Here is a little Christmas gift for you to make and it's cheap...... but darling. I used a 1/2 sheet of Chocolate Chip cardstock. Fold the cardstock in half and then on the front, score it diagonally and fold toward the inside. Punch 2 circle holes on the side to hold the ribbon. Apply sticky strip to the bottom and add the ribbon to close the pouch. I used the Sweater Trim from Stampin' Up in Cherry Cobbler as my ribbon. Don't you just love the names of the colors? The Sweater Trim comes in Gumball Green, Cherry Cobbler and Whisper White. It is stretchy and so cute. You can even dress up your packages that you give for Christmas.
I added a bit of Be of Good Cheer designer paper across the front. I punched a 2 1/2" circle in Crumb Cake and adhered it with dimensionals. I inked up the cup in Gumball Green and removed the drink portion in the cup with a blender pen. I colored the drink with my Soft Suede marker, huffed it and then stamped it on Very Vanilla. I stamped the candy cane in Cherry Cobbler and the steam in Basic Gray. I cut those out using the Holiday Collection framelits. I cut a slit in the middle of the hot chocolate in the cup so I could insert the steam and the candy cane. I adhered them to the card with dimensionals. You know me, I had to add some glitz so I put a rhinestone in the middle of the snowflake on the cup. I added a package of hot chocolate to the pouch. Woo Hoo I have a easy gift. How do you like it?
I would love for you to stamp with me. If you don't know how to stamp, I will be happy to teach you. I can also make kits for you to put the projects together yourself. Just contact me for more information. Have a beautiful weekend. Blessings, Martha
