Hello everyone and welcome to the second last week of the Heart of Christmas blog hop from members of the Art with Heart Stampin' Up! Team.
After a wonderful extended time away for OnStage 2022 in Sydney last weekend, hubby and I arrived home on Thursday and since then it has been go, go, go!
As my time was short since arriving home I thought that I would just share with you the swap that I made as my Heart of Christmas creation for tonight.

Making swaps is only half the fun, but swapping with fellow demonstrators is a lovely way to say 'hi', enjoy and be inspired by their creation.
My swap was CASE'd from Julie DiMatteo - The Paper Pixie.
Julie is a Stampin' Up! demonstrator in the US.

Inside the treat box was a yummy Lindt chocolate ball and a recipe sheet of the products I used on the project. I made 26 in total and it was fun mixing and matching coordinating card stock colours for the heat embossed sentiment.

I used patterns from the Celebrate Everything 12" x 12" (Host) Designer Series Paper. I absolutely adore this paper! The colours and patterns are fun, bright and happy and a great choice for a non-traditional festive look.

The treat boxes open either end as they aren't sealed. This made it so simple and easy to pop in the chocolate ball and info sheet. And easy to open for the recipient too.

The sentiment is from the Charming Sentiments photopolymer stamp set.
This is such a great stamp set with a lovely mix of font styles.

I think these little treat boxes would make a sweet addition to your Christmas dinner table. They could be used as place settings or simply as an extra little something for family and guests.
That's all from me tonight everyone, thanks so much for stopping by on your way through our blog hop.
I have thumb nail images below that show each product in more detail. The images are linked to my online store for more information.

Stay safe and well. See you all again soon.
