It’s Hot Cocoa Season!

I’m so excited that the More than Autumn stamp set and dies are still available from Stampin’ Up! I used them to make my favorite card in 2024: Slimline Coffee Lovers Card.

I wanted to use this set to make hot cocoa cards this year, so I paired it with the Hobby Haven paper pack for a warm, hot cocoa season feel.

A collage shows step-by-step card making: Top left, a hand holds a card decorated with a hot cocoa cup, marshmallows, and the text “Nothing’s Better Than Hot Cocoa Season.” Other images show patterned paper cut into triangles and layered on cards, with crafting tools visible.

I cut the Hobby Haven paper to 4″ x 5-1/4″, then cut it on the diagonal both directions in my paper trimmer, then put the triangles on top of 4″ x 5-1/4″ pieces of plaid patterned paper from the Hobby Haven pack to create 4 different hot cocoa season cards.

A hand holds a handmade greeting card featuring illustrated mugs of hot cocoa with whipped cream and marshmallows. The card reads “NOTHING’S BETTER THAN Hot Cocoa Season” and is decorated with patterned paper, confetti dots, and festive designs in blue, green, and brown tones.
