Have a Hap Hap Happy Holiday!

Hi everyone..
I wanted to share with you today some super fast but adorable treat holders you can whip up fast for the upcoming holiday season!

Holiday treat tags!!
I made one as a framed tag and the other as a shaker tag so you can see the variations of what you can do with these fun stamps and dies!

Here are 2 treat tag ideas for 2 totally different holidays! First is NEW YEARS and then Christmas! As you can see.. same concept, but you can get 2 totally different looks and effects!
They both use the Treat Tag Die and the Holiday Treat Tag stamp set. What I love about this stamp set is that you get FOUR treat tags stamps.. New Years, 2 Christmas, & Thanksgiving.
I had some Sticky back glitter foam and cut out several treat tag dies in Chipboard to get the desired thickness I wanted and needed. Then I cut one from the foam as well to frame it.
I then Tied the treat tags to the 1 X 6 tube holders and filled with kisses!

I wanted the classic look of New Years so made this in Black, White and Silver.

I cut some fun Stars in the giltter foam as well.

I had some pretty silver ribbon and added some Doodlebug Washi to the end of the tube.

On the Christmas Treat Tag.. the concept was the same as the other, except MORE layers so that I could add a top layer of acetate and add doodlebug sequins for a shaker tag!

Again I wrapped some fun washi to the end of the tube.

You can see in the top right corner of my tag, the chipboard layers.. its about 1/8"-1/4" thick.

I hope this inspires you to make your own fun tags this holiday season! Add them to treat or even just as package toppings. There are so many fun uses for them, you will be on a roll once you get started!

And now for my project!

Today I decided to make cute Sally, Charlie Brown's little sister!

I placed Sally on the Tree Tube holder and sized her so that it looks as if she is reaching to add another ornament to the decorated tree.

I tied it off with some red twine. The 1 X 6 tube is filled with rolos and the sentiment is from Christmas Wishes stamped on a die from Halloween Dies.
