Holiday Blitz Day 17: Top Note Tags & Tag Box Tutorial…another winner…& a new blog give-away!
Posted on: Monday, December 8th, 2008
Gift-giving during the holiday season can be a real challenge, especially if your gift list is long. My typical “to shop for” list of just my family members has 30 people on it. That doesn’t include teachers, friends and of course my UPS man (*lol*). That’s why I’m always on the lookout for unique gift ideas that don’t cost a fortune. Now finding things in a retail store that fit that bill is NOT easy, that’s why I’m so thankful that rubber stamping and paper crafting is my business. I can make unique gifts that are affordable, yet are really “from the heart”. Today’s project makes a perfect gift when you are looking to give someone a “little something” to show them that you are thinking of them.
I used my Big Shot Top Note die and the Bird with Leaves & Flowers die to create four tags. The layout of the four tags is identical, I just used different patterns from the Riding Hood Red Prints series paper and two different colors for the base of the tags.
Now you can’t just give someone tags on their own. If you want to make it into a gift then you need a cute little box to package them in, right? Since designing templates is my passion, of course I just HAD to create a template for a Top Note Tag Box!
I’ve put together a Step-by-Step tutorial with a downloadable template HERE.
*******************************************
Okay, and now onto today’s winner. Drumroll please……the winner of the Holiday Blitz Day 16 blog give-away is Judi Carpenter! Congratulations! In order to draw my winners I use the website www.random.org so that the winner is randomly drawn. Judi, please email me at andrea@sunnystampin.com in order to claim your prize!
Judi will receive the PDF tutorial for this Snowman Window Box. You can use it as shown with a couple of test tubes holding goodies inside (I bought the Martha Stewart test tubes) OR, you could omit the test tube holder portion, cover the windows with acetate and fill them the box with treats. The tutorial includes supplies, dimensions and step-by-step photos with directions. Judi is the last winner of this window box tutorial.
Today I start a new give-away!
Today and for the next week or so, I’ll be drawing for the pdf tutorial for this ornament-shaped gift box.
As with all the templates I feature, this project is based on a custom-designed template I created to simulate the look of a Christmas Tree Ornament. The dimensions of the box are 6″ wide, 5″ high and 2″ deep. It holds a LOT of treats! The tutorial will include a supply list, dimensions, template and over 30 photos with step-by-step directions.
I had a lot of people ask me if I would sell this tutotrial because they didn’t want to wait *lol* so I put it into my store. If you’re interested in purchasing it, it’s $12.95 and you can get it from here: http://www.sunnystampinstore.com/. I am not releasing a class planner version of this. If you are a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, you can use it in a class, all I ask is that you please not re-sell the tutorial or post the directions/dimensions on your blog or website.
Today’s question: What is your favourite holiday dessert? My favourite dessert is a Hungarian dessert that my grandmother makes only during the Christmas season. The closest translation I can think of is “Bird’s Milk”. I think it’s the same thing as a dessert called Floating Islands. It’s a creamy custard-type sauce that is similar to egg nog (but better) with floating “islands” made out of a soft meringue.

Our family’s favourite dessert (s) are Snow pudding which is a whipped jellied lemon base served with a soft custard and of course “whipped cream”, this is paired with “Chocolate Yule Log” – in other words, “death by whipped cream”.

Hi Andrea,
Love these tags. This is the best use of the bird die that I have seen – it’s fantastic!
My favorite holiday dessert was my grandmother’s cookies and squares that she made for Christmas – fruit squares, mocha cakes, scotch cakes, ginger snaps are the ones that I remember.
Thanks for today’s lovely project.
December 8th, 2008 at 10:04 pm
My favourite dessert is my Mom’s whipped shortbread cookies and shortbread bars.

Tanya
December 8th, 2008 at 10:07 pm
Oh my goodness, I LOVE this gift tag/box package!!! I am tryign to think of who NEEDS one for their gift this year!!!
My favorite holiday dessert are sugar plums. They are only made once a year, and totally take me back to childhood Christmasses!

