I just love when you can get more than one card occasion from a seasonal stamp set. And the stamp and die set Cup of Christmas lends itself to that. Since we all know coffee and tea lovers, this is a great set to add to your collection. But hurry because this is retiring at the end of the year!
Christmas Card
I used this set in my last card class to make a Christmas card. It turned out really cute. The candy cane and the greenery that come with the set add just the right amount of pop and color to the card. Give this to a coffee or tea lover with their favorite brew. Hot chocolate would work too.
While I was playing with that card, I started to think of other ways to use it. Using the same simple layout, I came up with the following ideas.
Cheer Someone Up Card
The saying “cup of cheer” that comes with the set doesn’t have to be Christmas. You can send someone cheer anytime of year! So I put a few flowers in it and have a card to send to cheer someone up.
Wedding Card
Do you have a couple getting married that are coffee or tea lovers. Make them a mug wedding card! I just was at a wedding where they gave out tea samples to all the guests. If I would have know they were tea lovers, I would have given them this card!
Birthday Card
How about those masculine birthday cards we struggle with. A couple mugs in masculine colors solves that problem!
Valentine/Love You Card
And for those of us who are getting a head start on those Valentine cards or if you just want to let someone know you love them, this one fits the bill!
Card Layout
If you noticed, the layout is basically the same for each card. The base is an A2 (4 1/4 x 5 1/2) with a piece of Designer Series Paper cut to 4 1/2 x 3 1/4. The options are endless for this set. I hope you will add it to your collection before it is gone! Don’t forget to share your designs over on my Facebook Page or in the comments.
