Day 3 - The Twelve Days of Christmas with My Creative Time

Hello!  Today is day 3 of The Twelve Days of Christmas with My Creative Time.  You should have arrived here from Cassandra's blog.
Today I have made some very quick inexpensive gifts you can make a bunch of in no time.  I intend to use these for all the nice people I see every day that I would like to remember at the holidays. The post office people, the secretaries at the kids school, my coffee lady etc.
I purchased a bucket of biscotti from my warehouse store.  When I figured it out it cost me only about 50 cents each for these little gifts.  You can get 3 of these biscotti sleeves out of 1 piece of 12 X 12 piece of paper.


I used Tags, Bags, Boxes and More for this cut.  It is the 4th row down, 1st image on the left. I used my Gypsy to size it correctly by unlinking the height and width.  4.25" wide and 11.25" high.
I scored the fold, used Red Tape on the edges,  put one glue dot on the back of the cookie wrapper to secure it nicely to the inside of the package, wrapped a pretty ribbon around it, added the tag with sentiment and done!

Supplies I Used:
Cricut Cartridge Tags, Bags,  Boxes and More
Festive Berries and Evergreen Bough Distress Inks
Terrifically Tacky Tape
Glue Dots
Lady Bug Red and Tuxedo Black Ink Pads - Memento
