I wanted to make some candy bag toppers for 4th of July this year since I've found some fun patriotic themed candies. I used the USA 1776 set, and started by making a rosette, for this first package of Gummy Bears, and included a mini-star embossed background and one of my favorite sentiments in this set. I love what it stands for and how Claire fonted it.
Okay, aren't these candles just the sweetest!!! I LOVE them, and thought they would go beautifully on the packaging of these super fun twizzlers. I framed them with the star frame image and added the "Happy 4th" sentiment along the side. I also added a bit of sparkle cause that's what this holiday has a lot of. :)
Tip: If you'd like the staples hidden, as I have on this package, just staple the base (Mine is white), then adhere a decorative panel to the top to hide them.

Oh my gosh Tosh! look at those patriotic twizzlers! what a great find for your patriotic treat bags!
So fabulously fun, Tosh!
These would be perfect for the 4th bar-b-que...
an American tradition! ;)
And my hubby would love me if I found him some of those Twizzlers...
he has a slight habit! :)
Fabulous Tosh! Those treats are so amazing - they fit the occasion to a 't'!
Darling party swag!
Loving your treat bags! They look amazing!
I am unsure if I left a post, though I did try, I got an error. So if this is duplicate, I apologize.
I said words to the effect of:
oooh those are super.
Wonderful!

What adorable 4th candy toppers...i love the 3-d effect of the first and the fireworks of the 2nd.
Love your ideas for the toppers...the tricolored twizzlers are the best!
Love, love, love!
Get out of here! I love this idea so much and your treat bags are amazing!
Such cute and patriotic treat toppers. Love the roasette.
What cool ideas! Thanks for the ideas.
Your candy toppers are so cute Tosha...love the sentiment you chose and those firecrackers!
Look at you go with these fantastic treats. What a wonderful way to celebrate! Great job Tosha!
Oh I'd love to receive one of these! Eyecatching.
These are SO CUTE!!! A creative way of using the red white and blue-- I could see a float in a 4th of July parade with people tossing these to the crowd, if it wouldn't make someone crazy making enough. Darling!
Love the little treat bag toppers! Fantastic work!!
Just in time for our patriotic holidays! Love this new set!
Very cute candy bag toppers--love the candy you found too.
Absolutely love the way you used stamps to create the packaging for the goodies! I never ever would have thought of this. I'm gonna steal this idea and use it with my grandkids!
I love your patriotic treat bag toppers!
Awesome packaging. (I love packaging.) Both are great. The rosette with the medallion center is awesome. Great job.
What an awesome idea for a treat bag,
LOVE these little goody bags! My 3rd graders performed their patriotic program today, and these would have been the perfect prize for doing a spectacular job! This is one of the best patriotic collections I've seen!

These are the most gorgeous bag toppers! Love them!! They are just the perfect way to make a little treat something special.
Such fun ideas! I need to get my hands on some of those red-white-and-blue licorice candies. And I've already purchased my USA1776 set. Can't wait to try them out. Thanks for sharing!
Love your treat bags: the toppers are the greatest, and where did you find the candies?!!!
I love what you created with the new sets.
Such clever toppers for the red, white, and blue candies. I'll have to keep my eye out for those twizzlers. Thanks for the tip on hiding the staples.
Gorgeous ways to use the stamps...love how your colours match the candies perfectly!
What a great idea! Those gummy bears look yummy!
