Oh Hello! Yes it’s Friday…. which at the moment means a Christmas Countdown project with some fabulous Home Baking!!!! I LOVE all things crafty, and while I don’t get chance to bake as much as I would like to…. I LOVE to get in the kitchen and get covered in flour! This week I have a fabulous cookie recipe to share with you, and a fun papercraft project too!
I was thinking about those of you that do Craft Fairs and Charity events for these…. I am sure you’re not about to gift a single cookie to someone as a Christmas Present! (or maybe you would!) and so a quick and easy way to pack Cookies is always handy.
The cello bags are of course from Stampin’ Up!…. did you know that I sell these?! they are awesome! Stampin’ Up! have a great range of sizes of cello bags, from these little ones great for a medium sized cookie, to ones that are the perfect size for cards… to some huge gusseted ones that could hold a bottle of something nice!
Click the link above for the video….. I don’t know what has happened with my videos here on my blog recently… one minute they are HUGE and the next they are just a link! lol
These bag toppers are really quick and easy to put together…. I have combined two stamp sets: Snowflake Sentiments and the Labeller Alphabet to create these. Check the video for all the details!
