Little Gifts

During the holiday season, I love creating cut little treats to share. And who doesn’t love hot cocoa! Adding in a couple mini candy canes makes this one even better.

The base for this is created using the box die from the Jolly Delivery Dies. Tie a pretty ribbon bow around it and it’s done!

Then, I added a cute belly band to a packet of cocoa mix. This adorable check pattern is from the Christmas Tags & More Designer Series Paper pack. I layered circles and a label to dress it up. The Stylish Shapes Dies and Traditional Labels Dies are perfect for this! I finished it off with a couple mini candy canes from the Homemade Treats Bundle and a few Delightful Decorative Dots embellishments.

To Create This Project

Cut a box from Real Red Cardstock using the Jolly Delivery Dies
Create a belly band from Christmas Tags & More Designer Series Paper, cut 6″ x 2″
Die cut the 3rd largest circle from Garden Green Cardstock using the Stylish Shapes Dies
Punch a 1-7/8″ circle from Vellum
Die cut a label from Basic White Cardstock using the Traditional Labels Dies
Stamp and die cut (2) mini candy canes

Assemble box, leaving the top open. Tie a ribbon bow around the box. Stamp sentiment on label in Memento Black ink. Lightly blend with a bit of Real Red ink. Wrap belly band around a packet of cocoa with ends on the front. Layer vellum and Garden Green circles and adhere to belly band covering the gap on the belly band. Add sentiment label to circle. Slide packet into holder. Stamp mini candy canes from the Homemade Treats Stamp Set in Real Red ink, die cut with coordinating dies, and add label. Embellish with dots.
