Happy Bake and Decorate Month! This week at
Fantabulous Cricut, we're celebrating the month by creating a bake-themed project with our Cricut. I love to bake, and have a family that loves to eat my baking! I tend to stick to cookies and squares though. I wanted to create something to do with baking, but I challenged myself to connect it to some actual baking as well.
For those of you who have been following me for a while, you know that I do something I call "Lunchbox Loveletter Lundi" (lundi is French for Monday). I like to tuck little handmade cards and notes into the lunches of my family members. This week, each of my favourite people will get a pouch holding a cookie. I'd wanted to put two cookies in the pouches, but they just didn't fit!
I used Sesame Street Friends for this project. I cut the jar at 5.5 - first with the blackout feature, and then the top layer. I cut two of these for each pouch - with one flipped. I also cut out the letters to spell "COOKIES" and the little cookies for the top of the jar. I inked everything and also added some white pen dots. Once the front was all assembled and ready to go, I attached it to the flipped blackout, but left the top open in order to create a pouch.
I then cut tags using the cookie image at 2.5. This was also done using the blackout feature and then the next layer feature. I punched a little hole in each tag and attached some raffia, which I then tied around a baggie holding a freshly baked chocolate chip cookie.
Come on over to

Wow! Thank you very much Kate! I am thrilled to win the "It's the Thought stamp set"! I know I will use it a lot because is so versatile when you mask off either the sentiment or the image.
I'd love to see one of these goodies sitting in my lunch box...what a great way to start off the week!! TFS
