Hi cardmaking friends!. I know it’s a busy week with Thanksgiving preparations, but I wanted to drop in and share another fun Santa’s Cocoa Cup Christmas card with you. The Spellbinders Wonderland Collection release launched back in July, and between company and summer chaos, I never had a chance to play with them. But now that the snow is falling outside, I’m officially in Christmas-card mode. How about you? Maybe squeeze in some crafting while the turkey roasts – LOL!

Before we jump into the card instructions – check out the EARLY BLACK FRIDAY DEALS – They are amazing and going on all week, so check back often. I have been updating my Crafty Sales Page daily.

This adorable die-cut Santa mug comes together super easily — choosing the colors is the hardest part! For the sentiment, I used the Merry Messages BetterPress set, which presses (or foils) all the sentiments at once and includes a coordinating die that cuts them all at the same time. I love a good time-saving tool!

For the background, I used the Snowfall Shimmer BetterPress Plate and Glimmer-hot foiled it in white onto Waterfall cardstock. Isn’t it great that these plates work for both press and foil techniques! Double-duty products are my favorite!

Step-by-Step Instructions for the Santa’s Cocoa Cup Christmas Card.

Start by using the Cocoa Wonderland Die set to cut all the pieces for the Santa Cocoa Cup, then assemble and adhere the layers together.

Next, use the Merry messages BetterPress set to white glimmer foil the sentiments onto Schoolhouse Red cardstock. Use the coordinating die to cut them out all at once – so quick and satisfying!

Then, die cut a vellum panel using the Perfect Touch Arches and Tag Die Set. Attach the Santa mug and sentiment to the vellum piece with foam squares to add dimension and a little festive pop.

Next, use the Snowfall Shimmer BetterPress Plate to add white glimmer hot foiling to a piece of Waterfall trimmed to 4″ x 5-1/4″. Layer this onto a 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ panel of Schoolhouse Red cardstock, then adhere the completed panel to a top-folding A2 white card base.

Finally, add foam squares behind the Santa Mug piece and sentiment (only where there is cardstock behind the vellum), and position it in the center of the card front.

PRO-TIP – avoid placing foam squares directly behind the unsupported vellum, as they will show through.
