Baking Cookies -- Cookie Packaging!! (recipe links included)

Hey Crafty Friends!!  This week has been crazy to say the least.  Lots of cookie baking and package mailing to family far and near.  Plus, cleaning house getting ready for our Sailor to come home for a week.

Back to baking, every Christmas holiday I like to bake biscotti and ginger cookies.  I made 4 batches of Spring Biscotti, substituting pecans for pistachios, we have lots of pecans in Texas.  I  tried a new recipe Vanilla Biscotti -- so yummy.  Then there was one batch of Peppermint Biscotti , a batch of Cinnamon Sugar Biscotti, and a new Gingerbread Biscotti that was hard as a rock, but tasted great after dipping in hot tea.  My house smelled so good.  Oh, yes there is one more, my all time favorite Better Homes and Gardens Giant Ginger Cookies -- I love these cookies.

Most Wonderful Time Christmas Card -- Product Medley Retiring Soon!!

Hello Crafty Friends!!! Today I am sharing a quick card from the Most Wonderful Time Product Medley.  This is the only medley in the Aug - Dec Mini Catalog.  Also, it is retiring on 4 January 2021, so right now you can buy this medley at a 20% discount ($56.00 vice original price of $70.00).  That is a steal.  So what is in a Product Medley-- everything you need to create wonderful cards, scrapbooking pages or 3-d projects, except ink, cardstock and envelopes.  


Most Wonderful Time Product Medley 
# 150705 - On-Sale Now






Card Instructions    

  • Paper Measurements
    • Old Olive card base 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", score and fold at 4 1/4", plus scrap
    • Old Olive layer 5 1/4" x 4"
    • Most Wonderful Time DSP layer 2" x 5 1/4"
    • Whisper White 3" x 3"
  • Assembly
    • Use glue to attach DSP to Old Olive 5 1/4" x 4" layer.  
    • Apply very thin layer of glue where the DSP and CS meet and then attach Gold/White Tinsel Trim. Then fold trim ends behind layer and secure with Stampin' Seal.  
    • Stamp sentiment with Mossy Meadow ink and attach Old Olive layer to card base with dimensionals.  
    • Stamp one tree in center of 3" x 3" Whisper White CS, and stamp a tree on each side of first tree, be sure to stamp off.  
    • Die cut Whisper White CS with Stitched Dies circle and attached to card front with dimensionals.  
    • Stamp small tree in Old Olive ink onto Old Olive CS scrap and die cut, then attach with dimensionals to stamped trees covering center tree. 
    • Add desired number of Elegant Faceted Gems. 
    • All Done!



Tip: Because of the twisted nature of the Gold/White Tinsel trim, I chose to secure it to the card front with a very thin strip of glue.  I laid the glue down at the top of the DSP where it transitions to CS.  The Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue is perfect for this job.  It is my favorite adhesive.
