Last week I showed you a project using the fabulous Birthday Doodles stamp set from My Pink Stamper.  This stamp set is only available by purchasing the Birthday Doodles kit which includes everything you see below. Sold exclusively at Shop Pumpkin Spice. 


I usually purchase the Celebrate It bags when Michael’s has them on sale.  They come is a variety of colors and sizes.

·         Black/turquoise zebra scrapbook paper (Hobby Lobby)
·         Turquoise glitter paper (Target)
·         White cardstock
·         Image stamp & Sentiment stamp – Birthday Doodles by My Pink Stamper (Shop Pumpkin Spice)
·         Pink jewel embellishments
·         Blank ink stamp pad & glass block

1.       Stamp shopping bag image on white cardstock.  Color with markers & shade with colorless blender pen.  Cut out this image with scissors leaving ¼” around image.  Adhere to a square of glitter paper and cut out leaving another ¼” of glitter paper. Put aside.
2.      I cut apart my “Happy Birthday” sentiment in ½ so I could use it top and bottom. (yes, you can do this *smiles*) Stamp in black ink onto white cardstock.  Punch out using the Real Estate Sign punch.
3.      Using a pop dot attach the sentiment to the glitter paper.  I found the pop dots stick very well to glitter paper.  Set aside.
4.      Lay bag flat and measure zebra paper the size you’d like for front of bag.  Trim to size and adhere to front of bag.
5.      Attach a piece of pink zig zag ribbon; refer to photo for placement.

  • Tulle (located in fabric department) for flower on front; it's about 4 small pieces of tulle gathered in the center.  I added a purple brad to secure it to the front of the purse.  
  • Sentiment "You're my favorite purse on" ~ Girlie Sayings by My Pink Stamper

T-Ball Baseball Goodie Bags


My sweet sports star Spencer is playing his first year of t-ball and the parents take turns bringing an "after game" snack for each kiddo.  When it was our turn you know I just can't hand each player a pkg. of crackers or brownie -- I need to dress it up, right?? lol!!  




Here is what I did.  You will be amazed how simple, easy and fast these bags were to make. 

I started with plain white lunch bags, cut out a 4" circle template from my Martha Stewart Circle cutter and traced the circle onto the white bag for the "ball". 



 I then used a red marker to draw the "baseball" lines of a half circle and then added dashes on the lines to give the ball a realistic effect.  See -- easy peasy! 



I love to give a sweet message with my goodie bags so I am using the sentiment "Be the Best YOU you can Be!" -- found on the new set My Pink Stamper collection "Never Give Up".  I also added "ALL STAR" from My Pink Stamper's Boy Crazy collection.  I love how you can mix messages up from all of Robyn's collections!






And lastly I wanted to share a picture of my sweet boy Spencer -- he was a big help putting the goodie bags together.  His teammates loved them!  :)


 

Linking up this project at these fun parties!

Much love and I'll be back soon!  
♥Tracy
