Now they've gone and done it….. They've combined two of my favorite things, baking and paper crafts.

 

Have you seen the new Sweet Pressed Cookie Stamps by Stampin'' Up!?  Easy to use.  Easy clean-up and unbreakable!  The photo above shows the Jack-O-Lantern stamp on the right.   The set comes with a beautifully crafted, wooden handle and 3 silicone stamps (Jack-O-Lantern, Snowflake and Heart) and 2 wonderful cookie recipes.  I'm still looking for the Magic Pig Wand that takes all of the calories away.  I was sure I read somewhere that it was included.  Silly me! 

 

How about some creative packaging ideas too?!  Did I mention that our Cellophane Bags are FDA Approved Food Grade?
