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.

Throw a Party #2: Tag a Bag Goodie Box

 
I think these are my ultimate favorite goodie boxes so far and easy and the most bang for my buck! 
 
They are the Tag a Bag Gift Boxes (130927/ $6.95 for 8.....that comes out to about $1 each with tax and shipping in my area). Okay to the details. 
 
Here is what the boxes look like plain:
 
 
They are a thick cardboard material with clear acetate sleeve. To dress them up I took a piece of cardstock and cut and scored it to fit inside (to match the invitation of course!).  Then I added DSP and punched out labels to give them a personal touch. I also added a dash of matching ribbons ;) They were easy to make and I think everyone loved them!  As for the inside, we had a candy buffet table so everyone got to stuff it with candy.
 
Here are the measurements:
 
Cardstock insert:  7 x 4 3/8 (score at 1 and 3 3/8 on short side)
Cardstock Layer: 6 7/8 x 2 1/2/
DSP layer: 6 5/8 x 2
 
Other tools used: 1 3/8 circle punch and scallop circle punch, SU ribbon
