Christmas Thank Yous

Hi Crafty Friends,
I'm a little behind on sending out Christmas Thank You Cards but hopefully because this is handmade I'll be forgiven. I made the background with Retired Your Next Stamp Striped Mini Slimline Die and the cup is from Retired Your Next Stamp Thanks a Latte set. I love the little face!

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Do you give out handmade thank you cards for your Christmas gifts?
A: Me? Yes.

Warm Wishes Nordic Cozy Cocoa Cups

Hi Crafty Friends,
It's winter and the one thing I LOVE about winter is hot drinks like hot cocoa! I'm showing off the Poppy Stamps Nordic Cozy Cocoa Die with these fun tags.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: What is your favorite hot drink?
A: Me? Jasmine Pearl Green Tea

 

Step #1: I started my tags by die cutting the Poppy Stamps Warm Wishes Cheerful Script Die 2755 from white cardstock and Poppy Stamps Scalloped Pinpoint Tag dies 2740 with purple cardstock from the Poppy Stamps Twilight Purple Paper Pad.

Step #2: I die cut my tags using gold cardstock for the scallops and plaid centers from Memory Box Anemone Plaid 6x6 Paper Pad PP1025. 

Step #3: I diecut my Nordic Cozy Cocoa cups from matching papers to my sentiment and background tags then I mounted them on my tags and with the sentiments and finished them off with some fuzzy purple ribbon.
