Blogger Challenge: Week 234

This week’s blogger challenge theme is “tie it up.” I made a sweet little holiday gift set that’s the perfect little token for friends who like to bake.

I picked up an inexpensive seasonal cookie cutter, a set of measuring spoons, and a wooden mixing spoon and “tied” them up with a coordinating tag. The tag is die cut from red cardstock with the large die from the Tags 1 die set from Clear and Simple Stamps. To match the cookie cutter, I used a snowflake punch to cut a snowflake shape from the center of the tag, then backed it with a piece of shimmery silver paper. Between that and the clear crystal I added to the center of the flake, the tag has a pretty sparkle. The “celebrate the season” sentiment (free with any purchase from the CSS online store before the end of the year!) is stamped underneath the flake in silver ink. I used matching red satin ribbon to tie all of the pieces together.

Materials Used:
Let’s Celebrate (limited edition) stamp set, Dare to Be a Diva Red cardstock, Dare to Be a Diva Red satin ribbon, Tags 1 die (Clear and Simple Stamps); silver paper, clear crystal (Recollections); snowflake punch (Martha Stewart)
