Christmas Cocoa Cups with Megan | Cozy Winter Cuties

Today we’re sharing a warm and whimsical winter card from Megan, featuring our Hot Cocoa Cups stamp set paired with the Ink Splats No. 2 Stencil. From the soft pastel blending to those adorable winter friends nestled inside their mugs, this card feels like the crafting equivalent of wrapping your hands around a warm mug on a chilly day. ❄️☕✨

Instead of describing it all for you, let’s hear from the artist herself —


Hey friends Megan from the design team here! Today I am sharing a card that features the Crafty Stamp Co set Christmas Cocoa Cups. I also used the Coffee Splatter stencil and Ink Splats # 2 Stencil to create the background image on this card.

I used Copic Markers to color in the adorable images from the Christmas Cocoa Cups stamp, I stamped the middle image first then added masking paper to the middle image. I then positioned the other two stamps and stamped them using Memento Tuxedo black ink. From there I added masks to the other two images.

Then I used the Ink Splats #2 stencil to create a focal area behind the 3 adorable cocoa cup images with a blending brush and Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide Ink. I then used the Coffee Splatter stencil around the edges of the die cut stitched rectangle to fill up the background a bit more. I couldn't help myself and added white and brown splatter to the background.

I stamped the sentiment in Memento Rich Cocoa ink and layering on a piece of colored card stock that matches the one of my layers. The sentiment layers are popped up on foam tape for a bit of added dimension. 

For the card layers, I used 3 pieces of colored cardstock. A dark brown for the card base, a pink color for the crimped layer and a light brown behind the stitched rectangle piece. I finished the card with a few glitter dots and white gel pen highlights.

Do you get ready for those cold days with a warm cup of cocoa? I prefer my coffee but my little loves her cocoa.
