Today I’m sharing a super quick and easy treat idea. I stamped directly onto a Santa’s Bag using the Candy Cane Season stamp set and Real Red ink. It isn’t waterproof, but as long as it stays dry it’s makes a great little gift. I cut the tag using the Everyday Label Punch, and tied it onto the bag using Garden Green Baker’s Twine.
Here’s what I made:
Here’s what I did:
Stamped with the Candy Cane Season stamp set:

Today I’m sharing a fun little Takeout Treat Box I made for a group of stampers at my retreat last month. I used the Takeout Thinlits Dies to cut the box out of Broadway Bound Specialty Designer Series Paper. I tied a piece of Basic Black Solid Twine around the box, and the finishing touch is a little wooden element I painted with Vegas Gold Shimmer Paint, adhered using a Mini Glue Dot. Easy peasy quick and easy!
Here’s what I made:

Correction: I later realized that I cut the trees with the Christmas Staircase Thinlits Dies instead of the In the Woods Framelits Dies. They both have a tree and I just forgot which one I used by the time I wrote this blog post. Either one would work great on this card. You can get the set I actually used here: Christmas Staircase Thinlits Dies (144679) 20 dies for $39. Here’s the Year-End Closeout!
