Hot Chocolate for Santa and Rudolph

Hot Chocolate for Santa and Rudolph: A Pocket Card with a twist!

Hello, Ribbon lovers!  Have you ever wondered why Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer has such a very shiny nose?  Me, too.  But I think I have cracked the mystery: he was COLD!  I mean, that’s what happens to my nose when I get too cold!  To remedy the situation, I whipped up a little Christmas card with some Hot Chocolate for Santa and Rudolph.  Oh what fun!

Hot Chocolate for Santa and Rudolph Card by Kathy ClementThis 5×7 top fold card is made with Authentique’s fabulous Retro Christmas collection.  To really make it shine, I created a layered bow with Black Plaid Ribbon, Snowflakes on Red Satin Ribbon and Gold Metallic String.   I even tossed in a candy cane in case Santa’s needs to freshen his breath!  Where’s the hot chocolate for Santa and Rudolph, you ask?  Read on!

  1. Cut a piece of patterned paper about 1.25″ wide x 6.75″ wide.
  2. Mat on black cardstock
  3. Glue just the end pieces on either side.

Now you can just slip your packet of cocoa behind the belly band.  I added a sticker sentiment from the collection.  Oh, and just so you know, I did a taste test on the hot chocolate to make sure it meets Santa’s high standards and it passed with flying colors.

Inside Pocket Number 2

The mini envelope is made with one of Tammy Tutterow’s fabulous dies.  I love that this one has a window in it that is just exactly the right size for an itty bitty Ghiradelli chocolate.  how fun is that?  Of course, you could tuck in a gift card if you wanted to.  I’ve heard that Santa is very fond of Starbucks.

This would make such a great gift card for the holidays.  If you’re looking for a fun way to present a gift card, I think this pretty much fills the bill.

Thanks for stopping by!

Cheerio,

kathy

    I love, love this idea Kathy – the papers are very nostalgic and remind me of Christmases in my childhood :-). I’m off to Berlin tomorrow to spend Christmas with my daughter and am so excited – I would like to take this opportunity to wish you and your family a very Blessed Christmas and peace and all good things throughout 2017. I look forward to seeing all your new projects in 2017 🙂
