Our Red Hat Stampers group had a fun Chrismas dinner on Wednesday night. Although it was frigid outside, we had a delicious dinner and a truly lovely evening. In addition to cards & gifts that we exchanged, I gave each of the ladies and additional small treat.
It is always fun to include a little extra treat for all of those special occasions. These are so quick & easy to make. I cut an 8" x almost 2" piece of Cherry Cobbler Card Stock and punched both ends with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch. After scoring this strip at 3-3/4" & 4=1/4", I attached 2 Ghirardelli Chocolate Squares. Glue Dots are definitely your best friend for this.
Stamp the gingerbread ladies found in the Cookie Cutter Christmas Stamp Set with Early Espresso Ink & punch out with the Cookie Cutter Builder Punch. Also, stamp the cute little bow from the same stamp set with Cherry Cobbler Ink & punch out with the Cookie Cutter Builder Punch. Adhere the bow to the Gingerbread with a Stampin' Dimensional & the gingerbread to the holder with Stampin' Dimensional.
Stamp the sentiment from Cookie Cutter Christmas with Early Espresso Ink & trim to size. Adhere this to the holder with with Fast Fuse. Loop any ribbon through the top and tie off with a piece of Whisper White Baker's Twine. Add some sparkle to the ladies with a few Rhinestones for buttons. definitely a quick & fun addition for any occasion!
Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

These are so cute & delicious filled with chocolate.
Ah what a sweet treat! I wonder if the little top hat in the penguin and snowman set would fit on the gingerbread people? You could cut them out of the red glimmer paper and really make the treat holders shine! Just a silly thought! I bet you had a great time. Are you going to share photos of other home made cards and gifts? I love your sentiment on these. What a great little treat holder!
Love these!!
Now you have me wondering too Chris! They sure would be cute! I would like to make more but I dont know if I will get to it. It has been very cold here and now a storm is moving into the area. Hope things are going better for you. What a trooper you are to still walk Ted. When your feet and legs hurt it just makes it difficult to have a positive attitude. Hope it gets better soon and that the doctor can help you.
