Hot chocolate gifts...

It's been rainy here all day. There's nothing I love more on a cool rainy day than curling up with a good book and a cup of hot chocolate. Well, maybe there's something I love slightly more... creating in my loft!
There's lots of patterns in Internet land for these hot chocolate packets. I wanted something quick and easy that the kids and I could make together to send out for Christmas. These fit the bill. They required few supplies, and minimal time. You could make enough for a whole classroom of children in under an hour, I'd bet!
On to day two of the 12 Days of Christmas 2016!
 Supplies used:
Christmas Wishes stamp set
Stampin' Up markers- (I used the Regals set)
Plain cardstock (Real Red and Chocolate Chip here)
Candy Cane Lane DSP
Tag Topper punch

  • Cut cardstock to 6x6. Measure three inches across one side and mark it. Do the same on the other side and draw a faint line. 
  • Mark the centre with a small dot. (You can just see the dot on the sample below). 
  • Fold three corners to the middle. 
  • Run tape where indicated.
  • Cut DSP to 4x4. Adhere to the front of the packet. 
  • Round the top envelope flap, if desired.
  • Cut white DSP to create a label. This one is 2 inches wide by 2.25 inches high. Run through Tag Topper punch. 
  • Stamp and colour as desired. 
  • Fill with a package or hot chocolate and tuck a candy cane in for good measure.

I hope you have fun creating these quick and easy gifts! They are great to tuck into a gift bag, or to give to someone to let them know you're thinking about them.

Happy crafting!

12 Crafts of Christmas day 10- twist and close box

Image
 Today's project is a fun twist (ha!) on a gift box. While it looks challenging, it's really quite simple to put together, and all you need is cardstock, patterned paper, adhesive, a ruler and stylus or scoring tool. Trim 1/2 inch from your cardstock so you're left with an 8 1/2 x 10 1/2 piece. Score on the long edge at 2 1/2, 5, 7 1/2, and 10 inches. Score the short side at 2 1/2 inches, flip, and score the other side at 2 1/2 inches.  Mark one side as shown 1 1/4 inches from each score line, and score from the mark to the bottom corner. Fold and burnish to crease.  Cut the bottom of the box as shown to the bottom score line. Discard the small tab at the bottom.  Cut your patterned paper to 4 3/4 x 2 1/4. Run adhesive along the side and connect the two edges. Apply adhesive on the bottom edges and seal the box. Working from one side, pinch the top closed, and your box is done!  Check out the video here. Check out all of our projects as the 12 days continue here...
