For R's and my co-workers, and for r's classmates, I decided to give candy canes as a little gift for Christmas. Although I think it's perfectly okay to just hand out candy canes to everyone, the papercrafter in me could just not pass up the chance to make something cute and papercraft-y to hold the little treats.
I made these candy cane holders out of the folded ornament card from Joys of the Season Cricut cartridge, at 3 inches. I cut the actual card, and also the shadow of the card, to create a red border around the candy cane holder.
I stamped the image from Tags Til Christmas stamp set (Stampin' Up) in navy blue ink. I think it's perfect for my ornament.
I punched the hole for the ribbon using my Crop-a-dile.
I used the following products for this project:
White and red cardstock (The Paper Comapany)
Night of Navy ink (Stampin' Up!)
Tags Til Christmas stamp set (Stampin' Up!)
Silver ribbon (my stash)
I'm entering this project to this week's Fantabulous Cricut challenge, which is to make anything but a card (holiday edition).
Thanks for looking, and please stay tuned for more quick and easy Christmas projects. Have a great day!
Great idea to dress up those candy canes. Your little handmade tag added so much personality. Thanks for linking your project to our challenge at FCCB. Kim
