Sizzix Mug of Cocoa Treat Boxes

My son turns 13 this week.   Of course, I've gone and let time slip away and I am not prepared for a party.  So, I thought I'd take these new Sizzix dies for a spin (Mug and Spoon and Scoreboard XL Make-it-3-D Box) and make some "Cocoa to go" treat boxes to pass out at the party as parting gifts.

I even went so far as to emboss silver spoons.  With snowflakes.  And made tiny little hand-tied bows.  I'm so proud of my handiwork.

I showed them to my son and was quickly informed that boys don't care about frilly stuff.  Oopsy.  Guess I'll have some happy co-workers instead.

(These are filled with a Swiss Miss cocoa packet, Kraft Jet-puffed Peppermint marshmallows and a Hershey's Chocolate Peppermint candy cane.  What is wrong with that boy?!)

Candy Christmas card

Thanks for popping in and looking at my candy jar card.   It was made with 2 stamps from theUnity Stamp Co Oct 2013 kit of the month.   I tried a couple different things with the candy jar and ultimately did a 3-d bow made with sparkly red card stock and fussy cut the jar.   I used lots of glitter glue,  white on the peppermint sticks and some green on the mistletoe.  There's ribbon around the top of the jar and also a little bit of ''dirty'' on the jar 'cause you know little hands have been all into that candy!

I used a couple scrap strips on the side and a doily on the opposite side.   With all the detail on the jar,  I kept the sentiment simple on a 2'' circle punched piece of kraft paper.   I debated about doing more with that punched circle but I'm happy with the simplicity.   What do you think?

Supplies:  American Craft red glitter adhesive tape (punched dots),  Martha Stewart red sparkly cardstock,  Unity Stamps,  Inkadinkadoo green ink,  Bic Red Mark-it pen,  K&Company green designer paper,  red gemstones
