Nature’s Sweetness: Make A Hot Cocoa Holder + New Card Making Class

Birthday Cards· Card Making Ideas· Fun Folds Cards· Gallery· Gifts & 3D Paper Projects· Thank You

4 Jan

Nature’s Sweetness is all around us, and Stampin’ Up! brought us the appropriately named Suite in the NEW January 2024 Mini Catalog. I made a Nature’s Sweetness card for a Mystery Stamping in December and fell in love with the suite. 

I decided to embark on a journey to familiarize myself with all the products in the Nature’s Sweetness Suite. I started out making a charming Hot Cocoa holder. Next, I had the momentum to keep the inspiration going and designed a number of handmade cards. I’ve decided to host a Free Class in January featuring distinctive cards crafted with the enchanting Nature’s Sweetness Suite. The class comes complete with a complimentary instructional video, which you can preview below, along with downloadable PDF instructions for all the showcased projects.

To obtain these instructions for free, simply place an order of $50 or more on my Stampin’ Up! Website. Alternatively, you have the option to purchase the tutorial directly from my Tutorial store.

I’m particularly delighted by how the Faux Leather seamlessly ties together, securely holding my cocoa packet. Check out the details on this project and see how easy it is to make.

Please feel free to share your thoughts about the New Nature’s Sweetness Suite. Is it on your wish list? Do you already have it ordered?

Nature’s Sweetness: Easy Hot Cocoa Holder

Make this hot cocoa extra special by tucking a piece of white cardstock inside where you’ve written a heartfelt note to the recipient—it’s sure to bring a smile to their face! 

I’ve made it a personal habit to keep a few of these holders in my purse, ready to share some sweetness with those who brighten my day. Whether it’s a chance encounter or a familiar face, this sweet gesture serves as a charming introduction to the world of paper crafting. Discovering how effortlessly these holders come together might inspire you to create and share your own. The Nature’s Sweetness suite is perfect to get you started!

This card I CASE’D from the Mini Catalog on page 49!

I confess that I initially puzzled over the card in the catalog, mistaking its texture for the embossing folder. Surprise—it’s actually tone-on-tone die-cut leaves adhered to the cardstock! Putting my own spin on it, I personalized the design with different Designer Series Paper and stamped my greeting on Basic Black, giving it an heat embossed finish.

Unique card

When I saw the pattern with a plant stamped on the Pecan Pie circle in the DSP that had several circles, I knew I wanted to try this fun technique. I cut the circle with the Stylish Shapes Dies, cut it into strips, and then added it back to the layer. Make sure you watch the video to see how I made this card!
