Swiss Miss Cocoa Packs

Here are some of the Swiss Miss Cocoa Packets I made up for some of those last minute gifts.  Simply slide a gift card inside the flap where the candy canes are and you're done!

These are so simple to make.  On the front of the Kraft Tag a  Bag Gift Bags, stamp your greeting.  For this one I used Merry Christmas from Star of Light (Holiday Mini).

Fold the bottom of the bag up 2 1/2" from the bottom.  Using Tombo Liquid Glue (I think this holds the best), place a line of glue ONLY on the sides, leaving the top open so you can put the gift card and candy canes inside.

The base of Chocolate Chip or Early Espresso is 4 1/2" x 2 3/8".  The strips of Candy Cane Lane are 2- at 4 3/8" x 1/2" and 1 of 4 3/8" x 1"

Wrap some 5/8" Organza Ribbon around the center.  You can either wrap it around the whole thing so you can see it on the back or you can just wrap it around the flap before adhering to the top of the bag.

So easy!  Keep in mind, all you have to do is change the colors and papers with the seasons.  This will look great with Valentine paper in February (pretty papers available starting January 4th in the Occasions Mini).

If you don't have a Demonstrator, please let me know and I'll be happy to send you the upcoming Occasions and Sale-a-Bration catalogs.

Happy Thursday!

Holiday Extravaganza with Lorri

So, Saturday, Linda and I attended Lorri Heiling's Holiday Extravaganza and it was amazing fun.  The time just flew by though and before you knew it it was nearly over!  For the next few days I'll be posting pictures of what we made.  One of them I'll be holding back on because I think we'll do it at our next workshop this coming weekend.

This cocoa packet card was so quick and simple and really came out cute using the Oval Scallop Punch and a 1/16" punch on each scallop to make it look like a lacy coaster.

After I left the Extravaganza, I headed to my 35th High School Reunion - Phoenix Christian High School. Here's a picture during the group photo shoot.  One of our grads married a great guy who always does our pictures.  I can't wait to see the ones the took.

Thanks for peeking in!  Happy Stamping!
