We had some amazing food, including two types of chili, cheesecake mini cupcakes, chocolate covered pretzels, and the hit of the party - maple pecan shortbread bars. Yummo!
For attending the party, I gave each of my guests an I heart stamping apron party favor. How adorable are they?!?
This sweet party favor is made using the new Apron of Love Bundle (#145986). The Apron of Love Bundle truly spoke to me. I look to cook and bake. My husband loves to grill. And, it reminds me of the Stampin' Up! apron I wear at craft shows, workshops, and get togethers. Plus, I couldn't resist the "I heart stamping" stamp!
The Apron of Love Bundle was on my top three must have bundles from the 2018 Occasions Catalog. I was so excited about it that I overnighted my order!
This apron party favor consists of an open topped box sandwiched between two aprons. The aprons are wide enough to fit a box large enough that you can fill with all kinds of sweet treats. Here I added a handful of tie-dyed foil wrapped chocolate kisses.
I die cut two aprons - one for the front and one for the back. Then I attached the apron strings on top of the apron, stamped the I heart stamping image, and adhered the apron pocket.
The apron pocket is from the Picture Perfect Party Designer Series Paper Pack. I have to say this Designer Series Paper was the inspiration for the colors of the aprons - Bermuda Bay, Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist, and Peekaboo Peach. The color scheme/palette is so happy and festive!
The box was made in two pieces using the Simply Scored Scoring Tool. Start with a 4-1/2" x 1-3/4" piece of cardstock. With the 4-1/2" edge along the top of the Simply Scored Scoring Tool, score at 1-3/4" and 2-3/4". This piece will be the base of the box. The first scored section is glued to the back of the first apron. The second scored section is the bottom of the box. And, the third scored section is glued to the back of the second apron. Once the base is attached, the party favor will have a u-shape.
Then score a 5-1/2" x 1-3/4" piece of cardstock. With the 5-1/2" edge along the top of the Simply Scored Scoring Tool, score at 1", 2", 3-3/4", and 4-3/4". This piece will act as the sides of the box. Starting the center scored section (between the 2" and the 3-3/4" scored sections), adhere the cardstock to the center of the back of the apron (over top of the box base).
Fold the side panel between the two aprons (the area between the 1" and the 2" scored sections). Glue the 1" scored section to the left side of the 2nd apron. Bring the 4-3/4" scored section to right side of the 2nd apron and secure it with glue.
The chocolate kisses were stacked in a 2" x 8" cellophane bag and tied with Lemon Lime Twist Ombre Ribbon and with Calypso Coral Ombre Ribbon. I found the tie-dyed foil wrapped chocolate kisses at my local grocery store. I think they really add more pops of color and brightness.
You could alter the front of the apron to suit your party theme or gift theme. For a more masculine look, try using the True Gentleman Designer Series Paper (#145593), adding the grilling utensils to the apron pocket, and changing the sentiment to I heart BBQ. I hope you give this apron party favor a try! I look forward to seeing you at the next Catalog Launch Party in June!
Thanks for stopping by!
