Hi bloggers, have a little priject to share today, and it's not a card! My daughter is soon to be 8 years old, (where does the time go?) and her party is tomorrow. I have wanted to personalise party bags before, but never had the confidence. So armed with my lovely Waltzingmouse stamps, I set to.
Whilst grocery shopping in Waitrose I came across these gorgeous party bags (8 for £4, shhh don't tell my hubby!). They are great quality, thick paper and lined inside for any cakes that may get popped inside!
So taking my colour cue from the bags, cut some labels in blue and yellow colour core'dinations, and stamped the leaf motif from Faux Fun Circles around the edge of the blue labels in Brilliance Dew Drop Sky Blue, which has a lovely metallic sheen.
Then using Very Vintage Labels 4, stamped the yellow labels in Antique Linen distress ink.
Wrote all the names on the yellow labels (15 in all!) and assembled using foam dots.
I made the bows using some taffeta ribbon from John Lewis and my new Bow Easy, which I didn't find easy at first, but feel I have the hang of it now after about 20 tries! For the two boys in the party, I have used buttons and gems to decorate their bags.
I am going to enter this into the Creatalicious Challenge, which is for anything 3D, and Crafty Catz challenge, which is Anything but a Card.
Have just seen the new web-store design for Waltzingmouse Stamps, it looks fab! Going back now to have another look.
Hopefully I will have time today to enter the Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge, it ends later today, now where's my mojo?!
Thanks for looking and have a great day

What wonderful party bags for your daughter Pauline! I bet the table looked quite festive with these on it!!
These party bags look absolutely fantastic. I bet your daughter was so excited. All the best for the party tomorrow x
These are so cute! I love these kinds of projects best. You shouldn't sell yourself short, I bet you could tackle all kinds of "anything but a card" projects successfully - many of the templates on Splitcoast are dead easy and SO impressive!
Oh these are TO DIE FOR!!!!! They are so classy and elegant, I bet your daughter loved them. Hope the party goes well. Thanks for joining us at Crafty Catz this week xx
i hope the hubster doesn't read the blog ;) i love the color scheme and the way you stretched the stamps of the faux circles to use as your label background. The bow also look divine -- so keep doing what you're doing. TFS!
What a fabulous idea and a beautiful colour combo!!! Thanks for joining us at Creatalicious!!
