Simple party favor bags

My daughter had a sleepover for her 14th birthday party and I made these super simple and quick party favors for her friends to take home.  I'm all about simple and quick these days.  I cut the handle out of chevron embossed cardstock with my Silhouette Cameo.

 I found the cardstock at Michaels and  love it so much I bought it in several colors and designs.

I bought the small sacks at Hobby Lobby and cut the length down to 5" so the bags end up being roughly 3.5 x 5. which is a great size for party favor bags--not too big and not too small.

Holiday project

The November challenge for the Scrappin' In The City design team is a gift idea.  I made this simple square box and used my Silhouette machine to cut out the winter scene for the front.  

 

 

I tied a simple tag on the bow using a new clear stamp set from Stampin' Up and a tiny tag die cut from Papertrey Ink.

 

The box is 3x3 so it's a nice size to hold a variety of small gifts.

 

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Stamp set:  Christmas Tagables (Stampin Up)

Paper:  Neenah white cardstock, Enchanted Evening (PTI), Pool Party and Smoky Slate (SU!)

Hello Kitty card

Simple card but it took forever to make--all those small pieces were a pain to glue down.  This card is for my niece who is having her 7th birthday party today and loves Hello Kitty. 

 

My youngest daughter chose the pattern paper and helped design the card.

The pink pattern paper and the pink scallop strip match better in person!

I found a .jpeg of Hello Kitty online and used the trace feature in my Silhouette software to turn it into a cut file.  I had to do a little cleaning up but it was pretty easy overall.  I have a co-worker who adores Hello Kitty, so I'll get to use this file again.

 

Have a wonderful Saturday!

Flowers and Chevrons. Chevrons and Flowers.

 

Happy Friday!

 

click me :)



Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to incorporate chevrons and flowers into your clean and simple design.

 

I cut a cake shaped card with my Silhouette and blew the dust off my chevron dies. The flower was last week's free shape in the Silhouette store.

 

 

 The chevrons are cut from gold, shimmery cardstock--you can't see the shimmer well in the photo.

 

Sponsor this week is super cool.  The winner will get a $25 gift certificate to Ellen Hutson!

 

 

Thanks for stopping by and TGIF!!

Mother's Day card

I found out about the Die Cut Diva's challenge site on Jess's blog and since I love my new Silhouette machine, and I have a mother, I thought I'd participate in the Mother's Day Challenge.  I made this card using a file I purchased from the Silhouette store.  My Mom loves her garden so I'm sure she'll love this flower pot card.

Have a good one!
