A Card a Day in December--Day #17

Happy Thursday! I am so excited to share this fun combo project with you today! It is a cute decorated pizza box with a mini card and a gift card all inside! Talk about a small package packing a big punch! This is my 18th share in my A Card a Day in December, I hope you are enjoying everything I have shared so far.

I started by decorating the mini pizza box with a piece of designer series paper from the Heart Warming Hugs collection. I added a belly band of Mossy Meadow card stock with the cute little mini cups from the Warm Hugs stamp set stamped in the same ink color. When making a belly band you want it to be snug enough to stay on but loose enough to slip off and on (it would be sad if the recipient had to rip it off to get at what is inside).

I punched a 2 1/4 inch circle in Pear Pizzaz card stock and ran it through the Wrapped in Texture Embossing folder.

The little cup is from the Press On stamp set and is hand cut. I added a little decorative detail to the cup with a piece of DSP and some light coloring with the light Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blend marker.

The sentiment is stamped in Soft Suede ink on Crumb Cake card stock from the Warm Hugs stamp set.

On the inside I made a cute little 3x3 card with matching envelope. It has a Crumb Cake layer that is also embossed with the Wrapped in Texture embossing folder and another strip of DSP.

The to go cup is also from the Press On stamp set and looks cute with a little DSP coffee cozy on it. I added “I Like You a Latte” on Crumb Cake with a bit of marker spritz.

The 3x3 mini envelope is dressed up with a trio of little coffee cups!

The card is designed to fit in the bottle of the pizza box and the top of the lid has a gift card—a coffee one of course!

If you are looking for a last minute gift for a teacher, neighbor, or coworker I think this would be an easy yet adorable gift left on someone’s door step or mailbox.

Thank you so much for checking out my projects so far this month!
