Welcome to Holiday Cards & More Week and day one of our special promotion of Holiday Cards & More, Volume 7! On sale Sept. 25, this merry magazine features over 300 holiday projects for everyone on your list. And since Christmas is officially 90 days away (yikes!), we know you need to get started on those gorgeous holiday cards, as well as tags, gift wrap, gifts, home décor, and more!
We’ve once again teamed up with Cath and the Moxie Fab World blog to bring you five days of holiday delight. If you’re not already in the Christmas spirit, I guarantee you will be by the end of the week! Each day we’ll be spotlighting projects from each of the six sections, as well as giving away some fantastic prizes (including free issues!). Make sure to come back every day to see what our elves have in store!

Today I’ll be spotlighting the “Tasty Treat Wraps” section of Holiday Cards & More. As a self-proclaimed sweet tooth, this section is like strolling through Willy Wonka’s factory and being amazed at every turn. Yummies abound on every page! Here’s a few of my favorite projects to tempt you with:
Country Christmas Cocoa Set by Julie Campbell, p. 129 :
Our resident county girl has come up with the cutest bread and cocoa set. Love those utensils!
Enjoy Bag Topper by Chan Vuong, p. 132
How could your recipient not “enjoy” this fun bag topper?
Sweetest Wishes Treat Box by Latisha Yoast, p. 133
Think of all the delicious goodies you could put in this sweet gift box!
Delicious projects, right? Our friends at Lawn Fawn were nice enough to donate three sets of their Making Frosty Friends stamp set and Bright Side 6×6 paper pad—the same product Latisha used in her treat box above. Leave a comment telling me your favorite treat to wrap up and give during the holidays and I’ll pick three winners to receive these fun products, plus a copy of Holiday Cards & More, Volume 7! All comments must be received by Wednesday, September 19th at 5 pm MDT.
Three lucky winners will take home this fun Lawn Fawn stamp set!
Here’s to a Christmas filled with everything sweet!
These are darling and Latisha’s is my favorite!! I love making hazelnut biscotti with drizzled dark chocolate as gifts because I don’t know of anyone in my circle that make them and they’re so delish dipped in a cuppa steaming coffee or tea. Thanks for the chance to win!
Oh my gosh, the Sweetest Christmas Wishes wrap is so cute! And the colors are yummy!
My favorite treat to give someone is spiced pecans. I gave some to the staff at my doctor’s office. The doctor, himself, called and asked for the recipe. I think that is the first time in my life that a doctor has called me.
I have this fabulous (and easy) fudge recipe that makes terrific holiday gifts. I’m always looking for new ways to package them – sounds like this issue will have some great ideas!
Wow! love these! My favorite is Christmas cookies I’ve made it a tradition in my house and now my mom comes over and my son joins in, soon his little sister will be able to help too! Thanks!
Cute projects! I love to share traditional Norwegian cookies at Christmas.

Mmmm, Christmas goodies! I make peanut butter fudge as one of my goodies to give…I love coming up with different ways to package it every year!
I always make homemade caramels for Christmas – in fact, the in-laws won’t let me in the house unless I have them (just kidding). I’m always looking for new ways to package them for family, friends, neighbors, etc.
What adorable projects! I like to give my neighbors homemade Christmas cookies. Thanks for the chance to win this generous prize!
Love the snowmen stamps!!!!! My favorite thing to give is homemade caramels!
I love giving homemade chocolate truffles…yum!
Expensive, organic, free-trade chocolate. Did I mention delicious?
I would love love love to own this adorable snowman stamp
Set!!! Plezzzzz? Such an adorable project.
Homemade caramel corn I’m working on it right now. It’s always the treat I make for my boy’s teachers to kick off the fall season.
Lawn Fawn has some of the most adorable stamp sets.
I like the projects and adore Lawn Fawn. The thing I like to wrap up and give is cookies.
I love love to wrap up my homemade cookies at the holidays!!
I traditionally make home made caramels–chocolate and vanilla ones. They are a real pain to make, so I don’t do it very often, and people tell me that they are the best they’ve ever had. Since I have gotten into paper crafting, I’ve had such fun thinking of cute packaging ideas.
This issue looks amazing. I adored all the wonderful treat toppers shown too! My favourite thing to make and give is chocolate fudge. I’d love some Holiday Inspiration!
Any sweet treat in worth sharing in my opinion, but candy is probably my favorite.
I like to make bread to give. Also cookies or some form of homemade candy. I love that Julie’s bread is in a pan – I may have to stock up on affordable pans to give as well! Great idea.
chocolate, off course! Nothing warms my heart more than receiving a box of beautifully wrapped chocolates! Love to give them as a present too!
We live in Venezuela. I make up a lot of our favorite family spice tea mix, then fill up a Christmas mug, and wrap it all in cellophane. My Venezuelan friends ADORE this very American treat (and the mug). I’ll certainly be using your darling treat wrap ideas. Thanks!
My children and I like making chocolate-dipped pretzel sticks.
Just in the nic of time! I am so excited to get my copy of this new and most favourite issue! Can’t wait to be inspired. Thanks for the chance.
Latisha’s gift box caught my eye right away-I love the colors and snowman. I picture putting my homemade caramel corn in a clear box like hers and would love to win the stamps and papers. Thanks, Kelly, for the chance to win all the wonderful goodies.
