HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!! I am SO excited to start a New Year here at Rubber Romance Stamps! Today I have a super QUICK and EASY neato favor to share along with a GIVEAWAY to celebrate the New Year!
Well, every January I host a sleepover for a few of my best friends from high school and all their kiddos. We all have such a good time. I love having a little basket of favors and gifts to give each of the girls that come. (We live about an hour and a half from all of them now, so it's a little vay-cay for them!)
I found some adorable *pink* hot chocolate packets at Target and knew I had to use them! So I made quick and easy, but festive, packaging for them!
Here is what I used:
Cardstock (Martha Stewart & Bazzill Bling)
Trimmer (Fiskars)
Embellies (Opaline Half Pearls by Basic Grey)
Ribbon (May Arts)
Scissors (Martha Stewart)
Ink (Memento)
Markers (Copic Ciao)
Paints (Smooch)
Punches (Marvy Uchida)
Hot Chocolate Pouch
First, cut your paper. (Measure your hot chocolate pounch). I cut mine 12 inches by 4.5 inches. I wanted some of the pink to stand above the packaging to add color.
Next, cut your patterned paper 1/2 an inch shorter than the cardstock on each side. Adhere the PP to the cardstock front.
Next, stamp your images and color. I stamped a few so after they dried I could see which wouldlook best with my PP.
Using my punches I punched out the image and then punched a larger circle to frame the image on the packaging.
Then, I adhered the image to the front of the packaging and stamped my sentiment right onto the patterned paper. I then added my half pearls to each side of the sentiment.
I added a dimensional to the back of the hot chocolate to help it stay in place.
Then I placed it inside the packaging pressing the dimensional to the cardstock well.
Finally, I tied coordinating ribbon around the top to close the package. These are all ready to go into my guest baskets and the image of Bunnie Girl couldn't be more perfect!!!
So, who out there would like to win Bunnie Girl? I have one Bunnie Girl Stamp up for grabs! ALl you need to do to have a cance to win is be a follower of this blog and leave a comment on this post!!! Winner will be announced next week, so check back!!
