There’s something magical about holiday baking. The warmth of the oven, the scent of cinnamon and sugar filling the house, and the joy of decorating cookies—whether they turn out like works of art or a hilarious frosting explosion! But let’s be real—it’s never just about the cookies. It’s about the laughter, the traditions, and the memories that make the holiday season truly special.
This One Cute Cookie Christmas Baking Scrapbook Layout is more than just paper and embellishments—it’s a snapshot of holiday joy. Inspired by the giggles, the frosting-covered fingers, and the pride on my little man’s face as he decorated his Christmas treats, this page is a celebration of the sweetest moments of the season.
Because sugar cookies might disappear in a day, but the memories? Those last forever.
🎄 Materials List: Create Your Own ‘One Cute Cookie’ Christmas Baking Scrapbook Layout!

✂️ Paper & Cardstock:
✔ Stampin’ Up! “Take a Bow” 6x6 DSP – For patterned stars
✔ Stampin’ Up! Cardstock – Pool Party, Granny Apple, Real Red, Crumb Cake (for stars and embellishments)

🎨 How to Create the ‘One Cute Cookie’ Layout – Step-by-Step!
This Christmas baking scrapbook layout was built from scratch—just like a batch of holiday cookies! Let’s break it down!
1. Stamping: Using the CTMH Intense Black Ink, I stamped images from the Sweetest Star and Freshly Baked sets. After drying, these were vibrantly colored with Stampin’ Blends and Tri-Blend Markers.
2. Punching Stars: I used the Sweetest Star punch on various papers from the Take a Bow DSP, as well as on solid cardstock in thematic colors, with edges inked to match.
3. Base Preparation: I cut an 11” square from the center of Candy Apple Cardstock to create a framed effect on the layout’s border.
4. Blending and Splattering:
An 8x8 circle scrap helped guide the application of Glacier ink on White Daisy Cardstock, setting the stage for a frosted background effect.
Once the circle was dry, I used a piece of scrap cardstock, turned it diagonally, and spattered Glacier Shimmer Brush to add some sparkle.
🎁 Assembling the Layout: Let’s Bake Up Some Magic!
1. Base Assembly
Attach the Candy Apple border to the White Daisy cardstock.
2. Adding Elements
Position the print and cut baking trays from the CTMH Digital Art Kit in the bottom right-hand corner
3. Star Arrangement
Arrange the patterned paper stars around the circle. Half of each star should overlap into the white area, creating a glow effect around the wreath.
4. Photo Placement
Place your photo in the center of the baking trays.
5: Add stamped and colored images of frosting bags and a Santa cookie, popping up the Santa cookie with foam tape for dimension.
6. Cookie Embellishments
Apply foam tape to the back of the remaining stamped cookies and arrange them around the wreath.
7. Title and Final Touches:
Position the title "One Cute Cookie" in the top left of the wreath, accompanied by the oven mitts to the right and rolling pins beneath the title for a charming finish.
