Digi Choosday - Hot Chocolate card - with Polkadoodles

Hello everyone and happy Wednesday... I hope that your year has got off to a great start !...did you make any New Year resolutions ?  I decided not to this year as they are always sooo difficult to stick to....I'm just planning on a healthy and happy year ahead....! 

It's that time of the week to share some more inspiration for our current 'Anything Goes' challenge over on the Polkadoodles Digi Choosday Blog so I hope you are going to join in and don't forget the amazing Digi Choosday discount off all crafty printable downloads!  

Don't Forget that our challenges our now 4 weekly so there's loads of time for you to join in and more chances to win too!

The theme set for the DT this week is  Hot Chocolate and its definitely hot chocolate time here as the Winter temperatures have really kicked in - there is so much snow too on the mountains around us - definitely magical to see.

I have seen loads of Hot Chocolate style cards lately using fancy dies and I decided I would recreate the style using digital images.  I love being able to get more out of my stash too so I'm really pleased how this came together.

I've use several different bundles to create this card and It was so easy to do.

I started off by using the mug template (its a freebie) to create two mugs and then coloured these with green distress inks, adding a couple of die cut hearts to the mugs.

For the whipped cream topping I printed out one of the cakes from the Coffee, Tea and Cake collection.  I only wanted the whipped cream and cherry so used the Cherry Cream Cupcake image and then coloured with my promarkers before fussy cutting out.

The sentiment is from the Gingerbread Cookie collection and I added this to the bottom of a muted paper from Gingerbread Holly collection before printing out, along with a piece of the check paper from the same collection.

I decided to add a little stamped border around the edge of the brown paper, stamping in Versafine Clair ink using the Funky Borders stamps set, before layering with red card and adding to my card blank.

I shaped the mugs with a round edge and then adhered to the card using 3D glue gel for dimension.

To finish the card I added some sparkly gems and clear sparkle pen to the whipped cream and cherries.  

I wish you could see the sparkle as its so pretty but photos don't do it justice.

I hope that you like my project today and you'll enjoy the next that I share from Polkadoodles.

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !
