Today I have a little christmas gift to share.
I was trying to think of something to make as a little gift to give to those people whom I don't officially buy gifts for at Christmas. I was browsing Pinterest and saw Hershey's Kisses scattered down the centre of wedding tables as favours. On the bottom were labels with the the names of the bridal couple and the date of the wedding. I took this another step and thought how cute would that be as a christmas gift, with christmas images on the bottom.
I used the little mini stamps that came with Gerda's Rubber Christmas Stamps. I stamped and coloured them, then cut circles of red card 7/8 " and punched the stamp using a 3/4" punch and layered them together. They fit perfectly on the bottom of the Kisses.
They of course needed to go into something. Discovering I only had 4 cellophane bags left, a quick trip to the Dollar Outlet Store was required. I found these gorgeous red and white bags in the "new" Party Supplies section, a pack of 6 for $3.00. Thought they would be nicer than the cellophane bags so bought 4 packets, (not that I will use them all this year), these spots and a red and white stripe.
So now a tag to decorate the bag. I used Gerda Steiner Designs Snowman stamp as my main feature. The little birdie comes as part of the set and I die cut a bird house and popped him on there. Added lots of embellishments and there you have it !!! A lovely little inexpensive christmas gift.

Adorable tag and the kisses are such an awesome touch! So cute!
These are adorable! I have saved some vintage images from the Graphics Fairy for just the same thing, but these would be more fun to stamp & color!
