Since I just decided a week or so ago to start posting again, I unfortunately missed a lot of my favorite season…autumn! Until winter rolls around, that is..then I’ll be all about the snow and cold. I’m pretty fickle. Anyway, before everyone starts tinseling and twinkly-lighting for Christmas, I wanted to share a cute packaging idea, and a link to the recipe for the yummy cookies inside.
During our time at home over the last seven months, I discovered a fun stamping supply site, Simon Says Stamp. They’re a small company, but did their best to get stamps and other goodies out as soon as possible, with Covid precautions, once their state opened back up a little. I appreciated that, so have happily continued to throw some crafting funds their way. They have a really fun subscription box each month, and the stamp set I used here was from that October kit…but you can order just the components, too, and not have to get the whole kit. If you don’t want all the fabulous things in there, that is. Everything else I used is from Stampin’ Up!.
I cut some Plaid Tidings Designer Series paper in the same shape as a white cardstock tag I had on hand, and adhered that to give the DSP some body. I stamped the “Happy Fall Y’all” in Cajun Craze and punched out those cute little leaves from Bumblebee and Cajun Craze using the Autumn Punch Pack. I also fussy cut the pumpkin and squash from a piece of DSP. That’s about my limit for fussy cutting…no patience for it! It’s kind of hard to see, but they’re gilded along the edges…so pretty! It just took a couple of minutes to adhere all those embellishments, popping up a few just for interest.
I always keep some of these little bakery bags (they’re waxed) with a window in my gift wrapping stash, and they’re the perfect size for some Orange Cornmeal Sandies. After I put about a dozen in the bag, as I folded it shut, I folded in a piece of Bumblebee ribbon and Braided Linen trim to attach the tag.
It’ll be a fun and tasty treat to drop off to my neighbor who is so very generous with her cooking talents! Last week she brought us little pumpkin-shaped breads with pumpkin-cream cheese filling…they were delicious! Maybe I’ll try to wrangle that recipe from her for a future post….
Until next time, I hope you’re having a great week, and taking some time to breathe!!
We miss your “good neighbor” packages. These are so cute.
Glad you found Simon Says, they’re great. Have you discovered Ellen Hudson yet? They’re up in Issaquah and carry much of the same as SSS, but they’re a bit faster shipping—often delivering in just a day or two.
Glad to see you blogging again. Always looked forward to your posts. Say hi to the hubs and the kids. Stay safe and healthy.
So good to hear from you! Hope y’all are well. I’ll have to check out Ellen Hudson. Thanks for the tip!
