Welcome back to the 12 Days of Stitchmas Advent Calendar by Spellbinders. Day 5 reveals a cozy cocoa mug with mix-and-match details – foam, drips, marshmallows, and a little stir stick. Unlike Days 1–4, I did add stitching here: a small tree motif on the mug that gives just enough texture without overwhelming the design.

CARD DETAILS
Here’s a look at my Day 5 card. I paired it with the die cut steam created using the July 2025 Large Die of the Month and “Sending You Cozy Hugs” sentiment using the July 2025 Stamp of the Month.
Day 5’s cocoa mug is quick to assemble and easy to personalize. A touch of stitching on the trees brings it to life, and the steam + foliage combo turns it into a complete winter vignette. I’ll be back with Day 6 next.

Yana, I’ve been watching your Stitchmas series and want to thank you for showing us how great these die cuts look even without stitching. I look forward to doing a lot of stitching but often run short on time. It’s nice to know I can make great cards without ever touching needle and thread. Makes the dies more versatile, too. Thank you!
