Welcome to the final day of 12 Days of Christmas with Brenda and Melanie! We are so happy you have hopped along with us to see some adorable projects. And today I am wrapping it up with a cute tag for a gift or treat.

My crafty friend Brenda Zorn, from Stamps & Stretchy Pants, and I have been sharing holiday inspiration through our 12 Days of Christmas, and today is the last day! This is our third year sharing with you and we hope you liked our adorable projects! We created them all using 2 main bundles, Homemade Treats and Gingerbread Man. They are both so stinkin’ cute! And by sharing so many projects using them, you will have tons of ideas for using your bundles!

Supplies used to create a treat bag using the Homemade Treats Bundle and party Banner Dies. Project created for the 12 Days of Christmas with Melanie and Brenda and also uses All Season Velvet Specialty Paper, Peppermint Embellishments and Real Red Shiny Ribbon.

#166017 Homemade Treats Bundle

Super Sweet Gifts

Nothing makes a little gift or treat better than tucking it in an adorable package. And today’s project is no exception. So easy, yet so fun. It’s colorful and will be sure to add extra sweetness to any treat you share.

Inside the bag, I placed some Pepperidge Farms Mint Milano cookies — YUM!!

Gift or treat tag made with the homemade treats Bundle and patterned tags dies for the 12 days of Christmas with Melanie Hockin and Brenda Nelson Zorn from Stamps and Stretchy Pants. Project originally created by Melanie Hockin of Mel's Inky Fingers.

These tags can be as simple or detailed as you choose to make them. I cut the base with the awesome Patterned Tags Dies. I love the detailed overlays you can cut, or you can keep the tags simple. After cutting the tags, I layered the adorable elements from the Homemade Treats Bundle stamped in a variety of colors.

It’s hard to see, but I placed the oven mitt on a Stampin’ Pierce Mat and used my Take Your Pick Tool to trace the quilting. This added some texture and dimension.

To Create This Project

  • Die cut the tag from Thick Basic White Cardstock using the Patterned Tags Dies
  • Stamp and die cut an assortment of elements from Basic White cardstock

Arrange elements on tag and adhere in place using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Stampin’ Seal. To get colored handles on the rolling pin, I inked the stamp in Crumb Cake, carefully wiped off the handles, then inked just the handles on the edge of a Real Red ink pad. I colored the hearts on the gingerbread men with a Real Red Stampin’ Blends Marker.

Thank You
