WOW is this post ever LATE! I hope it will have been worth it!
I am doing a Christmas Gift Idea Giveaway! Keep reading.
Did you all enjoy the weekend?
Anyone hit the mall?
Yesterday I hit the stores (PACKED with crazy shoppers) with one of my local reader’s “Margie”. We had a blast shopping, then had lunch at TGIFridays! YUM! Tomorrow I’m hitting Target AGAIN-cause of a 4 day SALE!!! I saw toys that were WAY marked down for the event 😀
Today I had a ton of stuff I had to do BEFORE my computer stuff was able to be done :C Sorry. BUT with this post I hope you will find another HELPFUL gift giving idea.
Well ,as you all know I am now one of the designers for this new company called A Chemistry With Paper.
I got 3 sets last week-Christmas Cheer, Holiday Treats, and Hot Holiday Drinks. I cannot put them down.
Let me say I am in LOVE with her images-seriously!! All this week I will post a new sample using the sets I have. They are mainly gift ideas too. So think Holiday ideas.
What I REALLY love is the quality acrylic. I’m talking GORGEOUS, CRISP images. The top quality acrylic is made by Stewart Superior! HELLO! Well worth every penny.
So, for my FIRST item, I will reveal – a Cookie Swap Recipe Booklet!
Now YOU have a chance to win this.
Is this not adorable?? Now, I want you to think of this as gift idea for a lot of people in your life.
When I saw these cookie image’s I went NUTS!
What I did was get recipe’s for 8 of my most favorite holiday cookies, and got I the photos of the finished cookies to match. I then made/saved my own recipe cards!!! All I have to do is print them all off. I used photo paper because I love the look. So clear, and professional-and brings out the YUM factor of the finished baked cookie.
The cookies I included in the gift packer are:
Raspberry Linzer Sandwich Cookies
Chocolate Almond Biscotti
Candy Cane cookies
Lemon Butter cookies
Oatmeal toffee cookies
Christmas ornament dough mix
Sugar Cookies
Peanutbutter Gingerbread man cookies
Photo of recipe cards I made myself.
What a great variety!!!
Now, you want to step it up a bit?
How cool would it be to make a batch of all 8 recipes. Bag ONE of each up, as a taste sampler, and include this super cute Cookie recipe holder?
Considering each recipe makes a few dozen, that could be homemade DELICIOUS gifts-for ALOT of people. Without the HUGE cost.
This particular gift would be FABULOUS for those who organize a Cookie Swap, or just love baking/cooking.
This was also SUPER EASY!!! After I got the recipe cards cut- copied- pasted- sized- printed-and SAVED!!!
Now I can make a TON of these!
Here is a few more views-just click for the LARGER view
Now here is HOW I made it
My recipe cards are 3 1/2 X 5 1/2. So basically you get about 4 per sheet of photo paper.
My cardstock was cut 6 x 9
Simply use your Scor-Pal and score at 1 , 1 1/2, and 5 1/2. DONE!! If you are crunched for time-Use double sided cardstock and you are GOLDEN. Or wheel a pattern if you don’t have any you like.
The flap stays closed with Basic Grey magnetic closures.
I added ribbon to the inside to tie around the holder. This will hold the recipe cards in place, and adds a cute touch! Otherwise they may slip out the sides.
Now how seriosuly SIMPLE is that?
So do YOU want THIS holder? It can be all yours. For YOU or someone else.
Well, then all you have to do is comment here, and tell me which stamp set over at A Chemistry With Paper is your favorite!
I will pick a random winner Tuesdnesday morning by www.random.org. That way I can mail it out Wednesday for you.
Now for a bonus-it you order, then reply back here and tell us what you ordered-that gives you another chance to enter. If you already have some of their images, then also respond with a link to your creation/creations! I’m sure we would all LOVE to see what YOU have done with them!
So stay tuned! More to come!!!
Thanks for reading. I look forward to seeing what everyone thinks.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful idea!!!! I love seeing your creations and what you always come up with.
Love the recipe card holder and the recipes themselves look amazing. I need more time.
I would say Holiday Treats is my current favorite. I was just reading their website and I remembered last time I was there they didn’t have a DT. I was going to write to them to ask about it, now I saw many people did just that. They do have many cool designs, I may have to check back again. Good Luck, can’t wait to see more creations.
Cool recipe cards! Love them! I think my favorite ACWP set is the Christmas Sayings. They really have cute stuff! 🙂
I LOVE the recipe holder! It’s awesome!

So, so cute! I’ve never though of making a recipe holder.
I really love the Holiday Treats set, but a close second would be the labels set. I could think of many uses for both of those adorable stamp sets.
Ohhh-ohhh pick me (jumping up and down) that is beautiful. Great job. I think my favorite sets are Holiday Treats and Winter Fun. So cute.
Definately the Labels & Tags! I love making labels for candy.
Well…if I had to pick only one, I would have to say that my favorite is either Winter Fun or Holiday Treats. As you have shown us, the Holiday Treats can be an awesome addition to home-made gifts! Your cookie folder is adorable! I cannot tell you how cool I think it is! I hope I win…I hope I win…I hope I win……
you are one clever chica, thanks for the great idea! and since i’m in a grateful mood these days, my fave is giving thanks.
I think my absolute favorite set is the Hot Holiday Drinks. How cute is that! I am a big eggnog and hot chocolate drinker so this is right up my alley. I LOVE your cookie folder. Thanks for giving us a chance to get our hands on this! 🙂
I like Christmas Cheer! Thanks for your great blog!

