A Pennant Parade Birthday

I am LOVING this new set Pennant Parade and coordinating punch Petite Pennants.  There are sooo many possibilities my brain doesn't know where to focus first!!  Since I have the Just Add Cake DSP, I decided to build a birthday set around that color pallet.  Here's the ensemble.

Today I am focusing on the party favors.  I made two different party favors, both are based off of previous projects I've done.  First I made the CD envelope that mimicked the card.  I wanted to have something besides a cookie in the envelope (what I'd done previously) and ended up using Smarties.  I needed a candy that was fairly flat that would stay nicely put in the envelope.  Well, the Smarties are perfect!!  They looked festive like a party favor should!  Here's the closeup.





I really like the candy in the envelope.  You will be seeing some Halloween ideas for this soon!

Next, I had the clothes pin magnets on the brain after the great response from everyone about the flower magnets.  So...I had to make some party favor clothes pin magnets! :)  I really love the way they turned out.  I used the Just Add Cake DSP and the punch to make these super quick today.

When I thought about packaging, I wanted a way to keep the magnets stable so they could be seen well.  Here's what I came up with.

I die cut a piece of the backing from my Just Add Cake DSP with the Scallop #2 die using the larger of the two circles.  That way the magnets all have a place to clip on and stay pretty!  I placed the set in a large cello bag and it's ready to go!

I will share the rest of the Birthday Set in another blog post, so stay tuned!  Thanks for stopping by!

If it doesn't move..stamp it!!