You are so wonderful to keep inspiring us day after day, I feel like I am receiving a Christmas gift each day. THANKS to you and your sister…..
My favorite dessert around the holidays – pumpking pie, or is it the cookies, or maybe the candies and oh, I almost forgot…candy canes!!! I love it ALL.
December 8th, 2008 at 10:10 pm
My favorite dessert is …. fruitcake! And only my Mom’s recipe. No one else in my immediate family cares for fruitcake, so it’s MINE … all MINE!! hehehe
Love the tags and box, Andrea!!
December 8th, 2008 at 10:11 pm
My favorite holiday dessert is black cherry jello w/black olives, walnuts, and dark red cherries. Way yummy! And also some apple pie!
December 8th, 2008 at 10:16 pm
My favorite holiday dessert is a fave more for the tradition than for the actual taste. It’s a Polish creation that I don’t know how to spell, but the English translation is “angel wings”. It’s a nice light, slightly crunchy pastry covered in powdered sugar, and we have it every year as part of our traditional Polish Christmas Eve Dinner. My parents buy theirs in Hamtramck (Michigan), and when we lived in New Hampshire we bought ours at the Bartlett Street Superette in Manchester. Yum!
December 8th, 2008 at 10:25 pm
My favorite dessert is always cookies, russian teacakes or Grandma’s Spritz cookies.
Love all your tutorials. How do you find the time to do all of them??
Catherine
December 8th, 2008 at 10:25 pm

Well, being from Scotland the best is Home Made “Cloutie Dupling” there’s nothing like it in the world that says Christmas is here. A close second would be my mothers scottish empire biscuits. I need to go and get a cup of tea now.
The tags are so adorable thanks for sharing,
Ann
December 8th, 2008 at 10:37 pm
Love the tags and box. TFS! My favorite dessert are the molasses cookies my grandma use to make. Now I make them with her recipe. Love them!
December 8th, 2008 at 10:39 pm
Hi Andrea,
Another great idea today. Thanks!
My favorite dessert for the holiday is a Christmas cake, which is white layer cake with green jello poured over one layer and red jello poured over the other. Than I use a pudding frosting. This is refreshing and not too sweet.
Sharon L
December 8th, 2008 at 10:44 pm
That is such an elegant gift set!
My favorite holiday dessert is almond rocha. My family only makes it during the holidays so it is a very special treat. Since I live far away from my family, and my husband’s family aren’t big fans of almond rocha, I get to eat most of it myself!
Just have to diet after I eat it all, LOL
December 8th, 2008 at 10:44 pm
This is a great project! And not just for Christmas. Thanks for sharing.
December 8th, 2008 at 10:44 pm
My favorite dessert for the holidays is homemade lefse with butter and sugar.
We only make it for the holidays so it’s a special treat.
December 8th, 2008 at 10:47 pm
My favourite Christmas dessert is shortbread cookies made using a recipe from the Edinburgh School of Cookery. Oh, yummy! I have to make only a quarter of the recipe because I’m the only person in my family who likes them.
December 8th, 2008 at 10:47 pm
My favorite dessert for Christmas time has to be sugar cut out cookies with frosting. YUMMY!!
I have loved all of your Christmas projects and the tags are gorgeous and the box to hold them is very cute. You are so talented Andrea!!
December 8th, 2008 at 10:50 pm
I love the colors and love all the projects!!! I love the home made caramels and chocolate candies. We also make mexican wedding rings and apricot filled birds nests. My favorite is nut rolls and poppy seed rolls, my grandma’s recipe. I’m from Pittsburgh PA and the church ladies would get together and bake and you could buy them also. Our Czechoslovakian heritage has all kinds of goodies! Grandma’s gone so it’s up to us to carry on the tradition.

