Hot Cocoa Treat holder measurements

Many of you left comments or sent emails asking for measurements on this project I posted over the weekend.  I know you were probably thinking I'd never get around to it, but Ta-Dah, here it is!

Now, my packet of hot cocoa measures (approximately) 6 1/2" long by 2 5/8" wide.  You may have to adjust measurements for the size of what you choose to use, but if you can do that then almost anything goes for what you can put in here!

I cut a piece of cardstock for the folder 6 1/2" wide by 7" tall.  I scored along the short side at 3" and 3 1/2" to make the "spine" of the folder.

 

The little box to hold the cocoa packet was cut 3 1/2" wide by 2 1/2" tall.  I scored the edges on 3 sides at 1/4" and 1/2".  Then I cut away the squares at the bottom two corners, and folded up the sides to create the little box to hold the cocoa.  (See succession of photos below.  You can click on the pictures for larger views.)

     

I trimmed some 1/4" red line tape to apply to the edges of the box and adhere to the folder, then decorated as desired!

I hope this helps you out!  Remember, I got the inspiration from this design from Laurie Schmidlin, however I have no idea if my measurements and design are the same as hers.

Happy stamping!

Chocolate Caramel Cocoa? You're lucky I didn't see that's what it was or I would've snagged it off the table :-)
