For my project I chose to create the coffee mug gift package.  Isn't it the cutest thing ever?!  I started by following the directions in the lastest Technique Junkie Newsletter.  The directions were so easy to follow and assembling the mug was super easy!  Full color photos and step-by-step instructions are included for every project.

I used Winter Wishes design paper from Echo Park (love that purple) on both the mug and the card and the Snowflake Flourish stamp set from Sweet 'n Sassy. 
To create the center piece on the mug, I broke out the brand new Mini Snowflake Rosette die from Tim.  I first swiped Milled Lavendar across my cardstock and then stamped the snowflake in Seedless Preserves.  Once my snowflake was cut out, I assembled it and added it to the front of the mug.  Cute, right?
