More Sweet Gift Giving!

I hope you like this Candycane Cocoa...I guess I should probably try some. Actually, this package had a little hole in it, and wow! DID IT SMELL GOOD! lol I have another box which is perfect for the 6x3 cards, that I bought from http://www.clearbags.com/. the size of the box is approx 6 7/8 x 3 3/4" (for the envelopes too)

Cut your pieces of cardstock so that they will fit inside the box. The width is smaller than the box size, so that you can actually fit it in. The box is measured according to the outside measurements, so it can be off by 1/4". It is probably better to be a little smaller than too tight to fit inside easily.

I scored the cardstock so that it formed a box at the bottom (1/2" gusset).

The flap portion is 2 1/2", 1/2" and then 1/2" (3 1/2" total x 3 5/8")

The flap section is where the cocoa mix will sit, so I used the small oval punch to form the opening. I slid the punch across all the way to make the opening. Leave at least 1/4" on the side so it will hold it down. Attach this piece to the other Riding Hood Red piece and make the pocket.

This is what it will look like after you punch it all the way across. I added the decorative papers

To embellish the front, I added the Scallop punched, felt flurries (with glue) and then the Circles. I used the glue instead of dimensionals, since the felt acts like a dimensional.




This is what it looks like before you place it in the plastic box!

After it is in the box, add the candy canes for a more festive look!

It's a wonderful life...for a dog..

do you see how she's suffering??? lol
ahh...what a way to go!
