Last Minute Goodie Bags

 

I love making party favors, goodie bags, and all things for parties (except cake!).  A few months before each birthday I start thinking of a theme and what to do.  HOWEVER, it never fails, the date sneaks up on me and then I have to do a last minute scramble to get things ready.  You'd think I'd learn, but no!  This year with the baby has been no exception, except this time I think I have an excuse.  lol  So long story short, the Gift Bag Punch Board came to my rescue.  I needed something fast, easy, but non the less cute!  In fact, my girls have come to love their handstamped invitations and goodie bags so I can't let them down. 

 

I made 20 of these the night before the party and it only took me about 2-3 hours (with some interruptions in between). I kept the stamping simple, same design as the invitations except with the kids names, instead of your invited :)  Little tip on goodie bags, put the kids names on them!  I really hate  dislike when goodie bags get mixed up and I don't know who left theirs behind or who's is who's.

 

Project Info: I made size medium on the punch board.  This was enough to fit a pretty good amount of packaged goodies and candy.  Also, I used the Endless Birthday Wishes stamp set. The top closure (half circle), is simply a circle (circle framelits cut with the big shot) folded down the middle.

 

I tried to make a video making these, but forgot a step, so instead I'm going to post the video Stampin' Up! made on it....ask me if you have any questions.  It's easy to make after you figure out the first.

This club we featured the Tin of Cards Stamp Set, the new Gift Bag Punch Board, and the Birthday Wishes Stamp set.....along with some other new fun items!

Easy Easter Treats, Part 1

Hello Everyone,

With Easter around the corner I thought I would share some easy DIY Easter Treats with you.  Back in the day, when I was a new aunt I loved making personalized Easter baskets for my nieces and nephews.  I have fond memories of Easter celebrations, so it was fun for me to make fun baskets.  Now, fast foward and 15 nieces and nephews later, plus my own kids, that is no longer possible.  But, I still love to make Easter treats....just on a smaller scale ;)

So in the next few days I'll be sharing a few Easter treats and favors that you can make.  I even have 2!! videos to share too!!  So, please come back Monday to Thursday of this week to see my daily creations.  They are pre-programmed so you'll be certain to find new ideas on these days!  On Friday, I will share my favorite Easter tradition....I'll give you a hint....it involves egg shells and confetti!

Click below for a quick video on how to make the Cream Cheese Container Favor in the picture above.  All you need is sticky strip, designer series paper, tissue and some treats to put inside.
