Holiday projects: SANTA CUPS, COCOA SLIDER CARD, VINYL ON PLATES AND CUPS

Hi Everybody!

So I know most of us have finished our projects, and are sitting calmly waiting for Christmas to arrive, right? No way!!! So in case any of you need any last minute quick ideas, here are 3 ideas for some VERY quick treats to put together. Enjoy!

PROJECT #1 -SANTA CUPS

Using the nut cup from the TBBM cart, and the Santa face from the Doodlecharms cart, these little treat boxes can easily be put together in minutes. The baskets were cut @ 5 1/4", and I think the Santa faces were cut @ 2 1/2 " (sorry, forgot to write those measurements down!).


I ran the pieces through my Xyron machine for even quicker assembly. The base for the Santa face has markings for where all the parts go, so there isn't any guesswork.

And 32 baskets later, you're done! Just toss in some shredded paper, and some candy, and you have some cute treats to pass out :)

PROJECT #2 - COCOA SLIDER CARD

First I need to thank and give credit to Robyn @ My Pink Stamper for this idea. She did a video on this, and it looked so easy, simple, and cute that I had to try it! And she was kind enough to let me share how my result of her project came out. Hope you like it!

The size of the base depends on how big of what you are putting inside. Here are the sizes for the card I made:

• base = 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", score @ 2 1/2" and 6 1/2"
• patterned paper = 8 1/2" x 3", score @ 2 1/2 " and 6 1/2"

1. Lay cocoa envelope inside (not to snug as you will need it to slide in and out of the card)
2. Apply patterned paper.
3. Apply adhesive and close card.
4. Punch hole at the top.
5. Insert ribbon through hole.
6. Put cocoa envelope through top of card OVER ribbon.
7. Slide envelope down until you can't see it, then tie ribbon.

And now 22 envelopes later, you are finished!

PROJECT #3 - VINYL ON PLATES AND CUPS

I made these for my kids teachers Christmas presents. I made some pumpkin bread, added a cocoa slider card, and a mug with the teachers' names and since I already had all this stuff around the house, I didn't have to spend any money! Details:

• When It's Cold Outside cart, and cut the Santa snowflake @ 5 1/2"
• Winter Woodlands cart, and cut Seasons Greetings (forgot size :P)
  
  

Cut the same size snowflake onto a smaller plate.

I used Winter Woodlands font to cut the teachers names. I used When It's Cold Outside to cut a snowflake on each side of the name.

Don't forget to leave a comment! And I hope this helps provide some helpful last minute inspiration. Hope everyone has a great holiday!
