Cute Stash Bags!

One thing I love to do; because my love language is gifts, is make stash bags for parties. I like to send everyone away feeling like they were all celebrated! So, it should come as no surprise that I made stash bags for the upcoming luau birthday party! And yes, I used the digi stamps (mosdigitalpencil.com) I built the whole party around ;).
For this bag I got a pack of ten at the dollar store. I cut the colored stamps using Sampin' Up!Floral Framelits dies. I glued this down then used a giant flower punch to make the extra flowers. I added names cut out on my Sizzix.
To get the 3-D look on the flowers I pinched each petal while using my other hand to press up from behind. I could have added some gems in the centers, but did not want to overkill something the kids are gonna' throw out. It's always best to go into a project with realistic expectations, to avoid disappointment.
I will add little favors like stickers, candy, tiny toys for a fun bag each kid can take home to play with later!
