Croats do not typically bake with them. So, chocolate chip cookies are still a novelty. Around Christmas time, we get invited to people's homes many times for coffee or just a lovely chat. I usually think of a small gift to give to each host/hostess.
Thanks to Verve's August Project Parade, I got a jump start in planning what I will be giving and how I will be packaging my little gifts this year. I also make this with a printed Croatian sentiment, "za vas" for my friends who do not speak English.
And here's the close up of the card.
Stamps: Holiday Silhouettes (Inkadinkado), My Cuppa' Joe (GKD), Unity medallion BG
Paper: Green Apple (GinaK), Urban Prairie (Basic Grey)
Ink: Old Olive, Really Red
Other: gold pearls, ribbon and red rhinestone

This looks not only gorgeous but delicious, too, Nina!!! Wonderful gift idea!!!
ReplyDeleteLove this fun gift idea Nina. That gingham ribbon really adds the added pop of color. Super fun Reindeer. I am so kicking myself for not yet owning that medallion. Guess I better to add it to my very LAST SU order soon.
ReplyDeleteSince we are military, we can shop at the commissary on base and that is where I purchase the frappaccini. Kinda the best of all worlds because they carry American products, and items from all over Europe, Hawaii, just everything you can imagine
I love how you stacked the cookies into a tube shape. The bling (gold dots) on your card is so spontaneous, it makes the card so fun to look at. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love your story about taking chocolate chips home in your suitcase:) I do the same thing with honey butter when I visit my sister in Texas...it comes in jars and always make my suitcase so heavy! This will be a special treat for the lucky person you give it to :) Beautiful card.
ReplyDeleteLove the card Nina!! I am sure this gift will be enjoyed by many!! I wonder if I could send cc through the mail?? hmm....
ReplyDeleteBlessings and Hugs!!
Such a pretty card! And I love the way you combined a little subtle strip of the otherwise so "retro" looking Offbeat paper with such a classy Xmas image! Great job! Greetings from Germany!
ReplyDeleteGolly, That is something I didn't realize. Whoa . . . . Love chocolate chips and I would have to do the same thing, Maybe even two suitcases.
ReplyDeleteThe card is a beauty.. Love the gold bling. The ribbon is perfect and the images are beautiful! The packaging with the matching ribbon just tops the whole gift off. yummy!
