Candy canes are a staple of Christmas. They are so inexpensive, delicious, and versatile. When I saw the Sweet Candy Canes Bundle, I knew I had to have it. The DSP works perfectly with the dies to cut out cute candy canes. The set also comes with dies to create a simple tag to put on a real candy cane. This bundle will work great for a whole gift package for someone special in your life.