Pumpkin Pie with cool whip…yum, yum!
December 8th, 2008 at 11:05 pm

December 8th, 2008 at 11:16 pm
My favorite is ginger cream cookies, and caramel fudge and spritz cookies and…really everything!!!!!
Angela, you keep outdoing yourself, how do you do it with a new baby and family and a great sister also? All the tutorials and projects have been fantastic (-:
December 8th, 2008 at 11:17 pm
I love the tags! My favorite would be homemade chocolate chip cookies. I rarely eat them except when I receive them as a gift at christmas as I don’t like to bake cookies. I’d rather be stamping. lol
Your ornament box is beautiful. Thank you for a chance to win the tutorial.
December 8th, 2008 at 11:18 pm
My favorite Christmas/holiday desert is Strawberry Haupia cream pie!
December 8th, 2008 at 11:20 pm
I love this tag and box idea! You and your sister have the best creative ideas! I always get so excited every day to see what you come up with next! My favorite holiday dessert is Eggnog Milkshakes. I only drink this at Christmas time. I am not an alchohol drinker, but on very rare occasions I will add a bit of Kahlua. The idea for me is to enjoy it, not make myself sick! Ha! Thanks for sharing your creativity!
December 8th, 2008 at 11:23 pm
Cute tags! My top note die is on back order and I can’t wait for it to arrive.
One of my favorite desserts is blueberry cheesecake. We make it with a buttery flaky crust and a lighter filling, so it’s not too heavy after a large holiday meal. If you ever want a huge, multi-cultural feast, just visit our house for the holidays. People are blown away. . .
December 8th, 2008 at 11:27 pm
Another wonderful tutorial. If only I had a Big Shot:( I would so case it! My favorite “Christmas Desert” would be Persimmon Cookies. They are so moist and yummy.
December 8th, 2008 at 11:28 pm
This is a wonderful tutorial. I LOVE these tags and the box is the “icing on the cake”. Wow!
December 8th, 2008 at 11:45 pm
All these desserts are making me hungry! Too bad everyone can’t include their recipe. My favorite dessert is baklava.
December 8th, 2008 at 11:50 pm
I love the no bake cheese cake my mom always makes at Christmas. My favorite cookies are her short bread crescents. As I am not going home this year for Christmas I will make the no bake cheese cake for desert Christmas Eve.(hope it is as good as mom’s LOL)
December 8th, 2008 at 11:57 pm
I think my all-time favorite holiday dessert would have to be springerle cookies. They are little anise-flavored cookies made by rolling out dough and pressing it with either a mold or a special rolling pin that is carved with little birds and things (reminds me of some of our dies). These cookies take two days to make, so I don’t make them often. My sister loves them, too, so it is fun to make them and think about how excited she will be to see them in her Christmas box! She lives far away from me, so I like to send her special things.
I love these tags, too! I don’t know how you continue to come up with all these clever things, Andrea! You two gals are truly amazing. Thanks so much.
December 9th, 2008 at 12:02 am
Love all of your tutorials. My favorite holiday dessert is jello cheesecake! It’s way yummy.
December 9th, 2008 at 12:07 am

I love all the different varieties of cookies. Thanks for all the great ideas. Mary
December 9th, 2008 at 12:19 am
The tags are beautiful. I think I am one of the rare people that actually like fruit cake. It is one of my favorite.
December 9th, 2008 at 12:20 am
My favorite holiday dessert is Peach Cobbler with a scoop of ice cream. Yum………….
December 9th, 2008 at 12:28 am
My favorite holiday dessert is my mom’s homemade apple pie. She usually makes it for Thanksgiving and Christmas, and I absolutely love it!!
December 9th, 2008 at 12:32 am
My iced cut out sugar cookies
December 9th, 2008 at 12:55 am
I absolutely love eggnog ice cream! It’s always hit or miss if I can find it during the holidays, so if I’m lucky enough to find some, I hoard as much as can fit in my freezer!
December 9th, 2008 at 1:01 am
Oh, they are a pain to make, but my family loves peppernuts. (little bitty, hard anise cookies). I have learned though that I love them most right out of the oven, warm and soft.
Thanks,
Bonnie S
December 9th, 2008 at 1:04 am

