Double Dare Challenge for last Tuesday!!!!

Nothing like being a week late with a challenge!!!! Anne (jdmommy) was the hostess last week for the Double Dare challenge. Her challenge was to make something with an envelope. I struggled all week and finally remembered this cute little hot chocolate holder that we had made last year at one of my DD's stamp camps. Wouldn't ya know I couldn't remember how to do it so my sweet daughter, Holly (hbrown) came over yesterday and refreshed my memory.

I sealed a 4 1/8" x 9 1/2" envelope, cut it in half, and crimped one of the halves. This is the pocket that you slip the hot chocolate into. Decorate the other half any way you want. Make sure the cut side is facing down so the crimped layer can be slipped into the top layer. I used the I Like It a Latte set, stamped the image with Chocolate Chip onto Pink Pirouette cs. The cup was paper pieced with the same Paper Studio dp I used on the background. The foam was stamped on white with the CC ink, covered with Dazzling Diamonds glitter, cutout and attached with a dimensional. The mint sticks were also stamped with CC, colored with a Regal Rose marker and attached under the foam with glue dots. The main image layer and the sentiment were attached with dimensionals. Now just slip the crimped layer into the cut side of the envelope and tadaa...a quick little gift for someone who likes cocoa!! You can also decorate the front with a Christmas image and use these for stocking stuffers.



















Be sure to crimp the envelope from the top to the bottom. That way the crimped pocket with the hot chocolate will fit into the other half...it kinda smushes it with style!!










Thanks for visiting...have a good night!!
