Touchdown! Flag Football Team Treats {and a bonus coach card}!

Hi friends!  It's Wendy Sue here today, sharing a fun "touchdown" project!  Everyone who has ever had a child play in any sport at a young age knows that the BEST part of any game (win or lose) is the team treat afterwards.  And it's an honor for each child to have their turn bringing the treat.  I love it because it gives me a chance to do something creative and fun to share with others!  My son played flag football this fall and we loved watching him learn and grow - and he loved the treats! ;)  Here's what we whipped up when it was his turn to take the treat:

We started by filling baggies with a capri-sun, cheese, and some crackers.  

Before we zipped the bags shut, we tucked in one of these cute 3x3 cards, cut from patterned paper:

Next, we created little bag toppers using papers from the 6x6 pad, washi tape, and die-cuts.

We added the toppers to each bag by simply stapling them on!  I thought it would have been super cute to sew them on with my machine...but I figured this was easier (and Zach could help me) and the little football players probably wouldn't really care anyway. ;)

Here's a close-up look at one of the bags.  Front:

Of course, we sure appreciate the dads (and moms) who volunteer to coach these teams, so I always like to give them a little something special at the end of the season.  It's not a lot, but just something to say thanks.  Here's the card we created for our coach with the "touchdown" collection:

You know I love decorating the envelope so it coordinates too! ;)

And we added a gift card to a local burger spot for a yummy shake - attached with coordinating washi tape, of course!

Putting these little gifts together was quick and fun - thanks to the cute "touchdown" collection!!

Touchdown Collection : Sports Tickets Holders by Tya

 Hi there Doodlebug friends - its Tya here and I am up on the blog today showing you my project featuring the new Touchdown collection from Doodlebug Design! What a fun collection this is for your grid iron fans! Since this is the time of year we begin thinking about gift giving for the upcoming holidays, I thought that I would give you a few ideas on some fun ways to give sports tickets. If you have a sports fan in your life who you are planning on giving tickets to, why not make a fun holder to put them in. Envelopes are so boring - these are sure to please! 

I used my Silhouette Cameo to make these holders. I loved pairing the awesome papers and embellishments with a fun box and 2 other holders. The first holder is this cute football helmet. If you'd like to make on of your own I used this file: Football Helmet Treat Box. I cut the star out of one of the 4x4 papers and glued it to the front of the helmet. I added a touchdown word sticker and some black star jewels to complete the box.

The next holder is a simple money holder that I placed the tickets in. I used this file: Money Card Holder. I decorated the front panel with some cute pattern paper and added a foam finger sticker for  the closure. I added a football border sticker from the This and That sticker sheet along the bottom edge of the envelope. To finish it off I added a bow using the adorable Bon Bon chunky twine.

 The last holder is a fun slider box that I just fell in love with. I thought the pattern paper with the footballs and the football texture was the perfect fit for this fun box. I used this file : 3D Sliding Money Holder Box. I added a black cardstock belly band. I added a strip of  gridiron washi tape to the belly band.  I then added a sticker from the This and That Sticker Sheet. I also added one of the Football Sprinkles Shapes to the sticker front for some dimension. I topped the box off with a Beetle Black button and some black and white bakers twine.

That's all there is to it! And these don't have to be just for football. Feel free to substitute any of the other amazing sports lines that Doodlebug has to fit your sport tickets. Your sports loving fan will love the extra touch you added to make their present special just for them! Happy Crafting!
