Welcome to the second to last day of the My Creative Time "12 Days of Christmas"! I can't believe it's almost over, but all of the projects I've made are making me feel pretty ready for Christmas at this point! If you arrived here from Jeanne, then you are headed in the right direction. If not, please start at Emma's blog here.
The other day I watched a One Charming Party video on My Craft Channel, in which they were making Sugar Cookie Truffles. They looked really yummy, and I couldn't wait to give them a try! These are a spin on cake pops, but you mix crumbled sugar cookies with a little bit of cream cheese for the center. I used the recipe that I found here. I actually found these easier to make than cake pops. For mine, I used homemade sugar cookies, but you can use store-bought ones (that have no sprinkles or frosting on them) or the refrigerated dough as well.
Since I wanted to share some of these with some special crafty friends, I made a couple of gift boxes using the Cricut Sweet Tooth Boxes cartridge. I cut the box and lid at 6 3/4" and adhered a 3 3/4" square of clear cardstock to the inside of the lid.
To make my tag, I used Emma's Curly Label Die and stamped the coordinating frame from Inspiring Words {Accents} stamp set. The sentiments are from Emma's All Around Christmas stamp set. I punched a small hole in the tag and tied it, along with a jingle bell, to the twine wrapped around the box.
This was a really quick gift card holder, since I was running out of time when I made it. But I love how anything you make with Emma's Embossed Gift Card Holder comes out looking so professional! The paper I used was single sided, so I distressed the white side with brown ink to give it a different look. "Merry Christmas" is from Emma's Gift Card Sentiments stamp set. Since the gift card inside was for Hobby Lobby, I just had to add this sentiment from Paper Princess, stamped onto an oval made with Emma's Stitched Oval Die.
