I have now made these for Christmas and Valentine's Day. I will be making these as thank you wedding favors for my niece's wedding in May. I am trying to figure out what design to use for a wedding. Originally I was going to use different punches--hearts, flowers, and bells but am thinking instead of investing in a Cuttlebug and embossing hearts on the paper with perhaps some chalking accents. Anyone with some new ideas please feel free to share!
I got the instructions for these from the Close to My Heart consultant bulletin board. They are fun to make. Here are the instructions:
The Cover: **Cut 2 pieces of cs (or could be 1 cs and 1 B&T) 4 1/2" x 3". **Score each piece 2" from the left edge, and 2" from the right edge (you will have a 1/2" spine in the center of each piece of paper). **Cut a piece of coordinating ribbon about 14" long and glue it down to the center of the back piece of cs (opposite direction of scored spine). **Glue the B&T to the cs--the ribbon will be sandwiched between them. **Cut a front panel 1 3/4" x 2 3/4"; stamp the snowman, and decorate. **Punch out the snowman belly (from the front panel) with a 3/4" circle punch. Position on the cover and punch the cover. **Stamp "to" and "from" inside the cover on the left hand side.
The Tic Tac Container: **Peel the label off the container front, top and back. **Use rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball to remove the stamped date. **Make the new label on your computer (stamp and make it cute) and adhere it to the Tic Tac box. **Adhere the Tic Tac box to the cover with a glue dot, or double sided adhesive.
The poem says:
Snowman Kisses
He's cute, cuddly,
& full of good wishes;
He wants to give you
these snowman kisses!
