Winter Wonderful Decorated Cookie Collection

Winter is a favorite of mine!

I apologize to all of you that dislike winter, but there’s something about cold weather that delights my heart…..snowmen!, warm drinks, snuggling by the fireplace, and most of all……SNOW!

I had so much fun making these cookies with all the textures and sparkle.

I’ll try to behave and move on to Valentines cookies now. haha

Happy Winter!

Silent Night Christmas Decorated Cookie Collection

Christmas is upon us….the most wonderful time of year.

For my final cookie set, I wanted to send a cookie message…..Silent Night, Holy Night, all is calm, all is bright. Jesus came so that we might have life in Him. His birth was the manifestation of God’s incredible love towards us. It makes Christmas so much more meaningful when JESUS is the main point.

 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David,  to be registered with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child.  And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth.  And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.  And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.  And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear.  And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”

Have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!

O Holy Night Christmas Village Decorated Cookie Collection

For several months, I've been dreaming of doing "main street" / "village" type cookies.
I attempted them in autumn HERE.
I wasn't pleased with that set and have been determined to "get it right" at Christmas time.
Honestly, I think the white sanding sugar "snow" in the photo above
is what made them work for me. haha

Cutters Used:
House Cutter
Pocket, Pencil, & Wedding Cake Cutters from Sugarbelle's Shape Shifters

Since I used wet-on-wet technique, I needed to ensure that I had two colors of each hue that were close enough to provide a  slight shadow with each detail.
Here's the colors used for all the buildings and trees.
Notice the small variations of each hue.

I flooded each cookie (excpet for the windows and doors) and then filled those in with the contrasting color. Next I added various lines, waves or window dividers.

They dried overnight and then I used a black food color marker to add small details.
The details are sloppy..... but this style warrants it.
That suits me well since I often feel like sloppy is the effect I get whether I'm trying or not. 😉

 
 

Pastel Christmas Cookie Collection






One of my favorite projects this season.
I've been wanting to do applique, the knitted-look, and a Christmas village.
So I did them all in pastels. :)
