Welcome to our Alaska Trip Achievers Blog Hop for November 2017 and thank you for joining.  I’m excited to be participating.  Those hopping today are Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from all around the world that have achieved the prestigious Stampin’ Up! incentive trip that only a limited number around the world achieve.  


We will be hopping together once a month to show you ideas and designs using current Stampin’ Up! products. I live in the United States and would love to help you if you have any questions.  

I chose to showcase a cute project that I showcased at my craft shows this year.  These adorable mugs were a BIG hit and perfect for any of your gift giving needs.  Sometimes we want something small for coworkers, teachers or friends and these are PERFECT for that.  

 Here is a picture of the hot chocolate mug that I made.  Of course it includes all the contents to make hot chocolate but you will need to use a real mug 🙂  

The stampset that I focused on to make this mug is the “Hug in a Mug” stampset that is in our holiday catalog.  It’s actually hidden in there!  I didn’t see in the first couple of times I looked at the catalog. 

Here are some close up pictures of the mug.  It will definitely be a conversation piece and something that you will want to make for those special people in your life.  It looks hard, but it really isn’t, I promise!  My video provides very detailed instructions.  You will need the envelope punch board though to make this, so make sure you order one ASAP if you don’t already have one in your collection.

You may just be starting the blog hop here at my blog, Kim Vogel, or you may have come from the person previous to me on the list. If you get off track at any time, the full line-up below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all the projects.  At the moment you are visiting Kim Vogel.
