Christmas Treat Bag Topper
Jill here with a treat for you on this fine Tuesday. With Christmas coming, I know Thanksgiving isn’t even here yet but nothing beats planning ahead, right?! I’m participating in a cookie exchange and need 20 half dozen bags of a non-traditional cookie. Along with the goodies we were asked to bring the recipe. So I created bag toppers with the recipe right on top. For good measure I had to toss a little digi goodness in there too.
I measured the bags that I was going to be using and they are 4.5 inches wide so I opened Photoshop and created a new image measuring 4.5″ wide and 4″ tall. I then drew a guide at 2″ so that I would know which portion needed to be ‘upside’ down. I then started looking through my digital files. Instead of looking only at the specific Christmas things I decided to use some things from Sugarplum Paperie’s Midnight Garden Party kit. To make the plaid feel a bit more Christmasy, using the magic wand I selected the pink and changed the hue/saturation and adjust the color until it was a bit more red. I did the same for the ribbon. Once I had everything where I felt it looked best I printed them out. I rolled down the tops of the bags and stapled the topper right on. Much easier than hand writing 20 recipes!
Stay tuned later this week, we might just have some incentive for you to share what you can do to add something to a treat!
