Good Friday Morning!
I have finally finished another project for day 9 of my 12 Days of Christmas! I would have had day 10 but it sucked! I spent LOTS of time on it and then when I was done, I hated it!! I hate when that happens... Oh well, here is today's project ~
The box is from Papertrey Ink and can be found HERE! I had a couple of these left from last Easter when I made THIS and THIS! The Cocoa, Marshmallows, Reindeer Poop, etc... was put in Wilton cake decorating bags which I cut a portion of the top off due to them being too big and then stamped on them using White Stazon and THIS Inka snowflake stamp. I tied the bags closed using red hemp because it was strong and would seal them tightly. I then added red Martha Stewart ribbon to cover up the hemp and then tied the tags on using silver cord. I used Quigly Wiggly font to print the tags on Whisper White cardstock. I used my red K&Co. glitter paper to cover the inside egg holder portion. I first traced each circle with a pencil on the back of the glitter paper and then punched out each hole using my 1 3/8" punch. I then glued it down on top of the egg holder portion using a glue stick. Here is a picture from the top ~
It's kindof hard to see the glitter paper but believe me, it's there!!! This is going to be a gift for one of Mary's teachers. She has a little boy so I also included some reindeer food (oatmeal & glitter) so that will be fun for them! Here is a closer picture of the front bags ~
For the box ~ I randomly stamped the same Inka snowflake in Close to Cocoa ink and Chocolate Chip ink. I them used 1/8" handheld punch to punch little circles from the red glitter paper. I then glued the dots inside each snowflake and randomly around the box. Here is a closer look at that ~
The lid, which is on the bottom, was covered in the new Chocolate 1' grosgrain ribbon using Sticky Strip. I then added the same snowflake stamped on Whisper White cardstock using Chocolate Chip ink, added a red glitter dot, punched it out using 1 1/4" punch, matting it with a Chocolate Chip circle I punched from my 1 3/8" punch and then added both of them to a red glitter scalloped circle I punched using my Nesties. I then used Elmer's glue to adhere it to the front of the box.
Before I go, I want to share with you a RAK I received from my friend Cindy Haffner ~
Isn't it darling?!?!? I absolutely LOVE it!
Hope you all are having a great day and I'll see you back here tomorrow for my OCC post!

I love this idea - it's so cute and would be great as an exchange gift, friend gift, or some such thing. One question though. What are in the three packages in the back? I can't read the labels or see what's in them...

this is fabulous!! I see the in the undecorated box that the "egg holder" insert is at the bottom of the box, how did you adhere it to the top of the box to hold the cone? inquiring minds want to know.... LOL
