Merry Wishes – Decorated Kraft Paperbag for Christmas Cookies

Everybody loves Christmas cookies! With Christmas right around the corner, I love to have several decorated kraft bags at hand to give my homemade cookies to family, friends or teachers. A pretty packaging makes the cookies taste even more delicious, doesn’t it?

Directions:

Step 1.

I started with stamping the stars on the paperbag with Versamark ink, added white embossing powder and heat set it with my heat tool.

Step 2.

I stamped the sentiment with black StazOn ink on transparenty film (the one you use for laser printers). I love StazOn, because it gives a super crisp impression on almost every surface. I trimmed the film to size to fit the window of the paperbag and adhered it inside with adhesive tape.

Step 3.

I stamped this beautiful snowflake with the Kaleidacolor rainbow inks – so easy to get a truly special effect. The little tag will be used to write a note for the person I’ll give the cookies to.

Step 4.

I gathered some pieces from my craft table, left-overs from other projects. The beautiful, delicate flower is a paper stencil from Heidi Swapp. I used it with Creative Medium metallic gold to create a mixed media background on one of my scrapbooking layouts. The clue is, that the stencil itself got colored as well and I can use it as a beautiful embellishment.
