Merry Everything, including Cafe Gift Bags!

I don't know about you, but I love baking during the holidays.  Cookies, candied orange peel, fudge, mmm......I may have to start early.  The new Petite Cafe Gift Bags in the Holiday Mini Catalog are perfect for those homemade cookies or other fun treats.  The bags are lined and food safe with a great closure to keep your treats fresh.  The bags can be stamped, or as I show here, embossed and sponged.

The tags are made with the Merry Everything stamp set and Note Tag Punch.  The bag was run through the Big Shot with the Northern Flurry embossing folder (perfect for Christmas).  About 2 cups of animal crackers fit in this bag.  

Here's a close up of the tag which was colored with markers.   The new Olive Two-Tone Trim is perfect with the bags.  I used a little of the Baked Brown Sugar Thick Baker's Twine to tie the tag to the bow.  Two Cherry Cobbler tags were overlapped behind the image to make a layered tag.

These were some extra tags from the same stamp set.
