Hi everyone! It’s Day 3 and the final day of the Memory Box/poppystamps blog hop. If you arrived from Jeanne’s blog, you’re on the right track! We’re celebrating gift giving with holiday gift tags and or treats.
Have you checked out the new online gift store, Birch Press Design? Wow, gorgeous gifts to give yourself, friends and relatives!
Dave Brethauer, the owner and creator of Memory Box and poppystamps, has a new venture called Birch Press Design that features letterpress, laser cut, and printed card designs, as well as beautiful products for your home.
Each day of the hop (December 2-4) Memory Box and poppystamps will be giving away a prize from Birch Press Design. Two winners each day. Comment now through December 10th for a chance to win. *Winners will be selected from the Design Team posts.*
The prize for today is the winner’s choice of a Birch Press Design Apron. Photo of one below… love it! I only own a few aprons but I think they would be so fun to collect!
I made two tag/envelope/paper bag treatments for some really cute dark chocolate bars I picked up at the grocery store. Oh my, I LOVE the wrappers on them…so festive and inspiring! Here’s a link to their online site… Theo
I’m not sure how good they will be but I’m going to keep the wrappers! I suppose I could give them away and not eat them… maybe they’ll still have some when I go back! Then I could get a few to share! lol
My favorite dark chocolate bars are Green & Blacks organic dark chocolate mint and 70% dark chocolate. So good. oops. sidetracked. hohoho
Here are some pictures!

And another one…
The base for my gift tags is one of those office type envelopes, from the Timbergrove paper collection by Fancy Pants, with the circles on the back that you wind the string back and forth around. A great holder for some ‘cash’! The ‘treat’ can fit in the paper bag. I get the paper bags at Starlitstudio.net Isn’t this one fun?! Great for a lot of occasions.

Pam , beautiful hop post! Your tags are gorgeous! I absolutely love the way you used the stacked teacups, so pretty in those colors and I love all the layers on each tag. You always inspire!
Love the coffee cups! It’s such a versatile die. Wish I had the die already as I just decided to host a neighborhood get-together.
