25 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS, DAY #18: Merry Snowfolk Cookie Bags...

Today's 25 Days of Christmas project is a cookie packaging idea that I am using for my Cherry Almond Cookies with Amaretto Icing for my Christmas Bunco.  It features the Gusseted Cellophane Bags that I stamped with the Snowflake Soiree stamp set and tied up with Sweater Trim – all from the Holiday Catalog.  It is perfect for cookie exchanges or for any food gifts as they are food-safe.  Of course, you could use it to package any gifts, not just food!

I used White StazOn Ink to stamp the bags.  It dries instantly, so it is wonderful for this project.  Here is a photo of the bag before I filled them:

I used the Two Tags Die for the tag and turned it into a snowman with the Stylin' Snowfolk stamp set accessories.  I started out with the tag on the right below, but then I realized that there were "girlie" eyelashes and mouth from the set that would be better suited for the Bunco ladies, so I chose lady snowman tags.  The best part is that they can use the tag as a bookmark long after the cookies are gone!  Here is a close-up of the Merry Snowfolk Tags.

And here is picture of the basket full of the ladies cookies, ready to go to my Bunco.
