Hello everyone,

today I'm introducing you to this year's Black Friday exclusive mini stamp set. It's called Christmas Cookies and part of the ongoing promo (find all details in the graphic below).

Of course I had to turn these cuties into gingerbread cookies and build them a little gingerbread house. For that I used the Sweet Treat Bag Dies along with the Sweet Treat House Add-on Dies.

I die cut the bag base from brown cardstock, inked the edges and added ink splatters with a paint brush. The roof was cut from cream cardstock and I applied sparkly Crystal Stickles to the scalloped edges. It also creates the flap to close the bag and I sticked a small piece of Velcro underneath to keep it shut. I decorated the door with a fir wreath to create a festive look. I thought the pink die-cut borders (Heartstrings Border Dies and Slimline Basic Border Dies) would make perfect little decor elements, too.

Next, I stamped the gingerbread cookies in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut out the images and adhered them with foam tape. I stamped the heart twice in VersaMark Ink and did some heat embossing with white embossing powder.

Finally, I white heat embossed the sentiment onto a pink cardstock banner and popped it up with foam tape.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Wishing you a sweet day!

Sunny Studio Stamps • Winter Release • Sweet Treat Bag

Hi everyone,

I have one more Sunny Studio Stamps Winter Release project to share with you using the Sweet Treat Bag Dies. This set is so much fun! I love the size and the different looks of gift bags you can create.

I went with a closed version using the semi-circle top flap and picked patterned papers from the Holiday Cheer 6x6 Paper (polka dots, stripes) and Very Merry 6x6 Paper pack (grid). The bag will hold some tea, so the cute mouse in the mug from the Merry Mice set was the perfect match. I stamped the mouse and little cupcake from the Party Pups set in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored the images with Copic Markers.

Next, I die cut a stitched circle from the pink grid paper and matted it with a green cardstock circle which is slightly bigger. I popped up the mouse image with foam tape. The sentiment is included in the Foxy Christmas set. I stamped it in VersaMark Ink and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. Finally, I added a red die-cut heart to the mug and three White Pearls below the sentiment.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have an amazing day!
