ABC Friday ~ Lookie What I Made x 2!…
A few weeks ago I was asked if I wanted to participate in the Bella Blog Hop, Skip and Jump. I love Emily and all that Bella offers, so it was pretty much a no brainer! Our challenge was to create a holiday treat holder. No one ever said which holiday, so I went with Halloween. I chose to do one of Jody’s Boxy-Bags {genius coming up with this cute lil’ template, I tell ya!!}. I chose Little Witchy for my image and colored her in with my Copics. I am lovin’ the new bat punch from Martha Stewart and punched them out in black and then covered them with black Stickles. The charm at the top is actually a bat jingle bell that I picked up at Wal-Mart last year.
I picked up the black and white candy at Target. They are like skull and bone runts that taste all fruity!
Be sure to check out the other gals playing along in the Bella Blog Hop, Skip and Jump…

Last, but certainly not least, I have one of the coolest things I have ever done in stamping to show you! I have been sitting on this project for weeks and I am so excited that I **finally**get to show you!! It’s a stamp on a cookie!! Are you rolling your eyes at me? LOL! Well, I had fun doing it and am proud to show it off. But first, the outside of the wooden bag that it is in…
Detail shot…
The cookie fresh out of the oven…
In a cello bag with a cute little tag…
That cute little tag that I just mentioned…
How did I do it? I put a Pillsbury sugar dough roll in the freezer for about 30-45 minutes, so I when I sliced through, it would be hard. I then stamped on the cookie with Brilliance Graphite Black ink and cooked per the instructions on the cookie dough packaging. Is it safe? Well, the ink pad says Non-toxic, but I wouldn’t go off and eat dozens of these. Apparently one won’t hurt. I’ve been told that I have always been this strange and it not a side effect of eating inky cookies. Head on over to the TCP site to see the three new Clearly Swanky sets just released!
I think that this is one of my fave posts ever. I hope you enjoyed it, too. Tomorrow is Tony’s and my 5th anniversary. I made my Sketch For You To Try card special for him. See ya then!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!! Mine was the 15th of this month. I love this project. It is adorable but alas my boys are too old for something of this nature. I don’t think my 14 year old son would appreciate these cookies. It is super cute!
Those are AWESOME!!!!
Happy Anniversary, btw!
Wow!!! I love both of your projects you shared. Your pirate cookie is such a unique idea! I would never to think to stamp on cookies. I really love, love, love your witchy goody bag. So cute!!!! TFS!
This is all so cute Jen. Each gift is great, and perfectly detailed. I always wanted to stamp on cookies, but figured I’d get a million emails asking about the safety
They look adorable.
Your little treat bag is adorable!!! I love how you colored her so dark and pretty!!
I absolutely love the TCP pirate project. It’s always fun to see what you come up with. (love the way your mind works!)
Stamping on a cookie?! How fun! Gotta get some of that skull and crossbones candy, too.
Happy Anniversary I celebrated 8 years earlier this month. Great projects love them!
These are supah cute, Jen!! You rock, sistah!
TOTALLY am in love with your wooden box project. You did a fabulous job on it. I’m in the process of doing 6 of them - they are sure fun. I really love what you did. Fun, fun, fun.
Lovin the box/bag idea..Great idea! love the black and white candy…too cute. Target’ always has the cutest stuff. Love both projects. Have a super weekend.
Totally cute, Jen! Love your Bella bag/box with those adorable skull/bones runts! And stamping on a cookie… you’re just too clever!
Both projects are adorable and perfectly embellished as always!!
Hey Jen, great boxes… love the image and love those cookies too.
I’ll let you know if it works on fresh made.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY in case I don’t remember tomorrow.

OMG, that is fantastic! I would stamp and eat those cookies-I am crazy like that too! Great projects!!
Awwwwww, that is SO SO SO cute! I LOVE it, Jen!
Jen, that cookie idea is GENIUS!!! This post is one of my favorites too!!
Happy Anniversary
Happy Anniversary! Those bags are adorable - I like the Halloween one the best though. Halloween is such a fun holiday, I think. Now I want to go back some cookies.
BAKE some cookies, I mean.
Super cute - love the colors for the box (I was going to do something Halloween but changed my mind at the last minute!!) and your coloring rocks!
Your work is beautiful! I’ve stamped on food before but I use food coloring and a new uninked stamp pad. Just an alternative.
Wow! Two fabulous projects!!! Love your little green witch and the bats!! And geez…a cookie!! Love it and the tag!
Love the projects!! You can also use food coloring to stamp with!!!!! and even add sugar spinkles before it dries!!!
These are so cute, but especially the pirate. I would have LOVED to have this for my sons pirate party last weekend… Drat! I think there can never be enough pirate stamps in the world. and I love stamping on cookies! I think you could do it on frosting too. I think they have edible kinds. (and yes with food coloring) I think i must visit the cake store up the street to check it out. Thanks for the inspiration!
Wow - talk about a unique application for a stamping technique. Very cool.
Jen, your bag/box and the way you coloured witchie is fabulous. Love your work

Oh my word, I love these projects. They’re both awesome!! ….I need to look for those black and white candies at Target. Too cool. Love the bat punch with the stickles too. Yeah, okay, so I love it ALL!
These are BOTH fabulous–beautifully colored, clever, creative–you ROCK, Jen!
hi jen!!! the treat bag is fantastic - gorgeous coloring but the cookie OH MY!!! i am SO doing that - my hubby and boys are gonna have me committed………LMAO!!!
My husband and I celebrated on 9th Thursday! Happy aniversary to you! TFS the inky cookie tip, too cute! I love your coloring on the withcy card especially!
This is just too adorable! I love the stamped cookie. My sons would be all over that one. Thanks for sharing!
the witch is just too cute, love the coloring and the other box and tags are really neat too!
ADORABLE!!! Love the witch’s treat bag…it’s too darn CUTE!!!
Thank you for sharing your projects!
Smiles, Sheri
Everything is so stinkin’ cute!! Fantastic!!!!
Great projects… FYI thought you might like to know that there are markers available that are edible in the cake decorating sections that you could probably use instead of ink! Also… where do you find that boxy bag tutorial… that is fabulous.
–cheers
Your coloring on the witch is AMAZING! I love how you did the black parts! They look amazing! I need lessons!!!
