Baker's Dozen Studion Challenge - October!


Hi everyone!  Happy Tuesday!

It's time for the Baker's Dozen Studio Challenge.  This is a monthly opportunity for us to share what makes our stamping studios hum.  Each month we will have a fun, crafty question so we can share our favorites, some tips and tricks, stamping advice and more.

The theme for October is:
Good things come in small packages!  The holiday season is upon us and between Halloween, Thanksgiving, Hanukah, and Christmas there are a ton of opportunities to create and give little treats, gifts, and party favors.  Please show us something you'll be giving this year.

Fun fun fun!!  For my project today, I decided to create little bags of Reindoor Food to hand out on Christmas Eve!  I thought it would be fun for the kids to sprinkle the Reindeer Food outside so that the reindeer have something to munch on while Santa is filling their stockings (grin!)

I made a set of six to start, and I think I am going to create a few more, just to make sure I have enough.  They were super easy to make and I think they turned out SUPER cute!


I started with the Mini Kraft Bakery Bags (they are SO cute) and stamped "Believe" from Reindeer Food using Paper White Fresh Ink all over the bags.  I did this before I opened the bags so it was easier to stamp.  Here are three of them stamped and ready to go.


I then filled up the bags with Quaker Oats and I added some glitter to each bag and then shook it up.  LOVE how sparkly the mixture is!   I cut out two panels with the Label Stacklets 1 Taylored Dies, the larger from red cardstock and the smaller from kraft cardstock.  I then stamped the poem (LOVE).  I stamped the reindeer in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Snow White Cardstock, colored them with Copic Markers and then fussy cut them out.

Here is a view of the bag before I added the focal panel.  I added a strip of Foam Tape to the portion of the bag that folds over, and this is what I attached the focal panel to.  This way, when the bag is opened, the focal panel stays intact.


Here is the finished bag.  LOVE these sweet little reindeer!


Here is a closeup of the focal panel!  I can't wait to hand these out on Christmas Eve!


Here are the Copic Markers I've used on my bags:

  13. This is the best idea, EVER! Too bad we live in California, where the reindeer would get run over by cars and roast in the heat, LOL! This is so darling, Jodi! XOXO
