December Daily® 2024 | Foundation Page Idea From Ali
Tags:Here's a fun idea to document this December: What's your coffee/drink order during the holiday season?
I'll be using this as Story 09 in my 2024 December Daily® album.
Let's dive in to the video:
Here's a closer look at this foundation page:
One of the things I love to do is look through pieces from this year's collection and identify ones that can act as a jumping off point for a story. This large vellum coffee cup die cut said, "Use me to tell the story of what drink people like to order in December." Ah yeah! Let's do it!
Along the top of the cup I used the gold puffy alpha to add the word "drinks" and the number nine sticker is from the 2024 Advent Calendar.
If you missed out on the physical version of the vellum die cuts you can get the digital here.
I started by using the vellum coffee cup as a template to cut seven additional coffee cups (one for each of my family) from plain vellum. It doesn't have to be perfect! On top of each piece of plain vellum I added a gold-rimmed white circle with our initial stamped on top using a typewriter stamp set.
You could document friends or extended family members drink preferences here too!
I went ahead and added my own order on the first page (using a Staedtler Lumocolor Pen) and then will add the rest when it's time to tell story nine.
Just waiting for their drinks to be added!
I might add a photo to go along with this page (to make it a spread) or I might just leave this as a no-photo story.
After I had all the pages ready to go I ran the entire pack through my sewing machine to connect it all together. You could use brads, staples, etc if you don't have a sewing machine.
SUPPLIES
Large Vellum Pieces (digital available)

Love this idea! We get drinks at the Starbucks inside Target when shopping and this is so fun to include those drink details. One day my little's hot cocoa will turn into a latte :)

I've seen that beginning video many times over the years and this was the first time I noticed his amazing single axle...Yowza! Cute idea for the coffee cup. I'm a black coffee girl...an almond joy mocha or white chocolate mocha are only occasional.

Adorable. I grabbed the last DD main kit and I am going to do my very first DD album (8 by 10 buildable album). Watching for 17 + years. Nobody in my family is celebrating Christmas. I, as the Twinkeling Black sheep of the family, am obsessed with December + Christmas. "Creating my own MAGIC". Thank you for the inspiration Ali and the community.
