Hi crafty friends! Thanks for stopping by. Today I have a card using the Pixi Dust Designs Snowman Mug dies, instead of the box I shared on release day. I am all about treat boxes and 3D projects with our cardmaking supplies, but it’s so great when things can work both ways!
When creating my snowman mug, I went with a more traditional color palette this time. I used liquid glue to adhere all the pieces. That extra wiggle time is great when creating projects like these.
Pro tip, the mug die cuts a slit for the candy cane and spoon that gets hidden by the whipped cream. I slid my pieces in the slot and held them together with washi tape to keep them from moving around while the glue dried and I was adding my other elements.
Next, I started on my background. This time I used distress oxide inks in kitsch flamingo and spun sugar for a soft pink tone. After blending at a diagonal on the panel, fading to nothing, I spritzed it with water and blotted it dry. For extra texture I splattered both colors on the panel too.
To create a focal point for my mug, I cut the largest Doily die from vellum and used foam squares to attach my snowman to that. Then I used liquid glue to adhere that to the inked panel. This hides the glue and makes it easy to attach. next, I used the Mug Add On dies to cut a sentiment from black cardstock and glued that with liquid glue at the bottom.
For finishing touches today I just added white gel pen highlights around the whole mug. Isn’t he just the sweetest!?! Totally adorable and other Christmas card for my stash, ready to go in December!
