Cup of Cocoa Cheer

Who doesn’t love a cup of hot cocoa when the weather’s cold? Today’s project is a quick gift idea for anyone who needs warming up. It was also one of our December Stamp Club projects.

We began by randomly stamping the cups from the Cup of Cheer stamp set in Crumb Cake on a Kraft Tag a Bag Gift Bag. We then stamped the snowflakes from the Project Life Hello December 2015 stamp set in Real Red between the cups. This is one of my favorite snowflake stamps. It’s so delicate.

We stamped the same cup image in Chocolate Chip and the same snowflakes in Real Red on a 2″ strip of Very Vanilla card stock. Then we used the Banner Trip Punch to notch the end. We cut a 1″ strip of Chocolate Chip card stock and notched the end of it as well. We glued the two banners together, overlapping.

After putting a packet of hot cocoa mix inside the bag, we folded over the top, tucked in the tops of the banners, and stapled it shut. You can also adhere the banners to the bag, if you’d like to have more than just the staple holding them on.

We tied a length of Real Red 1/8″ Striped Ribbon around the bag and tied on a candy cane. I found these hot cocoa flavored candy canes at Target.

Here’s what we used:

Thanks for stopping by today, and Sweet Stamping!
