Pretty Pink Posh - Gingerbread Mugs

Hello there,

I'm very happy to be back with this Gingerbread Mugs card I had a blast working on! Those Gingerbread Mugs from the Pretty Pink Posh September 2025 release are so stinking cute, I just love them!

I started off by cutting a large Eyelet Rectangle panel out of light kraft cardstock and went for quite a simple background using the Circle Grid stencil along with candied apple oxide ink and white pigment ink, applying each color every other time to get this nice red and white grid. I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and added white splatters all over my panel, I did the same with lumberjack plaid oxide ink for red splatters, and then the same again with liquid stardust for sparkles. When it was dry, I attached my panel to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches white panel using foam tape, and finally to a white card base.

Next I cut two Gingerbread Mugs out of dark kraft cardstock. I applied gathered twigs distress ink to both of them, just on the edges to make them less flat, I mixed that same ink with water and added brown splatters on my mugs and then did the same with white ink.

I cut all the decorative bits and pieces out of colored cardstock, white cardstock and pattern paper, and here is a detailed list of the die sets I used: • Gingerbread Mugs - whipped cream, candy canes, marshmallows, buttons • Christmas Bucket Additions - snowflakes, peppermint candies, gift, gummies • Christmas Cake Pops - bows • Valentine Holder Additions - heart cheeks.

To the white pieces I added liquid stardust splatters, to the pattern paper pieces I added white splatters, and to the colored cardstock pieces I applied matching distress ink to the edges, added white splatters and matching distress ink splatters. And to some of them, such as the candy canes, marshmallows and candies, I added liquid stardust splatters.

I wanted to tone down my red and white Circle Grid background a little bit, so I cut a large Eyelet Circle panel out of vellum, and attached that circle to my card using liquid glue. Next I assembled and attached everything to my card, starting with the Gingerbread Mugs using 1mm foam squares and then all the bits and pieces using liquid glue and foam squares. When it was done, I gave each of my Gingerbread Mugs a pair of wiggly eyes, I picked peppermint confetti from the Holiday Gingerbread Mix and attached one in the center of the snowflake and one in the middle of each peppermint candy. I also applied opaque white grit paste at some places for a nice and cool frosty look, and finally I worked on my sentiment. I white heat embossed "Sending joy & cheer" from Christmas Banner Greetings on light pink cardstock, cut it into a wavy banner using a Banner Greeting 1 die, and finally stuck that banner at the bottom of my card using foam squares.
