On the 6th day of Christmas...


...my true love gave to me....some yummy sweets under the tree....

Do you give out homemade fudge, or cookies at Christmas time???  Wouldn't they be adorable packaged up in this little glassine bag?  Let me tell you - these were so simple and easy to put together.  I took a piece of DSP from the Festival of Prints mini pack (isn't that the best?) and then let that decide my colors.  I do that often.  Grab DSP first and then decide what colors to work with.   This happens to be one of the "go-to" card sketches that I use all the time, and I just enlarged slightly for these little bags.  The focal point was stamped in both Lucky Limeade and Cherry Cobbler, then die cut.  I trimmed the Cherry colored one to fit, and popped it up.  I took a strip of Cherry Cobbler and embossed it and then cut it into a banner shape.  Topped with a strip of Lucky Limeade - that I used an edgelit on.  Glue on some buttons, voila!!!  Just need to fill with some yummy fudge. (my favorite!  Especially Black Walnut fudge!)


How do you wrap up your yummy treats to make them special???  Leave a comment and let me know!
