Happy National Cocoa Day!!! Hope you have a fabulous and delicious hot cocoa 🙂 And today is the Day 5 of the Coffee Lovers Winter 2016 Blog Hop! We have 400+ link ups now! WOW! Lot’s of coffee/tea/cocoa themed projects for sure… And the link up and hop is still open until December 16th!
Celebrating this National Cocoa Day, I made this hot cocoa pocket gift:
I made this pocket out of an envelope. I sealed the envelope on the back, then die cut the top with one of the Concord 9th – Bags & Tags Dies.
I stamped the plaid pattern on the front pocket using Concord & 9th – Lots of Blots stamp set. Then I decorated the front pocket with the sentiment from the same stamp set and die cut it with the circle from the Bags & Tags die set. The cup is from the Mittens & Mugs stamp & die sets from Concord & 9th old but goodie sets.
Embellishments I used on this pocket are the gold sequin ribbon from Hobby Lobby and Christmas washi tapes that I got from Pick Your Plum a while ago.
I made couple of them to give to my best friends at church this Christmas. I hope you all are inspired today to create and share your Winter coffee/tea/cocoa themed project with Coffee Lovers Winter 2016 Blog Hop!

What a wonderful way to add pizzazz to a tasty gift! Using an envelope: brilliant! Definitely adding this idea to my ‘must try’ list (and apparently I may “need” the C9 Bags and Tags set after all *grin*)

Genius! Love how you used an envelope!
