base.  I then trimmed some dark blue cardstock at 5 1/4"x4" and some snowflake patterned cardstock at 5 1/8"x3 7/8."  I cut some dark brown cardstock at 4 1/2"x3 1/4" and some more dark blue at 4 3/8"x3 1/8."  I ran the dark blue cardstock through the Cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots embossing folder.  I used Christmas Cheer for the mug and steam.  It is cut at 4."  I added glossy accents to the hot cocoa and star dust Stickes to the steam.  I then used a snowflake punch for both snowflakes.  I added midnight blue Stickles to the snowflake on the mug.

For the inside of the card I cut some dark blue cardstock at 5 1/4"x4" and white cardstock at 5"x3 3/4."  I used some stamps from My Pink Stamper for the sentiments.  They are stamped using coffee bean ink by Tsukineko.  I trimmed them down and matted them with some dark brown cardstock.

I made this for the following challenges:

• 365 Cards: "Day 286" - hot and cold
• Celebrate the Occasion: Christmas, must use a punch
