Cup of Yum and a Blog Hop

Happy Sunday! You know that if I'm posting on a day other than a Monday it can only mean one thing...it's the 15th of the month and time for another Stamping Symphony Blog Hop!

This month we decided to focus on treat and gift card holders for those last-minute Christmas gifts. Can you believe Christmas is only ten days away?? Yikes...where has the fall gone? I designed this fun hot chocolate packet holder for an event earlier in the fall and I absolutely love it! Check it out...

I found those fun hot chocolate packets on Amazon and knew I just had to create something with the adorable Let it Snow Suite to hold it in. The card stock base measures 81/2" x 6-1/2" and I scored it at 4". Then I folded one corner of the card stock in to the score line and adhered it in place. A little Tear 'n' Tape around the edges and voila...easy pocket! The DSP layer is cut to 4" x 6-1/4" and is from the Let it Snow Specialty DSP pack.

To create the belly band, I cut a 1-1/4" x 11" piece of card stock and wrapped it around my pocket. Then I added a 1" wide strip of DSP. The heart is cut with the Stitched Be Mine dies from another pattern in the Let it Snow pack. The cup, candy cane and tag are all cut using the Cup of Cheer dies. the whipped cream is some of the Snowfall Accents Puff Paint...love that stuff! The final touch is some Real Red Curly Ribbon for a cozy accent.

These little pockets are really quick and easy to whip up and would make an awesome teacher gift...trust me...I know a few ;)
