Happy Christmas! What a beautiful day to celebrate. Even though the
Annie's Paper Boutique store is closed through the remainder of 2023, we wanted to share Christmas projects on the
Trendy Twine blog. This is what I created...
I absolutely LOVED the rich colors and prints on the patterned paper. It was an impulse paper buy called Winter Berry by The Paper Studio. Of course, it matched the beautiful Holly Berry Trendy Twine perfectly! The scalloped layers were die cut with
GMD scalloped stitched rectangle dies. The sweet poinsettia was a
Hearthsewn cut file (#107506) from the Silhouette store. It was attached to the card with a gold brad. I glued 5 lengths of Holly Berry Trendy Twine to the area I planned to add the sentiment. The sentiment from the APB Merry Christmas stamp set was stamped with VersaMark and heat embossed with Wow! Metallic Gold Rich embossing powder. I added foam tape to the top and bottom of the sentiment strip to adhere it to the card. The final touch was adding Delightful Sequins.

These treats were created with Medium Candy Bags...yes, the ones that fit 7 Hershey's Nuggets in PERFECTLY! Who doesn't need a little chocolate treat in their lives?! I wrapped every other Nugget with patterned paper from The Paper Studio's Old World Winter paper pad. It had a vintage feel, just like the pre-printed tags. 1"x3" is the perfect size of paper to wrap Nuggets with. I prefer to use Glue Dots to adhere the paper to the wrapper. Once the bag was filled with candy, I used 2 strands of Candy Cane Trendy Twine and one strand of Holly Berry Trendy Twine to wrap around the length of the bag. Once the tag was slipped over the twine, I tied a bow with it. To prepare the tags, I added a Candy Cane Trendy Page Dot in a corner, punched a hole in the center, then adhered a stamped sentiment from the APB Let It Snow stamp set. For the first treat, I used the Deer & Friends Retro Tag.
For this treat, I used the North Pole Trading Company Vintage Inspired Tag. I did not add a stamped sentiment due to the large amount of writing already on it. 
The sweet It's Christmas Retro Tag was used on my third treat.
For the finat treat, I used the Jolly Snowman Retro Tag. Now I have a collection of Christmas goodies ready to gift!
