Hi Everyone!  Kathy here today with one of the cutest projects!  Lori has a bundle of 3D Hot Cocoa Mugs that are the perfect little holder for something sweet! They would make a great addition to a teacher or coach gift!  I made the new 3D Hot Cocoa Mug (SVG, Silhouette) take a peek…

And lift up the cocoa lid to find a sweet treat!

These little mugs are super easy to assemble, I put together some quick instructions below…

Start by cutting the pieces of the file (see above).  Lori always colorizes her files, which helps when making paper choices!  I pre-assembled the snowman face and hat pieces.  When you open the file in your cutting software, the pieces are grouped together as they go on the final project, so assembly is easy!

 

To assemble the mug, start by folding all the score lines on the main mug piece in the same direction.  Fold up the side panels, and glue together using the tabs.  Continue until the mug is formed.

Glue the 2 handle pieces together.  Do not add glue to the tabs on either end.

Fold the tabs of the handle out and glue to the side of the mug along one of the seams.

Next add the snowman face to the front of the mug.  Its easiest to start from the top and work your way to the bottom, lining up the sections.  The file comes with some holly for the hat, I swapped it out for some shaped sprinkles I had in my stash.

Add the small pieces to the adjacent panels to complete the snowman hat, head and scarf.

Fold the score lines of the saucer piece all in the same direction.  Join the 2 ends together using the tab.

To finish the saucer, add the hexagon piece in the center.

To make the whipped cream (I added stickles to mine for shine)  fold all the sides inward.  Over lap all of the side pieces so each side is over one side and under another.  The part that goes “over” is the larger end.

Once they are all folded like above, push down in the center and they will hold their shape like whipped cream

Glue the whipped cream to the center of the cocoa piece.  Insert the cocoa piece into the mug as a cover.

See?? Super easy.  You’ll have service for 12 before you know it!  That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

And check out these amazing projects by Michelle!

Hi there paper crafting friends!  It’s Michelle Starcher, aka the Bookish Designer, popping in on the blog to share some of the projects I have been working on for Christmas gift giving. There have been so many news stories about shipping delays and empty shelves in stores, I know a lot of us are looking at giving gift cards and cash for Christmas this year.  If you are looking for a way to add a personal touch to these gifts, Lori has the solution.  There are so many different options available in the shop when you are giving the gift of cash or a gift card.  Today I am sharing two that I made- one that holds a gift card and another that holds the gift of money.

When you aren’t sure what to give your niece or nephew for the holidays, I am pretty sure you will never go wrong with the gift of cash.  The Money Roll Gift Bag (SVG, Silhouette) is a great option to use if you want to give the gift of money in a creative way.  After all,  it’s all in the packaging! Tape some bills together and roll them up. Insert them into the box and stick one end of the roll out of the slit. Then, apply the tab to the exposed end of the “money roll.” There is a tutorial showing how easy it is to assemble here.

If you are looking for a fun, interactive way to present a gift card, I suggest the Pop Up Drawer (SVG, Silhouette).  For my project, I converted the Birthday Penguin file and used leftover stickers, papers, and journal cards from an older Christmas collection.  This interactive box features a drawer that when opened automatically “pops up” the card on top! This file is versatile you can give a small gift or candy in this box or use the included gift card holder to house a gift card, like I did.  Here is an easy tutorial.

If you are running out of time or just can’t find the perfect gift, you’re not alone.  Thankfully, Lori has so many amazing options in the shop that we can give the gift of cash or a gift card without feeling guilty about not giving a more personalized gift.  Let me know your favorite file in the comments below.

Until next time,

Michelle
