MFT: Christmas M&M Treats & Tutorial

Hi everyone! How's the last minute Christmas shopping going? If you were smart, you finished your shopping LONG ago... but if you're like me (eg. lagging LOL) you're probably a tad bit stressed and lacking sleep. LOL! But I love the holiday hustle and bustle... I just need more sleep. hehehe!!! There's something about the crowds and the insanity in the mall parking lot that draws out the Christmas spirit in me... hehehe!

Anywhooo..... today, I have a special project to share with you all. I made these M&M treats for my son Logan's classmates. I think they are just so adorable! My inspiration came from Jen. I met her at my son Dylan's cultural feast at school. She made these cute little M&M candies with a santa hat topper. I found out that she's a scrapper (which are hard to come by in my area!) so it was really nice chatting it up with her albeit only for a short while (if you're reading this Jen, here's a shout out to you --- thank you for the fun inspiration!) :-)

To change up the project a bit, I used some super fun My Favorite Things products. The Die-namics Textile Rectangle stamp and die set is so awesome -- I'm officially in love with the die. LOL! Then again, I'm in love with EVERY MFT die currently on the market, who wouldn't be?! I couldn't believe my eyes when I was able to cut out 2 good quality pieces of designer paper at the SAME time with the die! It sure was a time saver (I'm hoping I didn't break any "do not do that" rules for the die... yikes... but these dies are so SUPER durable, and like I said... I can't get enough of these!! hehe!)

The two stamp sets that I used are the "You Spin Me Around Additions" set and the "Santa Baby" set. Both super fun and versatile stamp sets.
