PTI December Blog Hop

*Note: this is my second post for today. 

Please scroll down to see my post for this week's Case Study.

It's time once again for Papertrey Ink's monthly blog hop.

This month's challenge was "Tied Up with String."

Since I hosted my husband's family for supper yesterday, I decided to have some fun with the place settings.

To start, I had bought a mould to use for making almond bark.

I wrapped a piece for everyone in clear plastic wrap and then slid them into white paper bags.

I tied each bag up with some red & white baker's twine and added a tag.

Each tag was made using pure poppy card stock & the Tag Sale 7 die.

Then I used the stamps and dies from Two Feet Deep to decorate them.

(Since most of the family spent a few hours in the afternoon cross-country skiing, this set seemed appropriate.)

And, for each person's name, I used a Wplus9 banner die with true black card stock, on which

I stamped with PTI's Antique Alphabet stamp set in versa mark and heat embossed in white.

I made four tags with skis....

Four with snowshoes...

And four with sleds....

Thanks for looking!
