Here's a closer look at some more of the
Birthday Favors I created last weekend for the
Stampin' Addicts Birthday Blog Hop and some tips to make them. Again, I used the
Sweet Pea Paper Stack from the Stampin' Up!
Occasions Mini Catalog for all my
Birthday Favors. For this ensemble, I just used the greens and blues, instead of the oranges and pinks.
Both of these
Birthday Favor sets include several items from the
Sale-A-Bration Mini Catalog and the
Occasions Mini Catalog. Can you list all the
FREE Sale-A-Bration items from these
Birthday Favors and the previous
Birthday Favors?

This party theme is based on an
Amusement Park visit, so, of course, we had to have
Bag Tags. These personalized
Bag Tags are something the kids could stamp themselves as an activity, or you can make quickly and easily before the party. I used the plastic Badge Holders that you can find at any office supply store. I cut a piece of
Old Olive cardstock to fit inside the Badge Holder and then added some layers of cardstock and pattern paper. To personalize the Bag Tags I stamped a monogram using the
Lovely Letters alphabet. These are tied to the girls' bags with a piece of
Ribbon.
TIP: Use the flame from a lighter to just barely melt the ends of your cut ribbon to prevent unsightly fraying, especially where the ribbon will be well used, such as on these Bag Tags.
Recipe:
Stamps: Lovely Letters, Friends Rock,
Cardstock: Old Olive, Crushed Curry, Bermuda Bay, Whisper White, Sweet Pea DSP
Ink: Bermuda Bay
Accessories: Crushed Curry Polka Dot Ribbon, Perfect Polka Dots Texture Folder for the Big Shot, 1 1/4" Circle and 1 3/8" Circle Punches
Another quick and easy
Birthday Favor uses the
Sweet Treat Cups from Stampin' Up! I just included some M&M's in matching colors. This is layered with some more paper from the
Sweet Pea Paper Stack and tied off with ribbon. The sentiment is from
Teeny Tiny Wishes and is adhered to the
Treat Cup with
Mini Glue Dots.
TIP: Don't forget the 1 3/4" Circle Punch to create the mats for the Sweet Treat Cups. I just cut a little 'X' on the back of this Sweet Treat with my Hobby Blade so that it was easy for the kids to get their candies out.Recipe:

Cardstock: Old Olive, Bermuda Bay, Whisper White, Sweet Pea DSP

Accessories: Sweet Treat Cups, 1 3/4" Circle Punch, Crushed Curry Polka Dot Ribbon, Word Window Punch, Modern Label Punch
This
Photo Frame is really quick and easy to make, too (seeing a theme here?!) I used a piece of
5"x12" Old Olive cardstock, scored at
1", 6" and 11". Fold on all the score lines and adhere the bottom and top tabs to a
2"x5" piece of
Old Olive cardstock to give the photo frame a wide base. I added a mat of
Sweet Pea DSP. The
Bermuda Bay photo mat is run through the
Big Shot with the
Scallop Square Die and adhered with
Stampin' Dimensionals. The mat accommodates a 4x4 photo, so you can easily crop a 4x6 photo down to fit the
Photo Frame and send home with the party goers.
Recipe:
Stamps: Oval All
Cardstock: Old Olive, Bermuda Bay, Whisper White, Sweet Pea DSP
Ink: Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry marker
Accessories: Crushed Curry Polka Dot Ribbon, Scallop Square Die for the Big Shot, Large Oval and Scallop Oval Punches, Stampin' Dimensionals, Mini Glue DotsTIP: If you're struggling with the ribbon bow, just wrap a piece of ribbon around your project and adhere it down. Then take a piece of ribbon and create two 'bunny ears', one in each hand. Tie these bunny ears around each other once to create a bow. Fluff the bow and arrange the center knot as needed. Attach to your ribbon wrap with a Mini Glue Dot.
