Glassine cookie bag gifts

I made some homemade spritz cookies and wanted a way to give these buttery goodies so I used a glassine bag to put them in and then added a simple ornament tag I made with spellbinders dies and a candy cane.They were very fast and simple to do.I almost forgot I added a little sparkle with a rhinestone.
  Thanks for stopping and I hope this give you a fun and fast idea to wrap up some buttery treats of your own.

 I fell in love with Raisin Boats Holiday stamp set # 10259 Night Before Christmas. It is a fun set with a cute little saying you just need to check out for your self.
      I stamped the circle saying with Grey flannel momento ink and then the Reindeer Poop with Love Letters Momento ink.I die cut it with a spellbinder circle die and then I cut a red mat with a scalloped circle. I stamped the frame with Love Letters red ink on the blue card stock. and die cut it with an spellbinder oval die and again a red scalloped mat to put behind it.I added some small star brads I had on each side of the circle.I adhered all the layers; putting foam tape under the blue layers to give it some dimension.  I filled small clear cellophane bags with malted milk balls and then used red line tape to attach the tag to the filled bag.
    I almost forgot that I added some sparkle to the border with a glitter get pen and the red words with a Glitter liner.They don't show up to good on the picture but it really adds a fun sparkle to this project.
   I made these for my grand nieces and nephews for a little Christmas treat. I really like the red with the light blue paper kind of different but fun!
   Go check out some of the other fun stamp sets Raisin Boat came up with for the Holidays!

A Christmas Challange card

I was inspired to do this card by a Gena K Christmas card challenge that you had to have a shaped card.So I used my nestabilities to make this tree card that fit into a slash folder.
1- I stamped the houses on a scrap of ivory paper and then colored it with copic markers.
2- I then die cut 2 tree's and the folder.I took the one tree I had cut and then used a oval nestability to cut a window in the card.
3- I put the houses behind the window and sewed them in place around the oval opening.I used a sponge to edge the tree.
4- I embossed snowflakes on the slash folder with white embossing powder.
5- I stamped the saying and die cut it and the mat with a rectangle nestability and then attached it to the front of the folder.

From cereal box to ornament/card

1. I stamped my image and colored it with copic markers.
2. I die cut it with my tree nestibilities.
3. I cut another tree from a cereal box.
4. I cut the back from a printed paper.( be sure to cut it upside down so the print will fit on the tree when turned print out and glued to the back of the ornament.
5. I used a sponge to ink up the edges of the tree front and back.
6. I added some diamond stickles to the snowman and star.
7. I die cut the slash folder card holder with an accucut die.
8. I stamped snowflakes ( Rupa's from Gena K designs) and embossed them with white embossing powder.
9. I die cut the snowflake ( spellbinders) I also embossed it with a cuttlebug embossing folder for some texture.I did this with the blue stipe of paper also.
   I stamped the saying ( Gena K) and embossed it with white embossing powder also.
   
10. I layered everything and attached it to the slash folder.I then added some diamond stickles on a few spots on the snowflakes for some sparkle.

Gena K Blog Hop Cards

I used a cuttlebug embossing folder on the green mat and then gently rubbed white brilliance ink on the raised snowflakes. I used copic markers to color the image.

I used Rupa's Winter Friends stamp set again for this card.Used a snowflake border embossing folder to do the blue snowflakes. I also rubbed white brilliance ink on top of them to make them stand out more.The house and tree were colored wtih Copic markers and cut with spellbinders die's. The colors are outside the box for me but I have been seeing so much of the pastels this year I had to try it. I like the results! You can see more ideas if you go to Gena K's Blog there will be links to lots of other blogs.Thanks for looking and have fun blog hopping.
