<p>I stamped the mug and cocoa foam with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink pad using Mini MISTI and then I dried the ink with craft heater. I colored it with Altenew Artist Alcohol Markers and cut it with the matching dies.</p>



<p>I stamped the sentiment with VersaFine Clair Pinecone ink pad on the white rectangle mat that I cut put with one of the Slim Mini Wavy Layers Dies.</p>



<p>I cut out one of the Snow Much Fun papers with the Slim Mini Wavy Layers Dies and I added it on the Slimline Mini card base with permanent adhesive runner.</p>



<p>I added the white mat on top of the patterned paper, and then I added the mug and foam on the card with 3D foam tape.</p>



<p>I hope this hot cocoa slimline card sparks an idea for you to join the <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="http://coffeelovingcardmakers.com/2021/12/happy-national-cocoa-day-4/" target="_blank">Guest Designer Search</a>.</p>



<p>Thanks so much for stopping by my blog! Have a fabulous cocoa day!</p>
