 Hi everybody it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft, thank you for watching my tutorial today. I'm really excited to share my updated version of the teacup and saucer so about, oh gosh I think it was, well it must have been around Mother's Day actually. I done the teacup and the gift box or the display box for it and you've really enjoyed it. So many of you still now send me pictures and already you've started to share Christmas versions of it over on Mixed Up Crafters and I've already had this on my list to do and I wanted to do a hot chocolate mug in a display box. This has turned out better than I thought and my little, I should show my little sketch actually, I don't know where I put it but yeah I just love how it's all come together. Now there's a few differences with this obviously you can see that we've got a mug instead of a teacup and then this is much taller and slightly thinner and this one is on a hinge. Okay now this is going to be in two parts so I'm going to show you the mug today and then tomorrow I'm going to show you the display box okay and also I still don't need to do it and I'll do that ready for the next tutorial but I want to have a nice sentiment on here like surprise or enjoy your treats or something like that. But just to give you an idea I have stuck this down there because I just thought, I think this is a lovely gift for you know anybody but if you've got another crafty friend this will look so lovely just in their craft room afterwards. I just think it's a really nice piece so I have put in here this will be a real candy cane, this is just a plastic one. Then I've just put some hot chocolate sachets, some marshmallow, some chocolates. I just think it looked really really nice it's just a nice little gift and you could put a nice little piece of jewelry in there as well I just think it's lovely. I am again I always say if you're proud of something then don't be afraid to show it and I am I'm really proud of this one. On the top here a lot of you recognize this this is the deconstructed bow that I like to make so this is the same as the big bow topper but this is just very very small so I've just cut all those pieces much smaller. If you want to see how you make the big one check out this one here and just reduce your sizes and you'll get a smaller one. Yeah I just think it looks really nice and I've used it's like a glitter ribbon that's it's almost like a little bit flat it's like coated I think that's what it is but it's um it really keeps its kind of 3d form so yeah I love that and I've used the same on the bow inside there. So let me show you how to make the mug first and then like I said tomorrow will be the display box. Okay so this is the paper pad I'm using it's the 8 by 8 first edition believe it in magic it's really cute you've got the little penguins you've got the robin you've got the polar bears and then all those lovely pattern papers and lots of them have got texture as well especially that sparkle one it's really really nice you can just kind of see it there because they show the same texture on the front cover here so this cover's got loads of texture. Again all the links will be shared below so I'm going to do the same pattern paper for the mug I really like that one and you can see the one on the back there as well because I'm going to fold it over I don't know how well that picked up on camera but you can just see there where it folds over again don't have to do that but um I just thought it looked quite nice so I'm going to get straight into the scoring and the measurements so this is a piece of seven and three quarters by five inches okay if it's directional paper you want to make sure it's facing up the right way and you want to score it one and a quarter two and a half three and three quarters five inches six and a quarter and seven and a half okay then rotate it onto the short side and you want to score it one inch and at four and a half okay and that I'm just checking oh yeah then you need to do another little bit here this is for the box that becomes the kind of the stand I guess or part of the mug so this is a piece of four and a quarter by three inches along the four and a quarter side you want to score it one inch two inches three inches and four and then along the three inch side you want to score it one and two inches so it's just a one inch cube that we're going to make okay so first of all with the mug if you fold that top smaller score lines you'll have that one where we scored at one inch that one you just want to fold and burnish under but the top one you want to bring over the other way I know we didn't fold it we didn't score it correctly but it should be okay if you just carefully fold it over if you're worried that you might get some cracking take it put it back on your scoreboard and score it on the other side again okay so I'm just gonna burnish that one burnish that one I mean you may want to have yours a bit taller or you may want to stick some white card over the top of that one I may do that you might try a bit differently we'll see anyway I do like that one and then just open it back up again and then all of these score lines here just fold and burnish each one because that's going to create the shape of our mug okay so you'll have this tiny quarter inch tab on the right hand side you'll have all those kind of square shapes along the bottom you want to cut up each one just to that first score line just cut straight up and then this last little one you'll have this tiny piece here just remove that completely and then you'll have another tiny piece at the top in there just take that out so you're just left with that tab like this let's just take a little bit off there and I've taken it off on a little just a slight angle not too much ever so slightly okay because that is going to fold down and still be seen what will happen is that's all going to wrap around and that tab is going to stick it together and then those pieces that you folded over should join up nicely all of these are just going to fold in on themselves and then we'll be sticking that all together when we add this base here and the handle before we stick it together we'll do the handle now actually so I have got just a piece of matching card stock from the pack and I've got here is a two and a half inch scalloped punch and I'm just going to punch a circle out there and then using my circle dies here because I don't have a circle punch that was it's almost like I need a one and a half let me show that was it it's one and five eighths the one and a half it was just it this is a scalloped one I need to get a one and a half straight punch but you want to you want a die yeah it's this one here a circle die that's about one and five eighths diameter and I'm going to die cut that in the middle okay because I just want the outer ring and then I'm going to cut it in half and that's going to kind of give you your handle so I'm just going to quickly get that one die cut okay so just run that one through so you want something that looks like that it doesn't have to be a scallop so don't worry if you don't but you want your ring to be if I take into account the scallop bit there it's just under half an inch okay you'll see again there that's what I'm trying to achieve all right then you want to best use a scoreboard you score a seven eighths of an inch I just want to make sure I get this right so just score a seven eighths of an inch keep the stylus in its track so you continue down to the bottom piece there okay and then snip away that piece okay so you don't want the smaller piece you want the large piece pop it back in your scoreboard and then score again at a quarter of an inch again keep that nice and flush there like so and then just fold those pieces like so and they're going to be our little tabs which we are going to stick inside this tab so it will become a little handle all right so you want to just get something that's roughly like that size that I've just showed you so two