Christmas Cocoa Gift Card Holder

I’m no stranger to cocoa-inspired crafts. Last year, I made THIS ensemble and it was a hit! And then there was THIS easy project where cocoa was the star of the show.

I can’t let this holiday season go by without tempting you with another cocoa-themed project – and it’s a cutie. This mug of cocoa features an adorable die from Papertrey Ink that I just had to have. With a few creative additions to this shape, I was able to create a holiday themed mug of cocoa that you’ll be hard pressed to give away. Luckily, you can make a bunch of these and save one for yourself.

Here’s the rundown of materials you’ll need to assemble this project:

  1. The Papertrey Ink Cuppa Love shape cut from white cardstock with the handle and bottom portions trimmed off. You’ll them want to emboss this altered shape with a polka dot embossing folder.
  2. Baker’s twine – remember you can snag full spools of twine from Baker’s Stock for 50% using the code TWINE50
  3. Glitter glue – you know I love my Martha Stewart Glitter Glue and the Iridescent Collection is perfect for this project
  4. A tape runner
  5. Die cut tag shape from Papertrey Ink Cuppa Love
  6. Papertrey Ink Cloud die shapes cut from white cardstock
  7. Two Papertrey Ink Cuppa Love  cut from white cardstock
  8. Candy cane and peppermint images cut and stamped from white cardstock using the Papertrey Ink Candy Cane Christmas stamp set and coordinating die set
  9. Medium Scalloped Border die cut from glitter cardstock. If you don’t have glitter cardstock, you can easily make your own by following THIS tutorial.

  1. Adhere the embossed die cut to the mug die cut
  2. Adhere the scalloped borders to the top and bottom as shown and trim to fit
  3. Adhere the cloud dies as shown to mimic the look of whipped cream
  4. Adhere the candy cane and peppermint shapes
  5. Tie on the tag with twine then use glitter glue to add sprinkles to the cloud shapes
  6. Adhere the second mug die cut to the back of the first. Adhere all edges except for the top edge. This will create a pocket where you can insert a gift card.

    DoFollow Backlinks
    High-quality DoFollow links.

    DoFollow links transfer link juice from the referring website, and all links are checked thoroughly for the absence of NoFollow tags.

    You will receive a work report in a plain text format with the URLs of websites with your link published.

    It is preferable to place links within content with relevant anchor text; I have prepared alternative methods — listed underneath:

    First option — develop a custom article
    Option 2 — an article is dynamically rewritten to ensure uniqueness, because crawlers prefer content diversity.

    The recommended anchor/non-anchor link ratio is 30/70%.

    One thing I would like to say is that often before acquiring more laptop memory, consider the machine into which it could be installed. If your machine is running Windows XP, for instance, the memory limit is 3.25GB. Installing in excess of this would easily constitute some sort of waste. Make sure one’s mother board can handle the upgrade volume, as well. Interesting blog post.

    Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point. You definitely know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to your site when you could be giving us something informative to read?

    Backlinks for SEO are divided into anchor links and their non-anchor counterparts.

    Anchor links are linked to a key query, since the key query plays a crucial role in search engine optimization.

    Non-anchor backlinks are just as important – they represent plain URLs, while clickability plays a key role because they offer access to search engine crawlers; search engines access the site along with internal pages, that helps your project.

    Updates are shared through tools like Majestic, SEMrush, and Ahrefs. When the number of links is limited on a particular platform, the analysis focuses on the tool with a larger number of backlinks as a result of indexing lag.

    SEO backlinks for SEO are divided into two main types: anchor and non-anchor backlinks.

    Anchors contain the main keyword, because the key query is fundamental for SEO performance.

    Non-anchor links are just as important – they represent plain URLs, while clickability plays a key role as it creates a path to search engine crawlers; crawlers navigate your website along with internal pages, that helps your project.

    I provide majestic. In cases where backlink counts are lower for one of the services, updates are provided on the platform that shows more in backlink volume due to indexing delays.

    The other day, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iPad and tested to see if it can survive a thirty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!

    At this time it looks like BlogEngine is the top blogging platform available right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you are using on your blog?

    Inbound links for SEO include anchor links and their non-anchor counterparts.

    Anchors contain the main keyword, because this keyword is essential in search engine optimization.

    Non-anchor backlinks are equally significant – this includes bare links, while clickability is important because they offer access for search robots; bots go the target page along with internal pages, which benefits the site.

    Updates are shared through semrush. In cases where backlink counts are lower on a particular platform, updates are provided on the service with the highest count of inbound links as a result of indexing lag.

    I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was wondering what all is required to get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very internet smart so I’m not 100 sure. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks

    Hey there! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website? I’m getting tired of WordPress because I’ve had issues with hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform. I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
