Hi! 

A couple of weeks ago I showed you the Ninjago themed invitations my son and I made for his birthday party.  His friends loved them and ours has been in pride of place on the fridge ever since. 

On the weekend I was looking for ideas for lolly bags and other things for his party. The party is on Saturday and I have approximately zero hours of free time between now and then, so any ideas needed to be quick and easy!

If you google “free Ninjago printables”, you will get lots of options for printing off Ninjago eyes in a range of different sizes. A few minutes today with a printer, some scissors and a glue runner and Ta Da!!  I present to you, “white ninja” lolly bags:

   

Add some mini eyes on white label stickers, and voila! Blue ninja water bottles for each child: 



Most glueing and sticking was lovingly done by Mr Soon-to-be-six himself. 

My next challenge is Ninjago cupcakes for the party.  Stay tuned! 

Thanks for reading.

I’ve done a few posts over the past few days on how I’ve been trying to use up all the little bits and pieces of card stock and DSP I have lying about my office/craft room.

I have been on a mission lately and made a pile of cards from the paper cluttering up my desk.  I donated them to a local op shop which makes me feel good as well as well as having an (almost) clean desk!

Here’s another card design which is great for using up scraps.   I’ve used Tangerine Tango (14cm x 14 cm) and Whisper White (13cm x 13cm) card stock with scraps in varying sizes from the Sycamore Street DSP & Tangerine Tango ribbon from this year’s Sale-A-Bration.

One tip – when assembling the presents I used a small scrap of offcut paper and stuck the rectangle “presents” to the scrap.  This made it really easy to keep the rectangles aligned and tie the ribbon before attaching the “presents” to the Whisper White card.

I also made a version where I ran the Whisper White version through the Big Shot with the Square Lattice embossing folder.

I also made a 7cm x 7 cm gift card:

The Happy Birthday label is stamped in Tangerine Tango on Whisper White from the Itty Bitty Banners stamp set and cut out with the matching framelits.

This basic design could be used in any colour scheme – I think it would look great in ‘Christmassey’ colours as an easy but effective Christmas card too.

Thanks for stopping by!
