On the 11th day of Christmas my friend shared with me a really fun hot chocolate treat! I hope you were singing that with the tune in mind! Welcome to another 12 Days of Christmas post!

Today I wanted to share a fun treat idea inspired by the piping bag in the Homemade Treats bundle! I ordered myself some icing piping bags off Amazon and filled them up with hot chocolate, mini chocolate chips and mini marshmallows for a fun treat giving idea.

I love to make things for my customers and co-workers and thought these would make a really fun treat to leave in someone stamping spot or on their desk. It has already snowed here in Edmonton so a little cup of warm on a chilly day is a nice surprise.

I used the Real Red Shiny ribbon to tie and attach the tags for these hot chocolate bags. The first tag is on Pool Party card stock and I ran the bottom of the tag (custom cut to 2 x 4 inches) through the Plaid embossing folder. I decided to use the ‘From the Kitchen of’ stamp on both of my projects. This one is stamped and layered on Garden Green with some of the new Garden Green & White chevron ribbon layered in between the circles.

I stamped out a Real Red oven mitt (so cute) and added a cute little gingerbread man and a fun little coastal cabana icing piping bag.

On my second tag, I used Real Red and stamped the little sprinkles all over it. I used the Gingerbread Man dies to create a pink candy cane to add to the tag and then once again stamped little gingerbread men in Pecan Pie and a piping bag in Garden Green.

These tags were so fun to make and they dress this little hot chocolate treat up so well.

Make sure to check in with Melanie to see what she has to post tomorrow and then come back here to see what I am sharing for our final project!

Hello friends! This month my Artisan Group consisting of Tammy Wilson, Heather Thomas, Sandra Herzog, Karine Lison and myself where given the Marigold Moments bundle to design with. I actually quite enjoyed this bundle as it has some really amazing elements!

I am really going to miss these embossed treat bags! they were so easy to create with!

I decided to make a card and coordinating treat bag for my projects this month. You can give these together or individually! Let’s start with the Embossed Treat Bag—I used my Blending Brush in Blushing Bride to give a bit of color to the right side of the bag and then I flicked my Stampin’ Write marker over top as I do love the splatter look.

I cut a large scallop circle from the Layering Circle Dies and then a circle of DSP from the Regency Park DSP to go on top. The marigold cluster was stamped in Blushing Bride and Mango Melody ink and die cut. All of the greenery is either stamped or die cut from Soft Seafoam ink.

I actually LOVED this color combination and am sad to see both Blushing Bride and Mango Melody retire. I had alot of fun creating with them over the years.

The sentiment “You have a Heart of Gold” is absolutely AWESOME and one that I don’t recall ever seeing in any other stamp sets before. I added a double bow behind it in the Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon, another LOVE that is retiring. And lastly to play off of the sentiment I added some gold sequins from the Adhesive Backed Pastel Sequins.

To all of the moms out there…you are killin’ it. have an awesome mother’s day!

This card is quite fun as its a shakerless shaker card, hahaha! I cut a window out of my first layer of Basic White card stock using the Stitched Rectangle Dies and after I stamped the cluster of marigold flowers on the card base in Blushing Bride, I added this window layer with the Adhesive Strips.

TOP TIP: Use Adhesive Strips instead of Dimensionals to get a little more lift. They are thicker and so easy to run around the edges of your shape as you can cut them to any length you like!

The Marigold Moments Dies have a really awesome border die that cuts out the scallop that I tucked along the inside bottom of the card and the reverse image underneath the sentiment. I love that this stamp set includes a Happy Mother’s Day stamp,

There are two dies used to create one of these marigold flowers and one for the stem. For the base of the flowers I die cut the solid back in Mango Melody and Blushing Bride. The top die cut layer and the stamps are cut out of Basic White and then I used my Blending Brushes to add some color. I love this look because it adds so much texture and depth. The idea is NOT to make the Basic White base look like card stock but to allow for color variation. I added a few extra flowers tucked in and behind my main blooms to help give the illusion of a bouquet.

And of course I had to add some gold sequins. Every project needs a little bling right?

I hope these projects inspire you and please make sure to check out what the rest of my group has created on either the Stampin’ Up! Official Instagram page or their individual pages:
