The Impression Obsession design team is featuring dies as the main focus for our inspiration projects today. I made a card using Large Frame (which is, in my opinion, a must-have die!), and the Tea & Cocoa mug set.

I added a twine bow dressed up with a cute small button, made using one of the buttons from Button Card. Check the Impression Obsession blog for a list of designers providing inspiration today!

Fill a mug with hot tea, coffee, cocoa or cider, and I’m happy! Give me crafty time too, and oooooh goodie!

I added a cute little red heart cut from wool felt, as well. I dressed the mug up with a die cut button and some holly leaves. The button is from the Sewing Accessories die set, the holly is from the Primitive Candy Cane & Holly die set, and the little candy cane stuck in the whipped cream was made with the candy cane included in the Stocking die set. Once the card was finished, I gave it a quick spray with glitter spray, for lots of sparkle and shine! Frame and mug printed papers are from Authentique’s Jingle line. Super cute! The green paper I used for the holly is from an American Crafts 6x6, but I don’t recall the series name. It was a scrap, put to good use. Continue reading
