Warmest Wishes To You!!

and yours!!

From all of us here at Glue Arts!!

It's that time of year...hard to believe that this week we will celebrate Thanksgiving in just three days.

Many of us with gather together with friends and family and surround ourselves with good food {and football!}


It's a perfect time of the year to sit back and thank one another for all that we do. Even through difficult times it's important to find what is truly beneath the Pumpkin pies and Cranberry sauce and that is remembering all that we have to be thankful for.

Today Designer Cheri Wenger reminds us to be thankful for hot cocoa! Definitely a family favorite! {don't forget the marshmallows!!} And Designer Carole Janson reminds us to be thankful for friends. Not a bad combination!!

 Winter Warm Up Gift Tin

a fillable gift tin with wrapped cocoa packets

Designer: Cheri Wenger

Supplies:
Adhesive: (Glue Arts) U-Cut It Double Sided Foam Adhesive, Extreme Adhesive Squares, Ribbon Adhesive and Glue Glider™ Pro with Extreme Adhesive. (Judi Kins) Diamond Glaze
Punches:(Stampin’ Up!®) Scallop Circle Punch and Corner Rounder Punch; (Marvy) 2-1/2" Circle Punch; (EK Success) Real Estate Sign Punch

Embellishments: (Studio 18) Red Rhinestones; white glitter, wooden spoon and warmest wishes stamp or typeset verse, 4 packets of cocoa mix, white metal lunch box tin.

Instructions:

Cut cardstock to fit flat inset on top of tin and use corner rounder for edges. Next, use Glue Glider™ Pro to apply extreme adhesive around raised rim. Here is a close up showing extreme adhesive applied to rim of metal tin which is being repurposed.

Apply ribbon adhesive to inner edging of trim. Start from the inside and wrap outward. I wrapped carribean twine around edge and on the corners I cut small strips to fill in with twine up to the edges. See below.

Wrap 2-1/4" x 2-1/2" piece of brown cardstock with maraschino twine and knot in a bow on left side. Add small strip of snowflake csrdstock to bottom with Pro. Punch patterned CS with scallop circle punch. Trim out tiny circle graphic with scissors and attach to larger punched CS with Pro. Apply double sided U-Cut it foam adhesive to back of large punched tag element and apply over top of wrapped twine as shown. Add rhinestones to bottom of tag.

Tie turquoise ribbon around top of spoon. Punch small hole in tag and use cappuccino twine to make a noose knot and tie over bow. Attach on tin using adhesive squares. Use Judi Kins Diamond Glaze on spoon and sprinkle with white glitter. Press glitter onto spoon, recycle excess and allow to dry. You can use a small amount of this on the edges to smooth out small cut pieces of twine on corners. 

Cut 4" x 10-1/2" piece of patterned CS. Stack 4 packs of cocoa and wrap patterned CS around it. Secure with strips of extreme adhesive applied to overlapping areas.
Punch mittens from CS using scallop circle punch and adhere to punched circle of striped CS. Cut 15" piece of red sheer ribbon. Tie vertically around packets and make a bow. Add touch of carribean twinery to bow. Run a strip of extreme adhesive over back of layered punched elements and attach to front of ribbon to finish this adorable gift.
