This Cocoa Snowman Gift box is so cute!! A great way to use a few punches and end up with an adorable gift!!
The nose of this snowman is a tea light! I left the back accessable to flip the switch! Fill this box with cocoa fixin's or any small gift. The weight of the gift will keep your snowman from tipping forward!!
Now for the details: I used the Fancy Favor Bigz XL die to create the box. This die is amazing, I used 1/2 a sheet of Real Red cardstock, cut length ways, just enough to cover the die and cut this box. The fancy edge is not needed and helps conserve on your cardstock, so 2 boxes from (1) 8 1/2 X 11 sheet!!
It comes out all scored and ready to fold and decorate! I punched a 2 1/2 circle punch of Whisper White card stock and adhered to one of the large sides of the box. Add sticky strip to the scored flap. Punch 2 black coals with the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch pack. Adhere with glue dots.
To decorate the tea light I used the Xlarge Oval punch in Gumball Green, cut in half for the hat base. The Scallop Oval punch cut in half and trimmed for a hat brim. And the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch for the pom pom. The Gumball Greem hat piece was run thru the Argyle Embossing folder for some texture, glue on the brim and pom pom. Use 2 glue dots on the brim and stick to the tea light( make sure your switch is at the top of the snowman head)!!!
For the coal eyes and mouth , I colored Rhinstone Basic Jewels with a black sharpie! Hit them with the heat gun and WaLa!! Black jewels! With adhesive for easy attachment!
Fold your box and add sticky strip as shown in the below picture to finish your box.
I then added three small strip of sticky strip to the back of the tea light, making sure the switch is at the top for easy access. Remove protective tape and adhere to bag, making sure your Snowman's head is on straight!!
I then added some of our Sweater Trim for the scarf. I wrapped it around twice and tied a knot. Add your cocoa, candy canes and a Treat tube of marshmallows. Frosty is ready to go! How cute is this!!
