Blossom Party Favor

Hello Friends,
Welcome to another challenge over at Decorate to Celebrate.  The challenge for this week is to create any theme party decorations for a party!! I hope you will join us and enter your challenge HERE and take the time to check out all the amazing projects from the Design Team!!

OK, so for my project today I used one of my FAVORITE punches the Blossom Punch which also matches the stamp set Mixed Bunch!  This treat bag can be used for a wedding anniversary ,wedding, baby shower or bridal shower party.

Thank you for visiting today and have a fantastic crafty day!!

I punched four flowers and spritzed them with water and scrunched them together, I then opended the flowers to stack together and added a retired SU brad to the center but any brad will do and so then you will have to scrunch the flowers again a bit and when it dries it will form to the way you scrunched it.

The bag is the Fancy Favor Bigz Die. The modern label punch was used for the tag along with the Oval Accent Bigz Clear Die for the lid.  I then used Velcro to be able to open and close the lid.

I used the Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer Punch to create the flower and the Little Leaves Die. I used the Labels and Heart Framelits which will be carried over to the new catalog. I sprayed the frames with some Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz which you can hardly see on the pictures but OMG! it looks lovely in person! 

I used the Framed Tulips in the Flirtatious Specialty Paper and inked it up with Concord Crush using the Sponge Daubers. I stamped the heart and label frames with the Distressed Dots stamp and emboss them with white emboss powder.
