this week is all about gift giving on the pebbles blog. using our scrapbook supplies to make handmade gifts for our friends and family. here is what i came up with.
i used the new arrival boy collection, to create this cocoa gift set. i've made a few cocoa gift sets in my past. in a tin. in a big jar. but i thought these clear buckets would be fun to use, for a new twist on the idea. i love these buckets, and it's nice that they come in so many great sizes now. i bought 3 different ones, to fit each of my cocoa ingredients.
i went with the new arrival boy collection, for the blues and the browns in the pattern papers. i originally had some green and red pattern papers out. but i just wasn't feeling it. i think it's because the blues and browns just go so well with the ingredients. when i think of cocoa (which btw, i do not drink), i think of winter (which btw, we don't have winter here). and blues, browns, and whites just seem wintery to me.
to decorate the clear buckets, i added a strip of pattern paper and some ribbon. i used THIS punch along the strip. it's one of my favorite punches right now. the little letter stickers are from pink paislee.
for the tops of the buckets, i cut circles of pattern paper to fit the lid. they are adhered using pop dots, of course. you know me. i have to work pop dots into every project i do. lol! then i added a star embellishment to finish it off. one is chipboard, one is felt, and one is a 3D sticker.
all i need to do, is toss these buckets into a gift bag or a basket, and they're ready for gift giving. make sure and check out the pebbles blog this week, to see what some of the other design team members have come up with.
