This project could easily be incorporated into a Valentine or given to someone ‘just because’. The mug can easily be filled with candy or other small sized gifts. When created the mug is 5 inches tall and 4 1/2 inches in diameter. This 3D project was cut out using my Silhouette Cameo machine and all cut pieces are shown below.
Starting with the mug’s saucer the pieces were cut using Curious Metallic Card Stock Poison Ivory It’s an open circle and you attach the ends to create a saucer with an upturned edge. To give the saucer a little detail I used Discount Cardstock Canvas Habanero and Stardream Metallic Card Stock in Rose Quartz for edging. I found that using a fine tipped liquid glue worked the best for attaching the saucer edge detail. For securing the saucer piece together and for the base I used double sided tape to be sure it was completely secure.
For the coffee, which fits into the mug and creates the top of the box, I used Discount Card Stock Ginger Snap and for the top heart embellishment I used Discount Cardstock Canvas Habanero. The steam was made using Curious Metallic Card Stock Poison Ivory. Following the fold lines I used a liquid glue for the coffee base. Using the extra coffee top piece that has seams I put the heart and the steam in and then glued that to the base coffee top.
Creating the actual cup wasn’t hard and I loved how it looked when made with Curious Metallic Card Stock Poison Ivory. You just crease the fold lines and add an adhesive to hold the side seams together. Again, I went for double sided tape for a quick and easy hold. I did use liquid glue to secure the bottom of the cup on.
The handle cut outs looked odd, but they worked fine. You actually need to connect the top portion of the handles together which I did with double sided tape. Then the one handle slipped into the pre cut tabs on the cup.
When the project was completed it was very sturdy thanks to the quality of CutCardStock’s cardstock. I plan to make more of these and fill them with candies to give to co-workers. Everyone likes a little coffee and chocolate surprise!
What I wouldn't give for a piece of my mom's homemade cherry pie! I know she would have loved this card and probably would have left it sitting on a kitchen counter.
The cherry jar is from Jaded Blossom's stamp sets 'Clear Jar' and 'Fruit Add Ons'. I also used the coordinating jar die which made it super simple to make the layers I wanted to add for dimension.
The apron is a die set from Crafter's Companion and the paper is from a 12x12 paper pad - Premium Cardstock Mix and Measure.
The cherries were colored using Copic Markers: RV55, R05, R27, YG06, YG09.
Do you know of anyone that is a kitchen queen that this should be sent to?

My card was created using the digi image Stars and Back. Deciding that I wanted a different look I fussy cut it out and created a cardstock background. The image was colored using Copic Markers.
