Homemade Christmas Goodies

I love to make treats to give away to good friends, teachers, and co-workers.  This year I made Hot Chocolate Mix with a side of Peppermint Marshmallows.  Yum!

I did some "hybrid" work - using My Digital Studio and my traditional hands-on stamping supplies.










Tips & Tricks:

My Digital Studio Labels:  I used My Digital Studio to create the lid label and the label for the Peppermint Marshmallows.  Using the rulers and grid lines in MDS, you can easily create the exact size label you need.  For the lid I made my circle 2 1/2 inches so I could punch it out perfectly with the 2 1/2" circle punch.  For the Peppermint Marshmallow label, the smallest label shape from the digital download corresponds exactly with the Framelits dies.


Downloads used:  Home for the Holidays, Winter Wonders, Made from Scratch

Glassine Bags:  Part of the Petite Treats Bundle, so cute for gift giving!  I embossed mine with the Striped Embossing Folder.

Scentsational Season:  This stamp set and coordinating Framelit Die set are so perfect for decorating packages filled with homemade treats!

Hot Glue Gun:  I used a hot glue gun to adhere the doilies (purchased in the supermarket baking aisle) and other paper layers so they would not come off after being handled or shipped.
