Friends of Unity Blog Hop September 2022 ~ Joy Mug

Hello and welcome.  For today, I am sharing a winter holiday project for the Friends of Unity blog hop.  This social media hop inspiration is coffee, tea or cocoa inspired.  I hope you will join in on the fun and inspiration.  Simply comment on each stop in the hop.

Sentiment:    Joy, peace & comfort

I am a tea drinker myself, but I truly respect all caffeine lovers.  So, I envision this being a tea mug for wintertime and the holidays.

Helpful tips:

Here are helpful tips for making this joy mug card.  To begin, prepare an A2 size card base on colored cardstock.  Next, trim or die-cut a background layer from patterned paper.  Also, use a doily or die-cut a doily for the mug accent.  Then, stamp the mug and sentiment onto white cardstock with Copic friendly ink.  Next, color and fussy cut (cut out) the mug.  For added mug accent, die-cut holly leaves and berries.  I cut the leaves from leftover watercolor pieces.  Finally, adhere it all onto the card front, to finish.

Here is a closer look.
