snuggle up with cocoa...

Here at the Phillips household, we have already begun to warm up with a cup of cocoa after a chilly 100 degree day :)----that's what life with a now 5 year old teaches us----why wait to enjoy something we love so much.  So, when Nichole asked us as Papertrey Ink design team members to create fun and easy holiday gifts and packaging,  I immediately thought of a simple way to package and treat your neighbors to some Candy Cane Cocoa.    I used Heather's new Rustic Snowflakes Stamp set here to embellish the stocking, tag, and inside cocoa wrap.    Papertrey Ink supplies used: 

Rustic Snowflakes Stamp Set

Pure Poppy Cardstock

Stamper’s Select White Cardstock

Paper Basics Kraft Cardstock

Pure Poppy Topnotch Twill

Large Glassine Bag

Pure Poppy Hybrid Ink

Gold Tinsel from Gold Holiday Ribbon Collection

All that's left is to warm up the cocoa, add some marshmallows, and peppermint candy.

And, be sure to check out the following blogs for more Homemade Gifts From the Heart: Nichole Heady,  Lisa Johnson,  Lauren Meader,  Heather Nichols,  Mish Wooderson,  Niki Estes,  Geny Cassady,  Becky Oehlers, and Dawn McVey.   

Lots more to come---remember everyday, Nichole will be posting more creative ideas counting down to the release of the new stamp sets.

Off to get back to work.

Happy Saturday.

This is stunning!! When I saw that you made the Papertrey Ink design team, I was so excited to see your projects because everything you make, is just so comforting, if that makes sense. I look forward to seeing all of your projects!! You are going to be a great asset to the design team!

Love the greenery which adds such a festive touch to the snowflakes and red mittens. I love peppermint cocoa! The primitive look from the Kraft paper also adds to the primitive yet charming gift presentation.
