Pastel Christmas Joy - Mug Merry and Bright

Hi Friends and Happy Sunday!  Wow, it's the 14th of the month and we only have 11 more sleeps till Christmas Day!  Today I'm sharing another Christmas Joy Mug from Angie Blom.  This one just needed to be in Pastel Colors and I think it works.

I've colored the image using Copic Alcohol Markers and the patterned papers are from the Merry Patterned Collection paper pad by Scrapbook.com.  I've cut 2 panels for the focal image, one a postage die and the other a stitched nesting die.

I've popped the panel on foam pads and added pink gems to complete the card.  The sentiment is included in this digital set.  I'm imagining this holiday cup is filled with Hot Cocoa, marshmallows and whipped cream.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Paper Funday Challenge - November 2025: Merry and Bright

Hello and Happy Wednesday!  Today begins a new challenge month at The Paper Funday Challenge Blog, where the challenges are Always Anything Goes with Optional Twists.  The Twist this month is Merry and Bright and our generous sponsors are Altenew and Picket Fence Studios.  

For my team project, I've used the twist and the festive Trimming the Tree Stamp and Coordinating Die Set from Picket Fence Studios, which was a Stamptember Collab with Simon Says Stamp.  

The patterned papers are from a 6x6 Christmas pad purchased at Hobby Lobby, the circles where cut with dies from Pink Fresh Studio and the white circle was embossed with a Snowflake embossing folder from Darice.

The little girl and her Reindeer, who I made into Rudolph by adding a red gem to his nose, are popped on foam pads along with the gift packages and sentiment.  Lastly, I've added Crystal Stickles to her Hat and Scarf.  The Images were colored using Copic Alcohol Markers.

Please stop by the challenge this month and play along.  This is the last challenge of 2025, as the team is taking a holiday break in December and will resume with the January 2026 challenge.  So until next time, Happy Crafting!
