Our Red Hat Stampers group had  a fun Chrismas dinner on Wednesday night.  Although it was frigid outside, we had a delicious dinner and a truly lovely evening.  In addition to cards & gifts that we exchanged, I gave each of the ladies and additional small treat.

It is always fun to include a little extra treat for all of those special occasions.  These are so quick & easy to make.  I cut an 8" x almost 2" piece of Cherry Cobbler Card Stock and punched both ends with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch. After scoring this strip at 3-3/4" & 4=1/4", I attached 2 Ghirardelli Chocolate Squares.  Glue Dots are definitely your best friend for this.

Stamp the gingerbread ladies found in the Cookie Cutter Christmas Stamp Set with Early Espresso Ink & punch out with the Cookie Cutter Builder Punch.  Also, stamp the cute little bow from the same stamp set with Cherry Cobbler Ink & punch out with the Cookie Cutter Builder Punch. Adhere the bow to the Gingerbread with a Stampin' Dimensional & the gingerbread to the holder with Stampin' Dimensional.

Stamp the sentiment from Cookie Cutter Christmas with Early Espresso Ink & trim to size.  Adhere this to the holder with with Fast Fuse. Loop any ribbon through the top and tie off with a piece of Whisper White Baker's Twine.  Add some sparkle to the ladies with a few Rhinestones for buttons.  definitely a quick & fun addition for any occasion!
