Happy Cake Day Party Favors

23
Oct
Leave a Comment

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia here today with my first post using the fun Happy Cake Day collection. I love making party favors. They can really help to create a festive vibe at your party. Instead of making just a couple cake boxes, I made an entire cake! Best of all, they can be displayed on a cake plate just like a real cake.

I made a combination of chocolate and strawberry cake boxes using several different pattern papers for my frosting. Some pretty rosette ribbon looks just like piped frosting along the edge of my cake.

You can decorate the boxes with stickers or die cut ephemera pieces like I did here.

The tops of the cake boxes come off to reveal a nice sized space for treats.

Each cake box also has it’s own candle. A little bit of yellow stickles gives them a warm glow.

Wouldn’t you love to receive one of these cake box party favors when you attend your next birthday party! You can find the cut file at SVGcuts, It’s called B is For Birthday.  Be sure to check out the Happy Cake Day collection for your families birthdays.

Supplies:
Happy Cake Day collection 12×12 paper pad
Happy Cake Day collection ephemera with foil accents
American Crafts cardstock

Halloween Party Fun

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia here today. I love throwing Halloween parties. It’s fun to decorate the house and invite people over whether its a pumpkin carving party or a Halloween costume party. Of course, part of the fun is creating some party favors to help set the mood. Here is what I came up with using the This is Family collection that Jen Hadfield designed …

Even though this collection is not Halloween based, the colors of the pattern papers have a Fall air about them and I had no problems making them work. The kids will get a kick out of these pumpkin treat bags. I used a svg cut file from SVGcuts called Barn Party. These treat bags could be filled with candy or even popcorn. A clear acetate sheet let’s you see just what treats are inside.

I also spray painted the outside of some pint sized mason jars to look like candy corn. A trick here to prevent overspray is to wrap some scrap paper around the jar and affix with a rubber binder. I spray painted my jars with the opening face down to prevent getting any paint inside the jar.

Once the paint was dry I cut faces from black vinyl to adhere to them.

Box cards make great table decor on your buffet table. This Jack-In-The-Box black cat isn’t too scary. I have a couple of black cats that I took in as strays so it was hard to resist making this one. This svg cut file is also from SVGcuts and is called Halloween Box Cards. It does fold flat in case you wanted to mail it.

I hope this gives you some ideas if you are planning on throwing a Halloween party. This Is Family papers and embellishments are sold through American Crafts. You can also get the This Is Family collection at JoAnn Fabric Stores!

Party Favor Gifts

Well, hello friends! It’s Wendy Sue here today and I’m planning a fun little girl’s night next weekend, and what’s a party without fun little take-home gifts? I love filling cute little boxes with some of my favorite things (lip gloss, lotion, chocolate truffles, etc.) for my bff’s – and it’s so much fun to wrap them up differently every time! This time, I used a fun cut file (#294809 in the Silhouette Store) and products from the “This is Family” collection. I think they are pretty, and they were super easy to create! Keep reading for the details!

I started by cutting the shape from several papers – I’ll walk you through the entire process below!

First, cut it out:

Next, fold gently along the scored lines for the box ends and add adhesive to the handle.

Glue the handles together and fold the ends.

Choose coordinating washi tape and wrap all around the middle to keep the ends securely closed (be sure to put the treats inside BEFORE taping it shut)!

Now add a coordinating printed die-cut on top of the washi.

Create a layered tag by cutting the printed tags from the page, then cutting an additional tag shape from a coordinating paper. Punch a 1/2″ circle and cut one of the sides off.

Layer the pieces together and glue.

Use a smaller hole punch to punch through the pink circle portion.

Use coordinating string, twine, or ribbon to tie the tag to the handle of the box.

Hawaiian Luau Party Decor

Aloha everyone, Heather Leopard is here and with summer fully upon us here in the States, I’ve been daydreaming about Hawaii. I figured why not throw a little Hawaiian party on a random Friday?!?!

Aloha Luau Party by @HeatherLeopard @PebblesInc #MyBrightLife #aloha #madewithpebbles #hawaiian #luau #party #pineapple #luauparty #partydecor #giftbag #goodybag

The new My Bright Life collection has the perfect mix of colors to pull this Hawaiian Luau Party off. The decor I created includes garland I cut and strung, cupcake holders and toppers to resemble a pineapple and a few goody bags. Let’s take a look at how it came together

Lei inspired garland

The backdrop features a lei inspired garland. To get this look, I cut plumeria flowers out of two different patterned papers as well as palm leaves in two different sizes and then large yellow circles. I created 7 garland strips each containing 10 pieces (a mix of flowers, leaves and circles). Once I had 10 pieces for each strand, I ran them through my sewing machine with a straight stitched until I got to the end. I repeated that process 6 more times.

Pineapple cupcakes

So I cheated with store bought cupcakes and they’re a mix of chocolate and vanilla – not pineapple but I dressed them up as pineapples.  Using a cut file I purchased, I simply cut cupcake wrappers and pineapple toppers using my electronic die cut machine.

The wrappers have little cuts in them and when you bend them back slightly, it resembles a pineapple.

The pineapple toppers can be inserted right into the icing. So easy and oh so cute!

Goody Bags

Aloha Luau Party by @HeatherLeopard @PebblesInc #MyBrightLife #aloha #madewithpebbles #hawaiian #luau #party #pineapple #luauparty #partydecor #giftbag #goodybag

Since Hawaii is known as the rainbow state and “Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World” by Israel “IZ” Kamakawiwo`ole is one of my all time favorite songs, I made Rainbow tags for the goody bags.

They are cut into squares and feature a scallop circle and “Mahalo”, the Hawaiian word for Thank You. I decided to add some palm leaves and a flowers as well.

I hope this mini Hawaiian Luau party I am hosting for my girls this weekend has you daydreaming of Hawaii as well.

Mahalo,

Heather
