C hocolate-filled tree for holiday gift giving
Project Recipe
Cut cardstock as follows:
a) Garden Green - (1) 9-3/4" x 2", (1) 11" x 2"
b) Chocolate Chip - (1) 5-3/4" x 2"
Make the outer, green cardstock layer:
a) score the 9-3/4" x 2" cardstock strip at 3", 6-1/8", and 9-1/4"
b) score at 1" lengthwise
c) fold along score lines and adhere the 1/4" tab to the 'bottom' of the tree
Create the inner, 'divider" for the kisses:
a) score the full length of the long, green cardstock strip at every 1"
b) cut the strip in half lengthwise at 1"
c) cut one of the resulting strips at 4" and 7", so you're left with one strip each of 4", 7", and 11"
d) fold each strip on the score lines and fit them into the tree 'body' -- I find it easier to start at the bottom with the longest strip
e) insert one Kiss into each of the resulting triangles
Tie a length of ribbon around the green tree, with the bow at the top of the triangle
Create the tree trunk:
a) score the brown cardstock strip at 1", 2-3/8", 3-3/8, and 4-3/4
b) score the strip lengthwise at 1"
c) fold along all score lines and adhere into a rectangle
d) insert 2 Nuggets into the trunk
e) adhere the trunk to the base of the tree
