My daughter is always getting treats in the mail from her friends, and she had an extra bag of these Werther Caramel Apple filled Candy Treats.
So, I asked her if I could have some to create a gift for a friend. Of course, she said yes!
I decided to make a gift tag to go with these yummy candies. I used my Silhouette CAMEO® to cut a tag, and also a Happy Candy Apple Shape. I don’t have a lot of really good colored papers, so I just used a basic Ivory Cardstock from DiscountCardstock.com and colored it with ink and Copic Markers.
I stamped the large tag with a chicken coop stamp and Gray Flannel Memento™ Dye Ink. I picked this up from a garage sale, and I’m really not sure where it came from – I suspect it is a Stampin’ Up! stamp. I distressed the edges with Peanut Brittle and more of the Gray Flannel Dye Ink.
I cut a smaller tag, and I also cut an offset outline to use as a stencil. You can see the file below, and how it was used.
I finished it up with an Apple Button and some Twine.
Cute? It’s all about the presentation.
