I always like to give a thank you goody-bag at my launch parties...who doesn't like to receive a bag of treats?? This year I had mini tote bags with a hand-made tag and inside were a few fun bits and pieces. My 2 favourites were the Malteser box and In Color bookmark.
Here's a front view of the Malteser box, decorated with the
Button Buddies stamp set and a Big Shot Die button:

The ribbon holds the front flap shut. Here's a side view. The Maltesers sit in a hole cut with the Modern Label punch:

And inside...yummy!

To make these I started with a 26.5 x 7cm piece of cardstock (you can get 3 from an A4 sheet)
and scored at 7, 9.5, 16.5, 19, 21.5 and 24cm.
My second favourite item was the In Color bookmarks. I made both of these projects (40 of each) at Stamp Camp. I like having some production-line work to get on with at events like that. Late on the Friday night, I had almost finished all 40 bookmarks but my bed was calling me, so I decided to call it quits and finish the next day. When I sat down at my table the next morning they were all finished for me with a note stamped "love from the in color fairy". How sweet is that?
Here are the bookmarks:

The top edge is folded, and it opens up and there is a magnet inside so it stays in place in your book.
Hopefully all the ladies at my Launch Party liked their gifts...I'm sure all the Maltesers are long gone!
Your 'In color fairy' must have come from America with that spelling!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your launch Marelle, I'm sure everybody enjoyed their goodies.

The bookmark is currently nestled in a Thomas Hardy book I'm reading and the tabs are on my catalogue - so useful. And yes, Maltesers long gone. Great gifts - thanks!
