Stampin Up petite purse die party bag favours

Following on from Sunday's post I have continued making party favours but this time for a friend who's celebrating a slightly bigger birthday than my daughter ;) She wanted something to put a few girly bits n pieces in for our celebration night out, so I came up with these little cuties. 



I made them in a variety of colours to suited the recipients style and used the Petite Purse Bigz L die for the basic shape and ran it through my Big Shot - much easier than trying to cut a paper template accurately each time ;) 

The flap was simply affixed with a brad as were the ends of the bag handles and then decorated in  variety of designer series paper - the photo shows from top left Attic Boutique (retired), Comfort Cafe, Twitterpated, Floral District and Attic Boutique again - I so loved this vintage themed pastels paper {sighs}
Bagged up in cello then ribboned to finish and voila - some cute little bags, simple but effective I'm sure you'll agree? Much easier for us to dance around ;)

Here's another few that I made for a Christmas craft fair and sadly just never got around to posting them on here. The card stock used for these were the lovely warm & rich colours of the new In Colours Gumball Green and Raspberry Ripple teamed with the Snow Festival designer series papers - hopefully these will make a comeback later this yer in the Autumn/Winter catalogue. 



Sorry it's short and sweet today but the children are back at school after half term so am dashing about between school, pre-school & nursery to collect them all at different times! Little Women has a lot to answer for ;)
