Sorry for the blurry picture. These are little sour cream containers filled with Hershey’s Kisses 🙂 Super easy to make:

Cut your DSP (Merry Moments) to 4″ x 6″
Apply Sticky Strip to one side and the bottom
Fold the 4″ sides towards the middle and secure the ends and bottom
Fill with candy
Fold the top in the opposite direction of the bottom
Punch two holes at the top
Crimp the top and bottom
Add the ribbon
Add the sentiment

You can also find more detailed directions and pictures at http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/sour_cream_container/

(They use different measurements but it looks similar 🙂

A holiday card I received from Carol Price! It used the Christmas Jingle Simply Scrappin’ kit 🙂

I received a Christmas Cocoa Packet from Dawn Griffith at Founders Circle this year and I changed it just a little to keep it easy for mass production 🙂 Again, very easy!

Seal your Whisper White Medium envelope shut

Trim off a little from the side so it measures about 5″

Stamp some snowflakes from “Snow Swirled” in Bermuda Bay

Punch an opening at the top with the Slit Punch for the ribbon

Insert the Cocoa so the ribbon holds it at the bottom

Add stamped images from “Cold & Cuddly”, sentiment from “Many Merry Messages” and punched snowflakes

You can view Dawn’s version along with detailed instrucions and a video here: http://www.dawnsstampingthoughts.net/2009/09/hot-cocoa-holder-video-.html

Here’s another holiday card from Judy Horowitz:

I don’t know exactly how she made it yet but I know she used the Top Note die for the shoes and some punches for the tops of the shoes. I can’t wait to make one!
