Last Saturday, I held my second Stampin' Up! Bingo Party. It was so much fun! For this time, I went with a fall theme even though it was over 100 degrees this past weekend. This week, I'll be sharing the projects I prepped and the make n takes from the party.

Today's post is all about the decor and goody bags. I didn't go overboard, but I just had to make something cute to be put on the table. I found a tutorial online for this adorable little treat boxes. Once I stamped and die cut the jars, I added some cute punched scarecrows from last year's stamp set. Inside, there are bags of M&Ms tied with with some great retired Delightful Dijon ribbon.

For the goody bags, I bought some plain kraft gift bags in bulk. Seriously I got 50 bags for super cheap. Thanks Amazon! For there, I found some leftover die cut flowers from about three years ago. I used the patterns and colors as my palette. I punched some tags and stamped them all over with the retired Four Feathers stamp set. I finished off the tags with copper thread and the rest of the feathers. The tags were attached to the bags with some great retired Blackberry Bliss Ribbon.

Last Saturday, I hosted my first every Stampin' Up! Bingo Party! And it was awesome! I had seven ladies join me for a fun afternoon of games, crafting, snacks, and socializing. I created prize packs for eight rounds of bingo. Each round's prize was valued at between $10 and $20 dollars. For example, Round one's prize was a pack of 2016-2018 In Color Cardstock and the coordinating Markers. Another round included the Summer Sorbet Stamp Set and Rich Razzlberry Ombre Ink Pad. Almost all of the ladies won a round. And those that didn't got to pick from my extra prize stash (mostly retired items, but still great products). Along with Bingo, I created two different make n take cards. Everyone followed my basic design for the dragonfly card, but they went all different directions with the Scenic Sayings card. I love the variety of cards that were made. The event was so much fun, I think I'll schedule another Bingo party for August or so. Just in time for the Holiday Catalog!
