Scrumptious Chocolate Covered Pretzels

Many years around this time, my Mom and start making chocolate covered pretzels to give away as Christmas gifts. This year we made double chocolate pretzels and salted caramel pretzels. Let me tell you these are so delicious, you will not be able to stop at just one! Yum!

We adorned each bag with a scrumptious tag using the second tag framelit from the Here's to Cheers Bundle.

The Cherry Cobbler curly die looks like frosting. The mini jingle bell grouping really set the Christmas spirit too!

I added a Whisper White mat to the inside of the card. I took a scrap and lined it up with the bottom section of the tag framelit and ran it through the Big Shot Machine.

Next I stamped the tag with the to and love images in Early Espresso ink. What a great idea to have love instead of just from!

For the bottom border, I cut a 3/4" by 4" piece of Candy Cane Lane Designer Series Paper (DSP). To make sure the DSP lined up exactly on the tag, I also partially die cut this piece. I placed the DSP underneath the bottom portion of the tag die and ran it through the Big Shot Machine. It comes out the perfect width and with rounded corners.

CASE-ing the Catty: Gingerbread Christmas

The project samples in the Holiday Catalog are fabulous! I could not help but recreate this sweet gingerbread man Christmas card from page 4. Isn't he adorable?!?

This card was quick and easy to make. Here's how I did it. You will need Crumb Cake, Real Red,  and Whisper White cardstock and Candy Cane Lane Designer Series Paper (DSP). Cut the paper to size according to the chart below.

Gingerbread Cookie Christmas Card Measurements
	Color	Dimensions
Card Base	Crumb Cake	5-1/2” x 8-1/2”
1st Layer	Candy Cane Lane DSP	3-3/4” x 5-1/4”
Greeting Rectangle	Whisper White	1-1/2” x 4”
Gingerbread Man	Whisper White	3” x 2”
Heart Buttons	Real Red	2” x 2”
Inside Layer	Whisper White	4” x 5-1/4”

Adhere the Candy Cane Lane DSP to the Crumb Cake cardbase.

Then stamp your greeting with Early Espresso ink on the Whisper White rectangle. Stamp the gingerbread man with Crumb Cake ink on a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and punch him out.

Punch two hearts from Real Red cardstock and glue over the gingerbread man's buttons. Add dimensionals to the back of the gingerbread man.

Adhere the gingerbread man and the greeting rectangle to the card base.

Finally, tie a piece of Candy Cane Lane Baker's Twine around the left side of the card base. Your card is ready for giving!