December 9th, 2008 at 1:06 am
My favorite is a tradition from my DH family. Ice Box Cake. My DH always makes it and the kids help. And it can only be made during the holidays. It takes a whole box of graham crackers, a pound of pecans and an entire box of raisins. Really good!
December 9th, 2008 at 1:15 am
What wonderful tags! My favorite dessert is Pumpkin Pie with whip cream. Yummy!!

My favorite dessert is Molasses cookies that my uncle makes – they are soft and delicious!!!! Just simply the best!!!
What a great give away – thanks for letting me play along
December 9th, 2008 at 2:05 am
I have to say this is the best I have seen using the Birds and Bloom Die cut!! I am definitely going to have to make this for a teachers gift and for my son’s doctors gift.
I love making spritz cookies for the holidays but my favorite is a toss up between the coconut macaroons my Oma use to make and the German fudge with wafers layered in between that my mom makes. The fudge just melts in your mouth!! Will have to see if I can talk her into showing me how to make it next time I get to visit.
December 9th, 2008 at 2:43 am
I have too many desserts that I love, but my current favorite is cherry dump cake topped with vanilla bean ice cream. Yummy! I love these beautiful tags!
December 9th, 2008 at 3:14 am
Fave holiday dessert is fruit cake with a rum sauce…..or warm gingerbread with cream cheese icing…..
Gorgeous tags!
Happy Holidays!
December 9th, 2008 at 3:21 am
These are wonderful. Thanks again for all you do!!
I love French Silk Pie. Not sure how holiday it is…but Mmmmm!!!
December 9th, 2008 at 4:04 am
What an awesome giveaway, I love it!! You have great ideas and beautiful designs.
My favorite holiday dessert is the Buckeyes. I can’t make them anymore for gifts because I always want to eat them…..all of them! LOL!!
December 9th, 2008 at 4:11 am
I wish I was as creative as you! My favorite dessert at Christmas (well anytime really) is pumpkin cookies.
December 9th, 2008 at 6:53 am
Hands down, its pralines. The recipe I have was handed down by my ex husbands great grandmother. These pralines just melt in your mouth and the only time they turn is when its cold outside, so we only make them during the holiday season.
Thanks for sharing.
December 9th, 2008 at 7:13 am
My favorite Christmas desserts are pizzelles (husband is Italian) and something I can’t spell (LOL). I am Hungarian and we make something like strudel but filled with apricot jam, poppy seeds, or a nut filling. Yum!
Love your projects and really appreciate your inspiration!
December 9th, 2008 at 7:40 am
May family loves cheesecake bars.
Your projects are WONDERFUL!
December 9th, 2008 at 7:42 am
My favorite dessert in plain ole pumpkin pie.
December 9th, 2008 at 8:26 am
I make a chocolate euclair torte, in the shape of a wreath. It’s not super sweet, light, and festive! (easy too
December 9th, 2008 at 8:27 am
What a pretty box and tags! All the Christmas projects make me wish we had another month to create and enjoy! My favorite desert is my mother’s Sherry Pie. As with most of you, it’s only made at Christmas and such a special treat! Hearing of your fav made me remember the delight of floating islands and I just might have to make some of that this season, too! Thanks, again!

