GINGERBREAD KISSES HOT COCOA SET | with Jen

I love the Sticker Doodles which are new to Doodlebug this year. They are heavy duty stickers that stand up to washing, so they're perfect for water bottles! But what do you do with the holiday ones? A neighbor gift of course! I used the Sticker Doodles for a gift set of hot cocoa mugs and some hot cocoa mix. I found the mugs and the mix (in that super cute bottle) at TJ Maxx.

I made sure the mugs were clean and also wiped the area where I wanted to apply the Sticker Doodles with rubbing alcohol to make sure they would stick down permanently. I used the Merry Christmas Sticker Doodle on each mug and then added Santa and Gingie as well.

I decorated the bottle using the 6x6 Gingerbread Kisses paper pad. I added a little circle element from the Chit Chat pack to the top. I finished it off with a tag from the Bits and Pieces that I wrote the hot cocoa directions on and then decorated with Ladybug Alphabet Soup stickers and Gingerbread Kisses Puffy Icons. I tied it on with three colors of Doodle Twine.

I completed the set with a tag made with the Christmas Cocoa Doodle Cuts set. I added some paper shred, marshmallows, and chocolate spoons as some extras! Now add it to a cute basket or wrap it in some cellophane and you're ready to gift to a teacher or neighbor!

Have a wonderful Holiday!

Christmas Gifts: Hostess Gift with Kathy

Hi Everyone, it's Kathy today with a fun idea for a Hostess/Neighbor Gift.  The holidays are full of fun and festivities, I'm thankful for our friends and family who open their homes to us, and want to make sure they know how much I appreciate them!  One friend in particular hosts our neighborhood holiday party every year, she's wonderful.  She also loves her daily French vanilla coffee, so I decided to make a gift featuring her favorite /drink...

I created this fun tree using K-Cup coffee pods as the base. You could use the Tea K-Cups or Cocoa K-Cups as well.   This would be a fun gift for a coworker or teacher, anywhere there is a Keurig Machine!  Here's how I put it all together...

I started with 21 K-Cups, 21 paper circles (I cut these from the Here Comes Santa Claus 6 x 6 pad, and the Gingham Linen Petite Prints 6x6 Pad.) and a backing for the cups cut from a sheet of Grasshopper Gingham Linen Petite Prints.  I designed this backing in my silhouette and am happy to share the file with you here!

Using removable glue dots, I attached a paper circle to each of the K-Cups. 

Next, using foam squares, I attached each K-Cup to the tree backing starting on the top.

Once the K-cups were all attached, I set to decorating my "tree." I used the Christmas Assortment Matte Sprinkles, Candy Cane and Holly Berry Shaped Sprinkles, and stickers from the Icons Sheet and some Odds and Ends.  I also added some of the new Here Come's Santa Cut Files available in the Silhouette Store and the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop. 

I can't wait to give it to her!  She will be so happy.  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!
