Well my friends Christmas is only 42 days away. While I do not really like to shop, I love making Christmas cookies and candies. One my my favorite things to make and give away at Christmas is homemade caramels.
Depending on the year, I will give my caramels away in hand-crafted boxes, such as the ones featured in this weeks Make it Monday and Weekly Wednesday videos. But I also enjoy making bag toppers and putting my wrapped caramels in one of our clear envelopes.
To create bag topper, begin with a 3 x 5-7/8 piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock and score in portrait position at 1½. Stamp a greeting of your choice, here I chose the Merry Christmas from Evergreen Elegance. I stamped it with VersaMark ink and heat embossed with some white embossing powder. I added a few snowflakes from Penguin Place. Sorry, no homemade caramels, yet, but soon!

Over the years I have made and given gallons of hot chocolate mix. This would be a cute way of packaging it.
Indeed! Thanks!