and a half outer ring with a one and five eighth ish inner ring and then just cut and score like I did there okay so I'm just adding some glue to the backs of the tabs there and on the side so there's my quarter inch tab here on the other end just stick it inside like so if you just go to pretend to close it just so you're happy with the positioning of your handle you want it I guess kind of just under that folded piece so there's the folded piece there it's just coming under that a little bit just make sure if you fold it right over then you know that you've got it right you know on that end there okay and now with this piece here you can add glue all along that one and then just close the whole thing up you can lie it flat because it's all equal sides like so and that way you know that you're going to get it all in fact I would say do that because that way you know it's all going to come together properly so just spend a few minutes just making sure that glue sticks properly okay so I'm just going to leave that like that for the minute now I'm going to move onto this because we'll stick all that down because we need this to be ready so you just want to fold and burnish all the score lines on this piece okay and then with the tab on the right hand side you want to cut down all of the score lines to that first score line okay like so and then this last little piece just cut away cut a little wedge there just like we did for this piece and turn the whole thing around we'll flip it so now the tabs on the left hand side cut down that little one first and again a little wedge just so now you've got that tab and then cut down every one again like so okay because this is going to be a cube so we're going to close in everything so on this little piece here you just want to pop the glue fold the whole thing in half so you've got two squares on this side two on this side in the tab and just stick that all down okay and then all the pieces now you can just fold in and I'm just going to add some glue onto the top fold one add some glue fold another add some glue fold that one and then just pop your finger inside there just to make sure it's all stuck down and then again on this side you don't want to push this one in too much because you that's it we've got nothing to be able to you know you can't get your finger in there once this is closed so try not to let it kind of cave in on itself just do the same thing like oh don't put glue well it doesn't matter because we're going to be gluing this all down if you've got anything overhanging I wouldn't worry about it to be honest because you're probably not going to see it but if it's yeah I would say see I've got a piece overhanging just here then I can trim that but I'd stick that to the base of the mug rather than the base of the base because you might see it okay so but you can trim that off so it doesn't like I said it doesn't really matter like so but you just want this little cube all right okay so now back to the mug what you want to do now usually whenever we work with shapes like this we work with opposites together so like I would stick the two opposites together but they won't quite meet it's not going to matter what you want to do is just pop a little bit of glue on the kind of corners and just fold in them like so like I said don't you know worry too much for the minute it will all kind of make it shape all right and then put some glue around all of that kind of inner area center area and then I've just die cut this one and I'm just going to stick that over the top I've got my finger in my handle there okay and now you just want to kind of start to shape it and what I would say is line up one of your straight sides here with your mats okay so for example there and then make sure the other top one this one here is straight and if they're both straight every all the other sides will fall in together so yeah just spend a few minutes just making sure that your top and bottom whatever side you choose the top and the bottom are perfectly straight and then the other two sides will all take their shape it's the same as my rocket box that I done okay I just stuck the top and the bottom side and then the other two sides you know or four sides they all kind of found their shape and the worst case is that it might go a little bit more squashed but look if I push that in see it creates the shape that we want or if you kind of go like that it creates a more squash look but that when you look at it straight on which is how we look in the box it's it's okay anyway but I do want to try and keep it more hexagon like that okay I'm not going to put one inside you can do if you actually I will do I guess it just helps so we'll just drop that one in there okay and now we've got our little mug it's so cute next I'm going to use my hot glue now and I want to attach this cube to the bottom here so I'm just going to line it up with this front one okay and just make sure it's in the kind of the center of that one there in the back there and then it should lie in the center of the points there okay so just spend a minute make sure that all sticks down okay then I've got these circles here for the base so I've got a three inch piece of three inch diameter circle in 300 gsm cardstock the same in some thumb foam and the same in pattern paper and I'm going to stick those three together if you don't have thumb foam just cut a few more in this here and it just I just think it looks quite nice if I bring that up there you have the dimension just gives it more of a mug look and then this one here is two and a half yeah piece of foam and the cardstock but I just need to get my pattern paper to go on top but you just want to stick them all together so I'm going to go and get my pattern piece done for the other one and stick all these down okay so I've just stuck the smaller one on top of that one it looks at the top of a jam jar okay I haven't didn't have the same bluey color but when I sit that on there actually looks really sweet so I'm not too worried then I just want to add a bow onto this while I've got it still kind of unattached I'm also just going to add a little bit of glue just under the ends here just so that they stay down okay now I want to decide I think I'm going to go yeah silver bow on this one so this is this um I picked it up from B&M quite a while ago and I had a pack of I've got another might have been a pack of seven or eight I've got quite a few of them but the the turquoise one there that is a gorgeous color it really is and um but the thing I love about them is they really keep their shape because they're kind of in between paper and I just think they're a coated paper anyway I'm going to cut a little bow this one okay and then I'm just get that glitter off there so I don't want it to interfere with the glue I'm just going to pop some more hot glue in the center there and then stick this in the center of the base and there you've got your Christmas mug I think it looks so cute so that's it for today that's all I wanted to show you in this tutorial because not everybody will want to make the display box so I thought if I keep the two videos separate then it's easy for someone to just you know go to them that way and also you may just want to make the box on its own there's lots of people that might want to put something different in there so yeah tune in tomorrow for the gift box to display this again I'll just bring it in here so you can see the final result I think it looks so nice and I like that it's stuck in there because that person can hold and lift it like this and nothing's going to fall out and I may well once I've you know put the proper stuff in there probably put it in a little cello bag or something with a little you know tie at the top so again nothing really does fall out but yeah they're super cute there's this one again so I hope you've enjoyed it please give me a thumbs up if you have and hopefully you'll be back again tomorrow to see how I make the box thanks for watching bye
