Birthday Party Favours

Alexander had his 3rd birthday party yesterday and I had fun making the party favour bags for him. I used one of my favourite stamp sets which was in a previous mini catalogue and I so hope they bring it in the next idea and product catalogue. It is called choo choo.

The reason for this post is to show how easy it is to make the bags with the Big Shot!

I cut out the card stock with the Bigz XL Fancy Favor – which means no cutting!!! as the Big Shot does it all for you, Then I stamped my images on the card…

Then with some sticky strip I folded it up, punched in two holes with my crop-a-dile, tied some great red riding hood ribbon to match the ink and filled with lollys and voila!

and

I used the inks Pacific Blue, Riding Hood Red, and Rich Razzleberry oh and of course Black.

Choo Choo

I love this year’s In Color colours and I have been enjoying mixing and matching them with each other and with other Stampin’ Up Colours.

I also love the spring mini and combining the colours and the new stamp sets has been lots of fun.

This is a card I have been working on. I have wanted a train stamp set for … well since I had a baby son and his first birthday was spent at the trains. Finally it is here!!!!

Card: Baja Breeze, Whisper White
Ink: Riding Hood Red, Tangerine Tango, Pacific Point; Basic Black
Stamp Set: Choo Choo; Right On Track Stampin’ Standard Wheel
Accessories: Stampin’ Around Standard Handle; Paper Snips; Stampin’ Dimensionals
Technique:
I rolled the Right on Track diagonally along the card (there is a Stampin’ Around Wheel Guide if one needs to or wants it straight but I didn’t mind if this wasn’t straight along the page)
I then stamped the carriages and engine in different colours, cut them out and used stampin’ dimensionals to place them along the track. I stamped one puff of smoke on the card and then layered the next two with stampin’ dimensinals.

Lots of fun..

Ooops I realised I never published this page… Here is something added to one of the carriages.
