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!

The other flower is unusual too… it uses that Fine Tip Glue Masking technique again! Yes I am obsessed! This flower is also die cut out and added to the card with a dimensional.
Seeing as it was a special occasion I stamped the anchor on the inside… and on the envelope too!
Then the next day I added a watercolour wash over the top in Tranquil Tide ink. The leaves covered in the glue remain white as the glue acts as a mask.