December 9th, 2008 at 8:31 am
my favorite holiday dessert is baklava, a greek pastry, which I only make at Christmas time. I also give a small box of it for gifts and people love it, since it’s not something they have all the time!
December 9th, 2008 at 8:33 am
Once again your tag tutorial is perfect timing. I’m doing a tag class this Friday and I will use your idea. Thank you so much for sharing it.
My favorite desert is Mexican Wedding Cakes which are sugar, vanilla, nuts and butter. Talk about my arteries clogging up!
December 9th, 2008 at 8:42 am
I’m definitely getting the bird! I am trying to be creative but it’s taking too long!!! Thanks for the great ideas. My favorite dessert is Baklava. It is a wonderful Greek pastry smothered with honey and nuts. Only get it at Christmas!
December 9th, 2008 at 9:05 am
I don’t really have a favorite holiday dessert. We typically just have cookies and things like that. And it seems that every occasion that my family gets together, one of us makes a Hot Milk Sponge cake since it’s my Dad’s favorite. I do think a trifle looks pretty for the holiday’s though.
Love this tutorial! You never cease to amaze me girl!
Joan Hajek
December 9th, 2008 at 9:14 am
My favorite Christmas recipe is the sugar cookies that my Grandmother always made, they were so cute cut out and decorated and so soft and yummy. Your gift tags and holder are so cute! I am making one today to give to my sisters! I am from a family of 13 and have my neices and nephews! Eloise
December 9th, 2008 at 9:15 am
Great box and tags. I would love this tutorial. Thanks for the chance. I love cut out sugar cookies with festive frosting.

December 9th, 2008 at 9:30 am
I love those tags.
My favorite dessert is strawberry and jello pretzel thing. Not sure on the exact name. But I love this and eat lots and lots of it.
December 9th, 2008 at 9:35 am
I love this, I’m definitely going to have to try this. My favorite holiday dessert is a Lemon Chiffon mousse that my grandmother makes. It’s so light but so good.
December 9th, 2008 at 9:43 am
I don’t know how you girls are finding the time–you’re amazing!
Hmmm, favorites at christmastime are carrot cake, my aunt’s special cheesecake and her beautifully decorated christmas cookies.
December 9th, 2008 at 9:45 am
My favorite Christmas dessert are homemade sugar cookies. It takse so long to bake and ice them that I only make them for Christmas.
Love the tags.
December 9th, 2008 at 10:20 am
I have never had a Holiday Dessert. I think this will have to be a new tradition for us. Apart from the Christms Cookies we make I would like to have a dessert to follow our Chritmas Dinner. am really going to enjoy looking over all the comments to see if one of your can be one of ours.
December 9th, 2008 at 10:35 am
Oh the tags are sooo cute. My favorite dessert is my grandma/grandpa’s homemade banana icecream!! Yummy.
December 9th, 2008 at 10:42 am
My favorite holiday dessert has pumpkin in it. I don’t care if it is pumpkin cheesecake, or pumpkin pie. But it has to have pumpkin in it.
I just love your creativity and all of your projects Andrea. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
Lucinda
December 9th, 2008 at 10:42 am
Favorite Holiday Dessert: Eggnog Cake
Great inspiration! Your tags and box are beautiful:)
December 9th, 2008 at 10:46 am
I love everything! I don’t really have one favorite that I can think of. I do love cheese cake and pecan pie.
December 9th, 2008 at 10:46 am
Strawberry Snow…that sounds yummy (earlier post)…my favorite is either red velvet cake or oreo balls (crushed oreo cookies with cream cheese dipped in chocolate)
December 9th, 2008 at 10:51 am
I have to admit that I’m not a big dessert fan but just about anything with chocolate is good! I’m really enjoying your Holiday Blitz! You have great projects and tutorials. Thanks for sharing!
December 9th, 2008 at 11:27 am
My favorite desert is homemade fudge that my Memaw makes.
December 9th, 2008 at 11:46 am
My favorite is just plain cheese cake. I’m not much on fancy deserts.
Love the project this time. Just plain simple. Your great!!!!
December 9th, 2008 at 11:52 am
My favourite desert is Trifle – cake, custard, strawberries, whipped cream – how can you go wrong? And Shortbread. And butter tarts. And fruitcake. Do you have to choose one??
Love the top note tags. and the gift box – a lovely little extra to make for all of the friends and family … Thanks to both of you!
December 9th, 2008 at 12:10 pm
We don’t have a “standard” dessert at my family gathering, so I seem to like whatever we have! The last few years we’ve had Cherry Berry Clouds, brownie cupcakes, and Pecan pie was fabulous this Thanksgiving! Thanks for a chance to win – how cute!
December 9th, 2008 at 12:11 pm
One of my favorites would be spritz cookies. My Grandmother would make them every Christmas, and now I love to make them with my own kids!
December 9th, 2008 at 12:49 pm
I love lots of Christmas goodies, but I think my favourite is Nanaimo bars. The coconut, walnut and chocolate base, with a yummy custard filling and melted chocolate chips on top make my mouth water! It’s too bad that you can buy it at Costco for cheaper than you can make it at home.. although making it at home is great fun too.
I love your notes and box that goes with it… very lovely.
December 9th, 2008 at 12:51 pm
DANG, Andrea, you never cease to amaze me. I LOVE your templates – you make them WOW but easy-to-follow! So please enter me.
My favorite dessert. Hmmmmmmm. That really varies with my mood. Today I’m going to say chocolate cake with cream cheese icing. Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I can’t eat it very often because I’m diabetic, but I can certainly DREAM.
December 9th, 2008 at 12:58 pm
I love this project!!!!
Cookies, fudge, things I can eat everyday all the time
December 9th, 2008 at 1:10 pm
My favorite dessert that we have around the holidays is called Boterkoek. It’s a dutch recipe kind of like a blondie but has almond extract in it. It’s soooo good! thanks for the chance to win!
Elizabeth
December 9th, 2008 at 1:26 pm
Peppermint Fudge is my new favorite Holiday dessert. I love anything peppermint!
Melisa
December 9th, 2008 at 1:28 pm
I love pecan pie…for a holiday dessert! With homemade whipped cream of course!
December 9th, 2008 at 1:32 pm
Darling box and darling tag cards! Fun idea!! But then again, that’s why I come here, because your ideas are AWESOME!!!!
Because I only get them at the holidays, I’m going to say my sister-in-law’s bratzels. I’ve looked on the internet for the spelling of these and a recipe and can’t find it, but that is what she calls them. They’re a type of Swedish cookie that’s made on a decorative iron and then tried over a rod so that they’re curved. They’re a heavy cookie with lots of cream. Oh, they are so yummy. She knows how much I love them, so I get my very own batch of ‘em every year!! LOL
December 9th, 2008 at 2:08 pm
My fav. xmas dessert is xmas pudding with warm butter rum sauce over it, its similar to fruitcake just moister.
thanks for sharing all your great ideas

