Blog Tour Day 3--You KNOW I had to use Chocolate :)

Yes, coffee and chocolate.... I love them both!

So for today I have a fun little idea for your stocking stuffers, friends, co-workers or to keep next to your bed for this late nite cravings!

This little project is SUPER EASY to do and super cute too!

Begin with a 3-1/4 x 6-5/16" piece of Garden Green Cardstock... score it at 3 and 3-5/16".... set aside
Next take a 6x6 piece of Merry Moments Designer Series Paper.... score it at 1-1/2" and 4-1/4".  Fold on score lines and adhere together along overlapping edge. 

Insert into your cutter with the 6" edge along the top of your cutter and score at 2-7/8" and 3-1/8".  Fold on score lines.....

Lay the designer paper on top of the garden green cardstock, lining up score lines in the middle.  Use the 1/16" hole punch to punch a hole through both layers in between the score line. 

Use gold elastic cord through the holes and tie together into a knot/bow on the garden green side. 

Use the 3/4" circle punch to punch divits out of the openings of the designer paper.  These pockets will hold a Ghiradelli chocolate or even a tea bag.  To create a sentiment insert, use a 2-5/8" x 2-5/8" piece of cardstock.

Next, create a belly band buckle using 1-1/2" x 6-1/4" piece Old Olive Cardstock... score at 1-3/4", 2-1/16",  5-1/8" and 5-7/16". Fold on score lines. (yes, these are some funky measurements, but doing them makes the band fit perfectly!)
Attach 3/4" flap to front of booklet, lining up score lines on the spine.... tucking strip under the elastic cord.

Attach 2-3/4" x 2-3/4" piece Real Red Cardstock to front of booklet using adhesive along the TOP AND BOTTOM ONLY.

Tuck 1-3/4" flap of old olive band under the real red cardstock to secure.

Run a 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" piece of old olve cardstock through the Big Shot using the Petals-a-Plenty Textured Embossing Folder... Attach to real red cardstock.  Accent with ornmaent from Delightful Decorations set, stamped in real red ink, punched with the Ornament punch, and accent from the set stamped in garden green ink and punched with 3/4" circle punch.  Add an old olive brad and attach circle to ornamant with a dimensional.

Ta-Da.... You can embellish as much or as little as you like!
Ok, off you go to Kathy's Workshop again!  See you back tomorrow!
