Jars of Candy?

With a little inspiration from Pinterest I came up with a clever way to give gift cards this year! I filled some canning jars with the recipients favorite candy. Concealed in the middle of the candy was a little baggie holding a gift card. At first the recipient thought they were only getting a jar of candy which made it entertaining! They were pleasantly surprised when they discovered the card inside!

You will recognize the snowmen 3D tags from this previous post here. On the back I stamped who they were to and from and I included the year so that the tag could be used as a tree ornament.

Snowmen 3D tags

Heart 2 Heart Challenges blog is all about Christmas creations this week. This is the second Christmas challenge this year! The designers have come up with some wonderful projects this week, you will have to stop by and see their art! For my project today I was inspired by some tags I saw on the Papertrey Ink blog made my Heather Nichols. Instead of a flat tag though, I thought how cool it would be to add some CTMH treat cups for a 3D effect! Now these cute little snowmen are in a winter wonderland!

The ornament was cut on the Art Philosophy cartridge in Kraft paper. I then embossed them with a variety of embossing folders. It's hard to tell in the photo, but the snowmen are colored in, glittered, and have snowflakes surrounding them within the treat cup.

When my daughter saw them she said, "Mom, after you use them as a tag, you could put them on the tree as an ornament!", and I was like... "Yeah, that's what I totally was thinking!!" {tee-hee} Goodness do I love that little girl, she's my biggest fan!
