These were a big hit at my stamp camp last week. Each one holds 4 little hershey kisses. Very quick and simple-- will make these with my kids for their school Christmas parties. I will paste the directions from my Project Sheet here, if you want.
1. Start with a quarter size sheet of cardstock, we used Bliss Blue. Stamp all over with snowflake stamp, using Bliss Blue ink. Stamp greeting with Real Red ink.
2. Score at 1 3/8” using bone folder. I made a pencil mark for you, on the purple plastic part so you can slide along and make 3 score lines in the same place. Fold up into a little “tent” shape using strong adhesive (Mono Multi liquid, or ATG 714) on the back flap.
3. With 1 ¼” circle punch, make a little snowman head out of Shimmery White cardstock.
Stamp face with Basic black ink, and carrot nose with pumpkin pie ink.
4. Stamp the Santa Hat with Real Red ink onto scrap of shimmery white. Cut out with scissors (cut the ball off too). Assemble head and hat using glue dots. Affix pompom with glue dot.
5. Stick one Hershey kiss at one end of tent, using glue dot. Slide in 2 more kisses. Then “anchor” the other end with one more kiss, stuck down with a glue dot.

This is wonderful! Don't know how I missed seeing this when you posted, but I'm glad I found it in the gallery. The sentiment on the "tent" is so just-right for this - did you print that on the computer or did you have a stamp? If it was a stamp, could you tell me the company that produced it? TFS this fun, fun Christmas goodie!
