Cocoa Card using Snow Wonder Bundle with Snowflake Splendor DSP


 Welcome to my blog. Have one and only craft fair of the year coming up on the 28th so I have been waiting on projects for it. I will be sharing them with you. These are not only for craft fairs but can be used as stocking stuffers, presents, teacher gifts etc. This first project is a Cocoa Card. I have made cocoa pouches for all my craft fairs and they have been good sellers. I found this one on YouTube by Tina Hutton from Close to my Heart. I thought they were neat so decided to make them this year for the craft fair.
Materials and Directions 
- I started with a 5-1/2 by 4-1/4 card base in Pacific Point. On one side I cut putting the fold and the opposite corner on 1 inch . See photo. I then used tear and tape to glue bottom to make the pocket.

- The DSP layer is a piece 5-1/4 x 4. I cut this by putting both corners at 3/4 inch . See photo. I then glued to front of the card. I stamped the sentiments as in photo. The sentiments are from the Freezin’ Fun stamp set.

- The snowman I stamped on Whisper White cardstock, colored and cut out using the die set. I glued to front. I added some glitter at base of snowman.

You can by the products on my website.

Fun Fold using Snow Wonder stamp set and Tis The Season DSP

 

Welcome to my blog. I don’t know the name of this fun fold but have seen several on Pinterest so I decided to try it. The stamp set Snow Wonder has an old fashion snowman. I collect snowmen so had to have the set.The DSP I’m using (Tis The Season) is one of many that are on sale until October 31st. It is pretty simple to make using only paper, stamp, ink and any die shape you want.
Materials and Directions 

- For the card base I used a piece of Shaded Spruce cardstock 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 scored @ 4-1/4
- Card front layer is a piece of Tis The Season DSP 4 x 5-1/4. I glued this to the card front. I then used a layering circle die to cut out the front.
- The inside is a piece of Whisper White cardstock 5-1/4 x 8-1/4 fold in half. Making sure the fold was on the right I stamped the Snowman image. I used blends to color the holly and scarf. On the inside I stamped the sentiment. I forgot blends seep through so I used a piece of the DSP 2 x 5 and glued to cover. I then glued to the inside making sure the fold was on the right.





You can purchase the products I used on my website. Be sure to checkout the DSP that is on sale and purchase what you like before October 31st.

Happy Crafting!