I would have to say my favorite would be cut-out cookies. I’m not sure why but I only make them at Christmas time. So they are extra special!

my favorite holiday dessert is my Craisen Bark. I make it with a layer of milk chocolate and then a layer of white chocolate, both with craisens mixed into it. Spread it on a cookie sheet and then break it apart when it hardens.

That’s a hard one! I love two desserts that my Grandma used to make: Rosettes and Krumkake. She is Norwegian and those were two things she always made at Christmas along with Lefse. Yummy! Thanks for sharing these great ideas above and also for the chance to win a great prize.

My favorite dessert at Christmas is the chocolate mint pie I buy from a store. Its the best – like a french silk pie, but it has Andes candies in it. Only my sister, me and my brother-in-law eat it. Yum!

There are so many desserts that I love, but my all-time favorite was my grandmother’s dried apple stack cake. I have tried to duplicate it, but something is missing…I guess it is the love that she put in the cake!

Andrea–I thoroughly enjoy your projects and you tutorials. Thank you.
Not sure I have a favorite Christmas dessert.
I like everything and especially I like to taste new things. Wish some of the ladies would submit the recipes mentioned in the comments–I tried to find on the internet– names of desserts with which I am not familiar. Found “lefse” but not with butter and sugar. That was disapointing.
BUT-Your website never is- Thanks for sharing
