(Used in this project: Small Oval Tags in Bouquet style, Large Oval Tags in Custom style and Paper Tin-Tie Bags.) One of my earliest childhood kitchen memories comes from the day my father baked a batch of cookies for my sister and me using the recipe from the bag of NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE chocolate chips. The cookies were magical, of course, and I can remember to this day the way the dough tasted, and the smell wafting from the oven as they baked. Since then, I’ve experimented with several … [Read more...]

Buckeye Bark recipe from My Own Ideas blog #fathersday #homemade #gift

(Used in this project: Large Labels and Fancy Diamond Labels in Aunt Lorraine style with Small Tin-Tie Bags.) I have a tendency to decorate most candies and treats in a frilly and feminine way— not typically a bad thing. However, when looking for ideas for Fathers Day, I wanted to make a treat that wasn’t overly sweet, still rich, and absolutely masculine. Dark chocolate fits that description completely— and is a great place to start. I saw this recipe for Buckeye Bark over at … [Read more...]

Ice Cream Party Sprinkle Favors from My Own Ideas blog #party #shavuot #dessert #favor #packaging #label

(Used in this project: Square Labels in Champagne style.) Ok. So here’s my thing about ice cream parties. I LOVE THEM! So easy and oh so fun to make! “Shavuot” is the name of the Jewish holiday celebrating the receiving of the Torah (Ten Commandments) on Mount Sinai. It is customary to eat dairy products such as blintzes, cheesecake and ice cream. And honestly, this is one custom we are oh SO ‘religious’ about. We will create a delicious ice cream bar with various toppings … [Read more...]

(Used in this project: Heart-Shaped Labels in Soft Hearts style, Large Labels in Lace style, and Large Square Glassine Envelopes.) I first saw this idea on Pinterest, and from numerous sites— however, since my bout with Royal Icing for the Apple Cookies, I knew I had the foundation for creating these cookies without much instruction. All I needed was a heart-shaped cookie cutter and a lot of practice. These cookies are so pretty for my friend Melody’s bachelorette party! At first, I … [Read more...]

(Used in this project: Large Photo Labels and Text Labels in Cherish Hearts style with Paper Tin-Tie Bags.) This year, I am celebrating my mom and the special talents she shares with others, by making this chocolate cake mix recipe that she used to love to make. When I first learned to bake, this was the cake my mom taught me. My brothers and I loved it, and I am certain mom and dad did too, because we had it all the time! I never got tired of it. When I grew up, I made it for my children … [Read more...]
