Hot Cocoa Book

Hey Everyone!
 
     So its official, I am starting on my holiday crafts and cards. As of Monday there are only 7 weeks left! Yikes, it goes by so quick.

 I started making these booklets for a swap I am in over at Two Peas but I was told someone is already making something similar. So these bad boys are going in my Etsy shop. No harm right!?

I used the tutorial from Sarah Pink Cricut, you can find the video here. I really love this booklet because when it comes to packaged hot cocoa I am a one and a half package kind of girl. One to me tastes too watery so I always have to add half of a second package. Maybe it's just me? :). I am looking for a homemade recipe so if anyone has one or found any please let me know!



I also used Sarah's Pink By Design stamp set "Tags & Treats." I almost had a butchered moment because I cut the "stir, sip & enjoy" saying in half *gasp*. The dot on the "j" about met it's fate but luckily my snipping skills saved the day.

I am not sure if I am going to include the packets of hot chocolate in my shop or not, would you?

Thanks for visiting!

  4. Super cute card! I am also a package and a half for my hot chocolate. I usually like to make a bigger cup and it tastes watery if I only use one so you are not alone!!
