If you're still working on Christmas treats, I have a great one for you today! Today I'm using two amazing dies that I have been obsessed with lately. The Branching Out Dies and the Everyday Arches Dies. Both are staples in your crafting stash! I'm using the Everyday Arches Dies to make my mug and to decorate it we'll use the Branching Out Dies. This 'mug' holds a packet of hot cocoa and a candy cane. This is such a great (and affordable!) gift for anyone!
First I made a quick box to sandwich between the two arches for the front and back of the mug. Before you add the arches make sure to trim off about 1/4" from the bottom so the mug sits flat-yes it will stand up! Also, before adding the box I die cut handles with my circle dies from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I used the two largest ones, die cut together to make a frame.
My box is gorgeously decorated using the dies from the Branching Out Dies. I die cut two pine branches in Shades Spruce and Garden Green. For my berry branches I die cut two each in Cherry Cobbler and Pecan Pie. On the Pecan Pie one I trimmed off the berries, then adhered it directly over the Cherry Cobbler Branch. It's a little finicky, you can die cut the Pecan Pie ones on an Adhesive Sheet for less glue mess. Finally, I added a gold pine cone. The entire assortment is built on a label from the Branching Out Dies. My greeting is from Snowy Delights. The ribbon I used is the Irregular Weave Ribbon. The Snowy Delights Bundle and ribbon are on the Last Chance List, if you love them get them now! I added some Streaked Dots to finish it completely. They have a gorgeous wood look to them.
