If you'd like to purchase the templates, they can be found here -
Gingerbread Gift Bag
Starry Tree
Stack a Snowman
2014 Winter Bundle - all three templates with a $3.00 savings!!!


The Owner / designer, Adela, has drawn up 3 brand new holiday themed templates for us and ohh my are they darling!! Unfortunately, due to a slight injury to my hand (it's okay, nothing too big) I was unable to make 2 of the projects. Really ticks me off because I put a lot of effort into picking out just the right papers too!! I did get the little Ginger Bread House gift bag made and can't wait to show it to you so let's get started!



This little template comes with the basic house shape and all kinds of little add-ons like the gingerbread people, house trimmings and even some candies! I decided to keep mine kind of plain but I'd like to remake it using bright colors and make more of a candy house out of it. You could also leave off the gingerbread people and make it up in more traditional colors and add a few die cut images of fir trees and things for an elegant gift bag...lots of possibilities! I think I'm going to make a few more for cookie giving this year instead of buying those expensive tins to put my cookies in.

Like I mentioned before, there are 2 more brand new templates. I couldn't make them but I do have pictures of the ones Adela, the owner & designer of Creations By AR made. - A DARLING little stacked box snowman and a Pretty little tree to hide a treat in. Wouldn't the tree be perfect with an electric tea light in it if you didn't set it over the little base? 

How cute are these templates...don't ya just love them!?!?!? I can't wait to make them.
