Elf Cocoa

This week we are sharing Housewarming Gifts at Sassy Diva's!  This is Lori from ScrappinMyStressAway here with a cute little gift.  I made Cocoa Packets.

I was inspired by my Santa's Village Imagine cartridge.  I cut out some Elf Cocoa labels at 3 inches.  I also cut some scallop shapes.  I found the image on the Imagine (one of the pre-loaded shapes) and filled it with the red polka dot paper design at 3.5 inches.

I cut out the crayon box at Tags, Bags, Boxes and More at 7.12 inches in brown kraft cardstock.  I also cut out some tags for another project.

I inked the edges of the box, label and scalloped rectangle with Vintage Photo ink.  I used some 3GirlJam crinkle ribbon to make the handle and around the box.  I also used my ATG gun to glue the bottom of the box closed.

Here is the box with the lid closed and cocoa tucked safely inside.

These make fun little gifts.  The only problem I discovered is that only ONE packet fits inside!!  We had our first snow this weekend ~ just in time for some hot cocoa!!

  For my project today, I altered a 5x5 canvas.

I started out playing with my new Santa's Village cartridge and my Imagine.  Looking at the colors of my Santa's compared to the cover of the cartridge box, I am thinking it is time to change the ink!!

I took a couple of tags from Tags, Bags, Boxes and More and cut this shape (from Santa's Village) in half. 

I added some ink and twine.

I pop-dotted the Santas on the top.  I set them aside and got my Imagine back out.

This time I needed a 5x5 square of patterned paper to cover the canvas.  I try to fill up the page when I use my Imagine ~ the extra pieces are for a different project.

I grabbed some embellies from Making Memories.

I liked this tag the best because it had the most green on it.  I added some tags and buttons.

I added some pom pon ribbon across the bottom and the word Believe.

This makes a fun little decoration perfect for a bookshelf or tabletop (or even a gift)!!

Thank you for hopping with us today!!
