Snow Place

Well…we have finished up the Christmas card challenges we had for the design team and now we are one to other fun Christmas ‘stuff’!  This week the challenge for our team is to make a Christmas Favor or Treat!

On of my favorite ‘treats’ to give someone this time of year is hot coco (with a peppermint Ghirardelli chocolate square.  Of course an added candy cane is good too!  So I was trying to figure out something EASY to do (we just finished up our last week of school and next week is finals week…need EASY!!) and I noticed that these fun little bags look like they have snowballs on it so … yep … EASY!  Oh and this EASILY holds 2 hot chocolate packets and 2 Ghirardelli peppermint squares.

Here’s the details…

• Add the hot chocolate and peppermint chocolate squares to the bag, fold over the top and punch 2 holes using the 1/2″ circle punch, slide peppermint stick through holes.
• Red Foil – 2 3/4 x 5, use largest Lots of Labels framelit to cut off end
• Holly Print – Season of Cheer dsp – 2 3/8 x 4 1/2, use second to largest Lots of Labels framelit to cut off end, lay on top of Red Foil label and add to bag by sliding under flap.
• Add large Gold Foil Doily using dimensionals
• Stamp penguin using Basic Black Archival, add bow tie in Mossy Meadow, stamp Santa hat and candy cane using Real Red, ink holly using Mossy Meadow and Real Red markers, cut all out using framelits, layer together and add using dimensionals

It would be sooooo easy to make up a bunch of these as quick last minute gifts to have on hand!