Thank you so much for sharing your creative work & your heart! My favorite set is the Oval Labels!
I love your recipe folder! My favorite A Chemistry with Paper set would be Hot Holiday Drinks, with a close second being Ice Cream Party, as all my family LOVES ice cream!
Oh Lauren Holiday treats is by far my fave, and I have to say that lovely little recipe folder would look marvelous sitting in my kitchen. Thanks for sharing.
Wow their stamps are great. I’m lovin the Holiday Treats. Your gift idea is a creative idea. I love how you added the picture to the recipe. I would be honored to have this sweet recipe holder come to my mailbox. I know so many people that would love to have one of these.
Thanks for a chance.

Wow! I love this idea. So cute and it could be used for other things – coupons, photos, gift card, money or check, but I love your recipe/cookie sampler idea. Thanks for sharing it. I would love to have this as my own. My favorite stamp set is Holiday Treats. I like the one with the sundaes too. Great stamp sets.
They have several adorable sets but I like the one you used – Holiday Treats! I haven’t seen any cute sets with cookies, etc. and this one is! Your idea is very cute and very doable (except maybe for the making and photographing the end results;)! I love it and thanks for sharing!!
I love the hot holiday drinks! I have to find a way to order as they are not currently shipping to Canada and there are three sets that i NEED! Love the cookie idea, you rock!
Can not wait to see your other creations!

autumn picking as the apples look good enough to eat!
‘Love the recipe card holder…what a great gift idea!! Sure hope I win…I’d love your recipes too! Christmas Cheer is my fave set, although all of them are very cute! Thanks for sharing and for this chance to win!!
~Brenda H.
Hot Holiday Drinks is my favorite. What a clever recipe holder!
NancyS (momsnack)
Love the recipe card holder, Lauren! My fave (today!) is Holiday Treats. I NEED Hot Holiday Drinks, too though!
Love the recipe card holder, Lauren! My fave (today!) is Holiday Treats. I NEED Hot Holiday Drinks, too, though!
Oh my gosh your receipe card holder is so cute. Love the receipe cards too what a great gift idea.
I have never heard of this stamp company but of course had to check it out. Love the Christmas cheer set. Can’t wait to see more of what you do with these sets.
I love the set “Labels and Tags” as it would work all year long for giving out goodies. Sure do wish I could order it right now, but I must not think of me as I need to buy other gifts. Maybe after Christmas as it would work for Valentines, Easter, etc. Thank you for this great gift idea. You are so talented.
Cheryl Sims
What a great Idea, Lauren! I’m kind of torn between Holiday Treats and the Labels & Tags set – mostly because labels and Tags could be used throughout the year.
That recipe card holder ROCKS Lauren! LOVE that idea! I’m in a cookie swap with some of the ladies at my daughters school…this would be perfect to give with my cookies!!!
It sucks that I can’t get these stamps in Canada….apparently they only do US orders…total bummer…oh well maybe some day 🙁

Thank you, thank you! I’ve been trying to think of some creative way to do something like this for my cookie exchange party, and you’ve given it to me! I haven’t had any time to think of anything lately, but you came through for me! Hugs!!!
I think Christmas Sayings was my favorite set – but your gingerbread man recipe holder is adorable! How do you come up with so many cute ideas???? This would make a cute gift for brides to be – getting her husband’s favorite Christmas cookie recipes (or other recipes he loves) from his mom in a cute little keepsake case.
My favorite is Holiday Treats. I just love the recipe holder you made with it. I think it is very versitale & super cute. Like Kirsten, I was thinking of what kind of holder to do for my 3rd annual cookie exchange & this would be super cute & pretty simple, TFS!
Holy cow – that is absolutely an awesome gift! I love that you printed the recipes on photo paper – such a simple idea, but one I haven’t thought of.
I love the Labels and Tags set and though I haven’t ordered it yet I’m afraid it just might happen before the day is over. 😉

wow! i had never heard of these stamps before and they are cuteness!! (hello, santa?) i think my favorite is the Christmas cheer set with that cute little reindeer, but those cookie stamps from the treat set look good enough to eat!! i NEED your little recipe book–it’s amazing!! thanks, lauren!
WOW! I would love to receive a handmade gift from you Lauren. And such a great idea. Thank you for sharing!

Teresa
I enjoy reading your blog every day. Thanks for sharing all of your gorgeous creations with us! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Hey there! What a GREAT gift idea…and easy peasy too! Those images ARE adorable, and I’ve been eyeing those stamps for a few weeks, but need to get some more money in the stamp budget, you know? 😉 Anyway – it’s tough to pick ONE favorite, so I think I’m stuck between Holiday Treats, and Cocktail Party…I’ve always wanted a set like that, but the images in Holiday treats are so fun….really tough choice. They’ve got a lot of great stuff 🙂
Thanks Lauren!!! Happy shopping!
I really like the cocktail party set and the winter fun……I think it has a snowman.
Congrats to you for being selected as one of their designers!
You are awesome!!!
Thanks for your creations. I should NOT have gone to that site. That is DANGEROUS!!! I love labels and tags. I have the Papertrey one too, what is wrong with me??? I do love cocktail party too!
Too cute! You come up with the best ideas! I would have to say Holiday Treats is my favorite.
It’s so hard to pick just one! I would probably say Holiday Cheer is my favorite for this time of year. Then I love the Autumn picking set and Halloween one too. Your ideas are way too cute! Love the recipe holder.
I liked the hot holiday drinks
this a great creation as always
I am a sucker for Thankful stamps — Autumn Picking and Ice Cream Party (don’t have any of those!) were really catching my eye.
