Merry Christmas, card and mug



Merry Christmas!  In honor of Christmas I've made a Valentine's Day card for my 365 Cards Super Sketchy Sunday card.  This way I'll be a bit more organized for the next holiday?  Check out the rest of the fabulous DT's projects to find some inspiration, if you're like me you'll need a few thank you cards for all those crafty goodies you got under the tree.  And since I was doing some last minute gift creating yesterday I have one more fun project to share. I was inspired by Christina's recent post and decorated a Starbucks mug with some fun photos from a wedding we went to earlier this year and the great Unity sentiment "Remember Happiness is a Way of Travel Not A Destination"- isn't that perfect for a travel mug?  And me, being me, I used the Play Date Cafe colors (for something a bit different then my normal CAS card).  I think this works for the Unity Challenge of gift wrapping, I wrapped the mug in fun crafty goodies...  who needs anything else?




Materials: Card: PTI Happy Trails sentiment, The Greeting Farm Tearrific, Sassafras Stitchery, Versafine black ink, Tim Holtz fired brick distress ink, Tattered Angels black mist, Smooch Spritz Cherry Ice, ribbon from Yvonne, Stampendous white embossing powder, PTI white card stock

Mug: Starbucks mug, photos, Unity Bit of Burlap, Unity Happiness sentiment, Stampin Up Kiwi Bliss card stock, Pink Paislee twine, PTI kraft card stock, black card stock, Spellbinders Label 8, Versafine black ink, Versamark, Tattered Angels mist
