Hi crafty friends! I'm back! I made a super cute card yesterday and I couldn't wait to share it! So you guys know that I love Pumpkin Spice everything, right? Well, as soon as it turns winter, I loooooove Peppermint + Chocolate everything! LOL. So predictable! I love Peppermint Mochas from Starbucks and I REALLY love the Peppermint shakes at Chik-fil-a! OOOH LA LA. This card has a funny story…. The coffee/cocoa mugs are made with a Halloween die set! The die set is called Boo Brew and I loved it the second I saw it. So much so, that I ordered and bought it TWICE! But then fall came and went and I never even used it (either of them, LOL)…. Well the dies were in my 'in basket' on my desk and I got the creative wheels turning…. And out emerged this Winter themed card with a Halloween die set! Yay! I hope you're having a good week – sorry for the long story. Let's look at my card!
The finished card is an A2 card base that I covered with peppermint striped paper from the new Doodlebug collection!! All the light colored parts are cream cardstock, not white. I wanted a bit of a vintage flair to this one. I used stamps and dies from lots of companies for this card. Supplies are listed at the bottom of my post.
So if you imagine this mug in orange, can you see the pumpkin sections now?? I did red/red tone on tone to make it look like a fancy mug. I used red cardstock and then inked the edges with Brick Distress ink for depth. I glued on a snowflake (cream cardstock) and made a candy cane and a Gingerbread Man too! The leaves are supposed to be the pumpkin leaves, but I used them as holly!! The candy cane die and the Gingerbread man die are both old and discontinued from Taylored Expressions.
You know I had to add lots of rock candy glitter to my elements!! Especially that mountain of whip cream! I added enamel dots to look like holly berries and also for the centers of the snowflakes.
This FABULOUS background die is from Ellen Hutson from last year. I AM OBSESSED with it. I use it all the time!! So pretty and swirly!
I distress inked around the leaves and also my Gingerbread Man….
This pretty sentiment was stamped in dark brown ink onto a cream circle. I used the Lawn Fawn Magic Holiday Messages stamps and dies for the sentiment. I added a kraft paper scalloped circle around the word circle.
I feel like I would absolutely love to sit down with all of you and have a cup of coffee or cocoa and share the holiday season! I hope this card warmed your heart a little bit on this cold day. I will be back tomorrow with something really fun – and not holiday related!! See you then! XOXO

This is soo cute! Great idea on using the pumpkin mug for Christmas. I love it! ❤️
So adorbs!!! I would never even think it was made with a Halloween die set unless you told me. I am like you, Peppermint everything this time of year – even candles and soap! 😉
Super cute and your story, totally relate. I didn’t buy two of that particular die set but it has happened more times than I care to admit. What a great way to stretch your “seasonal” items. I need to pull mine out and make something fun. Love the vintage style of your card. Oh, EH is having 25% off of their essentials line so I picked up that swirl background through your link. 😉 score!
This one just oozes with sweetness. Love the cups and all that fun whipped cream. That tiny gingerbread man is adorable. Great job and try to stay dry out there …
LOVE your card! I am not surprised that you bought this die set twice… it’ a goodie! I have it on my wish list!
Love the layering and cute gingers, and the color combo is scrumptious!
Lovely, happy cozy card! I want to make some like it! I’ve been drinking hot apple cider all day trying to stay warm enough to craft!
Saw your post on FB and had to come straight away to your blog post on this one! Just too cute for words! I am putting this set on my Christmas wish list! Have a great day!
