12/13 Gift Idea #1

With the Holidays

Just around the corner ...

I have decided this week I will blog some great

little cheap gift ideas!

Each gift will....

1. Have a scrapin' touch

2. Be low cost

3. Easy to do !!!

Today I am sharing this great little treat...

Make a bunch and

give to office co-workers ( one on each desk) ... or

Your kids classmates... or

I am using mine to put in the teachers boxes at my work ( I work at a school )

Day 1

Uses Cardstock, glue, and your Cricut....plus Doodlecharms or Christmas cheer cartridges.....

and a pepermint patty.

Cost : Im guessing ... pennies!!!

The peppermints need to look like this... any brand. I found mine at Walmart around $2 a bag.

I turned them into these!!!

I sandwiched the patties between two cardstock circles. ( flower shaped & 2 inches ) They do sell a 2 inch punch at Michaels I used my Cricut. But if you don't have a cricut you
can use the punch and embellish with Stickers. ( That would just increase your cost a bit.)

Here is a back view that shows the shape of the circle. I used Accent Essentials

Cartridge and then wrote Merry Christmas with a white gel pen.

JACKI AND I MADE A TUN!

She went home with 36 and I had the same. I made about 16 more and still

had peppermints left over.... I only bought 2 bags!!!

This is a great project for scraps... I of course did not use scraps. ( ** I can hear

you ladies who know me laughing about that! :)

Here is the run down on cost....

Cardstock :

2 base color and - 2-3 additional colors per design made about 20 !

( Example: Cardstock 2 red, 1 flesh color, 1-2 white and 1 red )

About $2 per design in Cardstock.

Peppermints $4 ( 2 bags )

Embellished with what I had on hand / scraps ( these I do save ) $ 0.00

Total cost about $10 for 85 or so. About 11 cents each!!!
