Hi Lovelies!

Welcome to Day 1 of Simon Says Stamp's Sugar and Spice Blog Hop! Today's project are some "on brand" tags for your sweetest Christmas treats. I had big plans to show these with little treat bags full of homemade cookies, but somehow the cookies mysteriously disappeared...

The Gingerbread Joy set is perfect for embellishing your Christmas baking gifts or just sending festive messages for the holidays. These tags are embellished on the front with embossing, jewels and the new Mini Stars, and on the back with more stamping from the Joy set and ink-blending all around. Follow along with the easy steps to make a set of your own!

Colorful Christmas tags with gingerbread designs and festive text, surrounded by holiday decorations and ribbons on a white background. — Ready to attach to your favorite treats or other gifts!

Colorful Christmas tags with gingerbread and candy designs say "Be Jolly." They surround a striped gift box with red ribbon and gold stars. — The stamp creates a delightful pattern on the back of the tag too!
