In honor of my son Carter’s third birthday today, I have some party favors embellished using the Sketched Birthday stamp set from Stampin’ Up! (wood mount and clear mount).  We are having a small birthday party at the Build-a-Bear Workshop followed by a teddy bear picnic.  I bought a red and white checked table cloth, and I wanted to brighten up the table and make it festive with some Stampin’ Up! magic!

Next time you entertain, you should definitely consider adding some stamped details to your table.  Your guests will be very impressed.  If you enjoy today’s project, I would love to hear from you.  Please leave me a comment and I will enter you into my drawing.  During the month of April, I will be doing a drawing each Sunday.  One lucky winner will receive one of the featured products from Sale-a-bration.  So, if you missed out on the free items during the sale, now is your chance to win one!  Also, if you enjoy reading my posts, why not have them delivered to your inbox automatically.  Just click on the “follow” button in the sidebar.

Teddy Bear Picnic Gift Bag featuring Label Love

I found this tiny teddy bear punch in the back of a drawer (I have no idea when/where I got it from), and I decided it would be a perfect way to embellish the favor bags for the party.  A little DSP and the Label Love stamp set… and “voila” you have a cute gift bag for the guests in a matter of minutes!

Sketched Birthday “Log” Treat Holder

For this treat holder, I inked up my hardwood stamp with Chocolate Chip ink and rolled a cardboard tube from a toilet paper roll across it.  Then I embellished the roll using Real Red Designer Series Paper and the cute balloon stamp from the Sketched Birthday stamp set.  Finally, I put some Teddy Grahams in a plastic baggie and placed them inside my “log” decoration.
