Santa's Treat Pocket

This cute little treat pocket was originally created by Lisa Stenz who is also a CTMH Consultant.  I thought it was so cute, that I made one to show at my Cricut Class last week. 

The heart pocket is on the <shape1> key

on page 27 in the cricut booklet. 

1.  The combination of keys is:  Font Layer; Shift;

<shape1>.  I cut my pocket at 11". 

2.   I creased all of the folds for the pocket

(don't adhere yet) and then added two strips of

White Daisy Cardstock that were 3/4" each. 

3.  I also cut a "belt" from Black Cardstock that was 1/2".   The belt buckle is on the <square1> key

(keys:  Tag; <square 1>.  I cut the buckle at 1").

4.  I used 2 button brads from the Black Mini

Medley Assortment for the buttons on the "coat".

5.  I used a piece of Cranberry checked ribbon as the

hanger and attached it with 2 small

black brads on the sides.

6.  The final step is to adhere the pocket together

at the side.  I used Terrifically Tacky Tape for that. 

TTT is a very permanent bond which is what you

want on all of the little treat boxes!

7.  The last step is to fill the pocket.  I put Christmas

candy and a Sonic gift card in my pocket!

Merry Christmas Treat Box

December is proving to be a busy month!  It has been days since I have been able to post due to lots of family events.   will try to be better the rest of the week about posting! 

We made this little treat box at my Cricut Class last night.  All of the dimensional boxes from the Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge are so fun to create and decorate. 

This box is located on the <square1> key.  It was cut at

5 3/4" (using the keys: Font Layer; Shift; <square1>;

on page 23 of the Cricut Booklet). 

We also used the <square3> on page 43 to decorate the box.  The tag was cut on the Cricut and stamped with the tag on the Christmas Cheer stamp set. 

The Holly leaves were cut on the Cricut and then stamped with the coordinating stamps from A Holiday stamp set.  We stamped the holly berries from A Holiday on a 3/4" circle which was also cut  on the Cricut. 

We sponged the edges of the pieces with Topiary ink and then added Red Glitz Glitter Gel over the holly berries.  Fill it with candy and it is a sweet treat for someone special!
