Heartwarming Hugs Archives - Libby Fens, Stampin' Up! Demonstrator

Happy Tuesday! Try Stampin’ on Tuesday is taking a break until the end of the year.

So, time and energy are going to treats for my stampers!

Let’s talk hot chocolate treat holders. Searches show the same ones with a diagonal pocket and the hot chocolate slips in the pocket. While that’s a great option, I wanted a different one.

So, I created one myself –

And when opened, it looks like this –

Aren’t these soo cute??

I am in the process of making a whole bunch of these and though I should share this quick and easy idea with you!

I took a 3 3/4″ x 11″ strip of card stock and scored it at 4″, 4 1/4″ and 9 1/4″. I added the Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper to the outside bottom and top flap.

I stamped a sentiment from the Warm Hugs stamp set and placed it on a coordinating circle of Balmy Blue adhered with Dimensionals. To keep the packet closed, I used a clear hook and loop coin, aka, velcro dot!

I like the colors. I tried to match the blue writing on the packets themselves. What is nice about the simple design, they don’t scream Christmas, but perhaps winter!

As you can see, the extra score line adds a little space for the hot chocolate packet to expand and close nicely!

So, what do you think? Send me some love it you like these or pictures if you try them yourself!

Welcome to our Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features a hug in a mug.

Ahhhhh, I got this! I haven’t used this Warm Hugs Bundle –

Yes, I created a very labor intensive card, unlike me. But, isn’t it gorgeous?!?!

I started by stamping and die cutting the sentiment in Garden Green and Pear Pizzaz. Then the mugs in the alternating colors as well. I added the red heart from the Banner Year stamp simply because it fit perfectly on the mug!

I liked this nifty pattern from the Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper. So I cut the to size for the circles.

And after all the die cutting I realized another green was to coordinate with this paper. Oh well, it happens. And, it happens to match just fine here too! Lol!

I added die cut Real red circle for a little more bolder stamped sentiment. There is also a small Soft Sea Foam circle behind the cups as well. See, a lot of steps!

I love how this turned out! Don’t you?

Go forward to check out Debbie Henderson, and back to Cindy Elam. I know they’ll have some great warm projects to inspire us!
