Real Red Goodie Gear Simply Created Kit

How cute are these Real Red Goodie Gear bags from Stampin' Up? 

So key-yoot!! And so easy to make. And so inexpensive. The Real Red Goodie Gear Simply Created Kit (132161) is only $4.95 and you get enough elements to make 10 goodie bags. The kit contains die-cut Kraft paper tags, die cut banners, stickers, Bermuda Bay Baker's Twine, and the cellophane bags. The kit coordinates with the "Oh, Goodie!" stamp set (131886 $10.95 for wood; 131889 $8.95 for clear). All you need to add is goodies for the bag. (OK, and you'll need adhesive, too.) I got some inexpensive bags of starlite mints--on sale!--at the grocery store. It took me less than an hour to put together all ten adorable bags.

These real red goodie bags would make great teacher's gifts, sweet gifts for your teen to give her friends at the holiday season, Secret Santa gifts, gifts for co-workers, holiday party favors. You name it.

And there is a Pumpkin Pie Goodie Gear Simply Created Kit, too! (132792) Fill that one up with candy corn or candy pumpkins (oh, how I love those candies!!) and you've got cute favors for your child's elementary school Halloween party. Or give the bags to your Sunday School class. Hey! I know my co-workers would love them, too!

The members of my Christmas card making club are going to get goodie bags as one of their surprise gifts for joining the club. I know they'll love them--and you will, too!

First Three Cards for My Upcoming Christmas Card Class

Following the lead of one of my fave stampers, Lyssa Zwolanek, whom I've mentioned several times in my blog, I'm running a Christmas card making club. I'm designing 3 different Christmas cards each moth and my club members will stamp 4 cards of each design. So, they'll be making 12 cards a month.  We're meeting in August, September, October, and November--and we'll have 48 hand-stamped Christmas cards completed before Thanksgiving!! That's unheard of in my life! I'm going to be stamping along with my club members. Thanks for the terrific idea, Lyssa.

Wanna see the cards? Here are the first three. Don't you wish you were making these, too?
