Festive Favors for Kids Using Mistletoe Kisses
Hi everyone and welcome back to the blog today! I can’t quite believe that my kiddos are finishing up their school year this week! It’s been a busy one and we are all looking forward to getting down to the serious business of having lots of holiday fun!
It’s a bit of a tradition in our kindergartens and schools to give a little end of year gift to one’s classmates. I’ve got a few examples for you if you are stuck for ideas! Let’s take a look what you can create with just one Mistletoe Kisses Collection Kit (with plenty of leftovers!)
Let’s start off with these cute little 3x4 cards. I’ve used some plain white cardstock and then mounted some 3x4 journalling cards over the top.
One sheet of Mistletoe Kisses 3x4 Journalling cards will give you 12 options for card messages. (I like to use a craft knife and ruler to trim up these types of sheets as I find it a lot more accurate.)
This little reindeer card has had it’s corners rounded and then it’s been very simply adhered directly onto the card using a small hole punch and some metallic twine. One could also create some custom envelopes to match!
I’ve given him a bit of extra detail in the form of a ‘shiny nose’ using some glossy accents; some sparkly cheeks (Wink of Stella brush pen) and stamped on an extra sentiment with my Classic Christmas Roller Stamp and some co-ordinating ink.
Hello Mr Elf… My my, haven’t you got a festive cap! I’ve used the roller stamp again on this one, along with a bit of washi tape.
Do you like to give edible treats? How about a little goodie bag filled with some freshly popped corn and a pretty tag? I simply adore the darling characters in this collection.
Here is an idea for the girls… some cute Christmas hair clips, complete with mistletoe and bells!
I’ve created a tag and then cut two lines into it with a craft knife. I then slid the hair clips into these cut areas.
This goodie bag contains sweet treats!
The bauble was hand cut from one of the 3x4 cards. I often look to the journalling sheets in a collection kit for extra ephemera!
How about a pencil with the child’s initial?
I’ve decorated some pencils with washi tape and then attached a punched initial to the pencil with some metallic twine. Add a teensy bell for extra cheer!
This all-in-one die is a super cute option for a gift card or voucher.
The little present slides open to reveal the card and a note.
Lastly, I have used a SN@P! Photo Flip to hold a special home-baked treat. These fun sleeves come primed with adhesive so you can easily attach them to your project. I have fused my sleeve shut to prevent ants from taking a taste test!
You can use the area underneath the sleeve to write a little note to your BFF.
Thanks so much for popping in today. I hope you have lots of fun exchanging your festive treats!
