12 Days of Christmas--Day 3!

Hi friends! How have you been enjoying the blog hop so far? I have you have been inspired and if you have not added these bundles to your cart yet, you will be soon! There is still plenty of holiday crafting time left and baking season is really just beginning which is why I wanted to share an idea for an easy way to dress up a holiday treat.

I do love baking all throughout the year but there is something special about holiday baking. I love to participate in bake exchanges as its a fun way to get new ideas and share a recipe you love. I also enjoy making things and packaging them up cute to share with a co-worker, friend, stampin customers and my kids.

My kids have really been enjoying cookies lately and so I wanted to create a fun tag that you could use to package up individual cookies or a stack of cookies in a cello bag.

I made my own tag by cutting a piece of Coastal Cabana into 2 1/4 x 4 inches and stamped the squiggles along the bottom from the Gingerbread Man stamp set is the same color. I attached the tag through a piece of Real Red Shiny Ribbon. I cut the ribbon in half so that it wasn’t as thick. I tied into a knot on the cookie bag and left the tails of the ribbon to float free. The Garden Green & White Chevron ribbon was added over the hole on the tag to act as another bow. Sometimes I find this easier than trying to get my original ribbon to cooperate!

 

The sentiment is from the Homemade Treats stamp set and because its quite large, I needed to use the 2 3/8 circle punch. I used the Stampin’ Write markers (RIP) in Real Red and Garden Green on the sentiment.

The little gingerbread man and rolling pin are from the same stamp set and are stamped using Pecan Pie ink. The adorable candy die cut is from the Gingerbread Man die set. The mini heart is from the Bee Builder Punch.

I think adding an handmade tag to your holiday baking is such a special extra touch. I plan to have a stack made and ready to go for the holidays for when I want to leave an unexpected treat for someone on their desk!
