Travel Backpack Birthday Favor

Number of View: 3141

I’ve been brainstorming for Kyle’s birthday party idea since June. I’ve already booked a party at a moonbounce place and it’s about 1.5 month away. Since the birthday party place is far for most of our guests, I thought travel theme would be a great idea. I’ve already started making the invitation (Thanks, Stephanie!), so I’ll post it as soon as I’m done. =)

For the birthday favor, I wanted to make a faux leather luggage and fill it with goodies. But then, I thought a backpack would be a better idea for 5 year olds birthday party. I wasn’t going to start making the favors till October, but I saw 3D challenge (Pack-It-Up: Knapsack) on Paper Craft Planet, and thought I should head start on the project. This is just a draft (mock-up?) Hehe.

Stamp: Purple Onion Designs “Homegrown Alphabet“;
Tried to get the embroidered look with puff/gel pens, but it looks more like zebra print to me, hehe.
Plan to personalize with our guests’ names.

Uh-oh~! I hope they don’t sue me for downloading the bottle image from their website. Hehe. I plan to put indivisually packaged water flavor powder stuff inside the flap.

OUTHOUSE~~~

Well… Everybody go potty, right? And, you do use public restrooms when you travel, right? Heehee.

Put the brads from the back to create this door lock.

Stamp: Lizzie Anne Designs Little People, “Knight”. Punched the eyes out (heh?) with a hole punch.
Punch: Stampin’ Up! Round Tab. Hmmm… is it just me or does it look like a toilet seat? I think it’s just me. Hehe.
Font: Cloister Black (medieval font) from daFont.com. I couldn’t come up with funnier line. I’ll change to “Lady” instead of “Lord” for the girl guests.
Oh yeah… it’s a box for the moist wipe/wet towel. I believe it’s flushable. =)

Hot air balloon excursion! I don’t have any hot air balloon stamps, so I used a digi element instead.

I’m still debating if I want to just make money clips (stiffened the ribbon and wrapped around the hair pin) or make wallets (And add chocolate gold coins).

Here’s a bookmark I made for me. I love pink, green, and brown color combo. That’s why my football player is in pink and green =)

So… I WON Lizzie Anne’s latest summer releases two weeks ago (Hooray~!) and they sent me the new single stamps, too! I’m a Lizzie Anne Monthly Mix Club member (I LOVE LIZZIE ANNE STAMPS!!!) and signed up to receive two single stamps as well. Now I have two of two new singles.

So… Would you like my extra stamps? I’ll send these two single stamps to the FIRST PERSON to leave comment here.
