Hot Cocoa Packet... A Fun & Easy Gift Idea for the Holidays

Looking for a great gift ideas for co-workers, teachers and neighbors?

These Hot Cocoa Packets are fun and easy to make using Stampin’ Up!’s Envelope Punch Board.

You only need one 6″ x 6″ piece of designer paper for each packet. You’ll get 4 Hot Cocoa Packets out of one 12″ x 12″ sheet… that’s 48* out of one packet of the designer series paper!

*Note: That does not count the paper used for the optional band.For the band, if you make your first cut on the 12″ x 12″ sheet of designer paper at 8-1/4″, you can get 21 bands (3/4″ x 8-1/4″) from the sheet… that’s 16 from 12″ x 8-1/4″ piece and 5 from the 3-3/4″ x 12″ piece.

Once you make one you will want to make lots more!!!
