Macarons

DD1 loves macarons (a French confection).  She buys them when she is the one bringing dessert.  If you give a mouse a cookie (book reference meaning one thing leads to another) I spied the Avery Elle stamp set and had to snap it up.   I pictured DD1 sharing macarons and decided this little treat bag would be perfect.

The base is a white paper sack. For my kraft portion,  I used Stampin' Up crumb cake paper to create a tag and stamp the cookies.  I also purchased the Avery Elle die so it was a snap to fix my macarons.

I punched two holes through both the front and back of the bag as well as the tag so that when the bag is opened and stood on end, the top still could be secured with the twine (which came packaged with my stamps).  We wouldn't want those yummy macarons to fall out!  The tag is free, attached only by the twine and can be used by the recipient for re-gifting. 

I placed the white bag on matching paper.  This could be an option to turn the bag into a card.    Or both pieces could be attached to a larger kraft shopping bag if the gift includes additional food items.

I wanted something on the tag that fit the sentiment stamped on the bag.  So I inked only the Ooh portion of the Ooh La La sentiment.  All stamps are from the Avery Elle Bonjour set.
