We had so much fun doing this! Keep your eyes open for another Zva Blog Hop in the future!

So, I was reading my Martha Stewart magazine the other day and I came across a fun idea. They monogrammed cookies with alphabet stamps. I decided to take it one step further and create Christmas cookies stamped with food coloring. After playing around a bit, I finally found the perfect set to do it with. I used PTI Signature Christmas. The thin lines worked wonderfully. I found that laying the shortbread cookies onto the heated pizza stone melted them ever so slightly. They took the stamp and food coloring really well that way. The colder dough didn't work as well.

Anyway, look how cute they turned out!!




I've been eating PTI all week!

I also created a little gift bag to give some away. I used the small white coffee bags and created a little tag using Signature Christmas and Vintage Labels stamps. I wrapped some Poppy Ink ribbon around the top and added another one of my favorite little birds.




I can't wait to try these for other occassions.:)

Thanks for stopping by!
