I absolutely love planning themed events especially when there is a large group of fun women and stamping involved. This past weekend was my Holiday Catalog Kick Off Party and we had an owl-themed Halloween Party with 25 crazy stampers. I actually hate Halloween the holiday (and have since I was a kid) but I LOVE Halloween decorations and cute ways to package Halloween treats. And what is a party without party favors?
I made 25 of these cute little votive party favors and was pretty pleased with the way they turned out. The votive holders are very inexpensive (about $1.00 each at my local craft store) but if you purchase the bridal pack which is a pack of 16 they are only about $0.50 each and I used a 40% off coupon which brought the individual cost down even more. (and I still have a few left for Christmas,yeah!)
I found pumpkin scented votives and I knew Stampin' Up's new spider web doilies would give the votives a cool eerie look when lit. I also used the Happy Haunting Designer Series Paper and the Sweet Hauntings Stamp Set, all from the new Holiday catalog.
I did heat emboss the "Poison" bottles for some added shine and dimension. They were also popped up with stampin' dimensionals. I then packaged them in some little cello bags I had on hand and finished my tags off with a bit of coloring and some black eyelash yarn. The tags were attached to the bags with black and orange mini clothespins that I found at a local store. So cute and they were a big hit! And the best part was that each one of them had a ticket on the bottom that corresponded with a door prize! Everyone went home with a gift!
I hope you enjoyed my fun little party favor and thanks for stoppin' by!
