I had some prizes to hand out at my Elvis party (based on the number of 'I'm all shook up' word window tabs found and earned) and of course I wanted to present them in an Elvis-y way. I put the contents (in this case, all the makings for fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches) in a paper bag which I'd stamped with the Elvis face and saying stamps in Staz-On ink. I colour-copied the post card recipe on heavy white card stock and added an eyelet in the corner so I could tie it to the bag.
I also made goody-bags for the guests containing official Elvis merch ordered directly from Graceland at ShopElvis.com. I put the souvenir
mint tin and '68 Special button, along with a thank you note and photos from the party, into a small cello bag (Stampin' Up) and then made a topper with patterned paper from the Rock Star stack, gold card stock, and my new TCB stamped image. The topper co-ordinated with the original party invite I'd sent. I think they turned out really cute and even though they arrived late (and the guests got them a week after the party) I was still excited to get a button and the stamp for myself! ;)
