Boo Mug Cookie Pops

Happy Halloween! Children are surely hyped up and ready for trick-or-treating tomorrow night. After today I will be finished with Halloween cards...I had to get just one more idea completed.

I am the hostess for our Just Us Girls CASE a DT Challenge #799 for the next week. You choose a card made by one of our team members and use the colors, theme, layout, element(s), or something else that catches your eye and make your own design. Be sure to tell us whose card you CASEd (Copy and Selectively Edit) and how you made it your own. I made a Halloween cup full of cookie pops. (You could use a mug for another holiday or just a pretty mug!) We love this challenge because the creativity by our players is so much fun to see.

Products I used:

• Pretty Pink Posh Winter Mug (mug, ghost, leaf)
• Papertrey Ink Pumpkin House dies (star)
• Trinity Stamps Boo Brew Die set (Jack O' Lantern face)
• Studio Katia Slider Tag die set (mini tag)
• Paper Smooches Alphadot stamp set (Boo)
• Pink Fresh Studio Diagonal Stitched Rectangles die set (diagonal stitched rectangle)
• Sugar Pea Designs Card Front Builder die set (larger stitched rectangle)
• Altenew Obsidian black ink pad
• Black twine
• Toothpicks
• Foam tape

I started my card by making the cookie pops. I took some small dies and die cut them with colored cardstock. Then I traced around each metal die on tan colored cardstock (to look like a sugar cookie) and fussy cut each shape. I layered the colored die cut onto the tan one to complete my cookies.

Next was the mug whose dies came from two different companies' die sets. The "purple juice" just seemed fun instead of the usual brown beverage.

I grabbed three toothpicks and taped and glued them to the back of the cookies to make cookie pop sticks. The mug die cuts a slit so I had a place to put the cookies pops into the mug.

There was no room for a regular sentiment so I die cut and stamped a little tag with BOO in black ink and tied it to the mug handle with twine.

I die cut a smaller white panel with diagonal stitches along the edge, then die cut an A2 stitched rectangle out of patterned paper. Last, I assembled the card front on an A2 white card base.

I hope you will join us this week by CASEing a team member's card. Don't forget to tell us the "who" and the "what" about your resulting card!

See you in the gallery!
