<p>My first project is a hot cocoa hello card. I cut out the patterned paper with the mug die from the <a href="http://www.thestampsoflife.com/shop/Hot-Chocolate-Dies.html">Hot Chocolate Dies</a>. Then, I also cut the foam out of watercolor paper, colored it with Arteza Real Brush Pen and watercolor brush, then I added the glitter on it with glue adhesive.</p>

<p>I added the snowflake patterned paper on the card, and added some metallic silver watercolor paint on it and dried it. Then I cut out the frame with Double Stitched Rectangles Dies and added it on the card with permanent glue on top of the card.</p>



<p>I added the mug and foam on the card with 3D foam tape. I cut out the sentiment strip with Double Stitched Banner Dies, and I stamped the sentiment from the <a href="http://www.thestampsoflife.com/shop/hotchocolate2stamp.html">hotchocolate2stamp set</a> with VersaFine Clair Pinecone ink pad.</p>

<p>My second project is the hot cocoa mug tag. I used the same stamp set and die set. I did the stamping, watercoloring, and die cutting the mug and spoon. I stamped the marshmallow on white cardstock and fussy cut them, I put them in a clear bag and tied it up with twine ribbon.</p>
