🎄Day 2: Easy Watercolour Christmas Mug Card | Shaped Christmas Card

Happy Thursday!

Welcome to Day 2 of the 12 Days of Christmas in July 2026 collaboration hosted by Monika (PaperMona), with Katarina joining in the festive fun!

Today's theme is Shaped Card, and since July is also Watercolour Month, I decided to combine both by creating a handmade Christmas mug-shaped card using watercolour techniques.

My inspiration came from a beautiful ceramic mug I bought in Bolesławiec, Poland, a town famous for its traditional hand-decorated pottery. I loved the cozy shape and classic design, so I transformed that inspiration into a festive Christmas card perfect for the holiday season.

I hope this project inspires you to mix everyday inspiration with your cardmaking and to start creating for Christmas a little early. If you enjoyed today's project, I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and come back tomorrow for Day 3 of the series!
