Our neighbors left the most lovely box of homemade Christmas cookies on our doorstep on Christmas Eve. I was so blown away by the presentation, and every cookie was delicious. Of course, I wanted to make a really special Thank You card for thinking of us. This is what I put together.
I started first with Hug In A Mug Sweet Treats die. I die-cut them from white cardstock, and inked them with Distress Oxide Inks. For the cookie tops and bottoms, I used Vintage Photo and Tea Dye. For the insides, I used Abandoned Coral, Aged Patina, and Crushed Pistachio. I glued the insides to the bottom cookie, and added a small layer of Nuvo Crystal Glaze. I let the glaze dry for about 10 min. and then added the cookie tops. I used the point on my reverse tweezers to gently push the tops onto the glaze. I poured Clear Rock Candy glitter over the cookies, and let the glaze dry. Once dry, I brushed the excess glitter off each cookie.
To showcase the cookies, I die-cut three windows from a slimline card panel, using the small Window Dressing Dotted Scallops Die. I also inked the window areas on a slimline card base, and splattered a little bit of white paint over the inked areas. I added the window panel with foam adhesive, and glued on the cookies.
I kept the inside of the card clean and simple. I stamped Thank You from Just My Type Stamp Set, using Vintage Photo Distress Oxide ink. I wrote a quick thank you note on a piece of paper, and placed it inside the card. I like to keep special cards like this unsigned, that way the recipient can use it if they would like.
I made a quick envelope out of a sheet of 12×12 pattern paper, and topped the envelope with this adorable tag I made last year. I used Simply Bold For You Hot Foil for the sentiment, and die-cut the tag with the large Crimped Circle Tag, I topped the tag with a Big Beautiful Bow.
I love how fun this tag is on top of the envelope. It was a last minute thought, and it really helped make the presentation shine.
That’s all that I have for now. Thanks for hanging out with me!

I think this kind of unexpected gifts are just the BEST. You have some awesome neighbors! They are going to be so surprised with your card. The cookies look so beautiful. Very thoughtful of you. The holidays are done for a while. We are getting so much snow and my heart is wandering toward Spring.
Thanks for sharing this beauty.

What a unique and absolutely beautiful Thank You card. Thank you so much for sharing!
Very sweet card (and cookies) for equally sweet neighbors!
I love everything about your thank you card and envelope! It’s the real gifts at Christmas that we’re blessed with, like having wonderful neighbors and friends.
A personal note- I ran into some old neighbors (friends) and our 2 hour visit was one of the Christmas gifts I most cherished.
TFS your “sweet “ card Angelica 😊along with my prayers to all those affected by the California wildfires. 🙏
