Don't get me wrong, I'm not the "Valentine Grinch", but I can't help but be a little tired of all the red and pink decorations out there...So this year, I decided to go out on a limb and try a different color palette for my Valentine's Party - Fuchsia, Teal and Yellow. What do you think? :) This party also has lots of home-made elements as I baked, styled and crafted...this theme would be perfect for a low-key wedding or bridal shower too!
Every morning I bring my husband tea in bed. Can't really remember when it started, but that's how we roll. He loves tea. And love him. So that's probably why... Anyways, this Valentine's I decided to serve a little extra sweetness along with the tea.
It's always nice to start the week on a sweet note, don't you think? And there's nothing sweeter than a cute packaging idea for your Valentine's party favors ! This one is from the creative Crissy, and it does exactly what it says on the packet. Love + sweetness guaranteed! ;)
Hi, it's Hani from Haniela's . Are you getting ready for the Valentine's Day? Here is a cute idea to add to your Valentine's Cookie repertoire - Heart Balloon Cookies ! Step-by-step with cookie baking and decorating tips and recipes below.
Candy Heart Shortbread Cookies Recipe
There's nothing more loving in my view than a box of homemade, edible delights. I mean, taking the time to say "I Love You" or "You Matter" with a box of sugary things, makes for a pretty special gift, don't think?! :) Our contributor Gillian from Crumbs of Comfort Cake Design thinks so too. Check out her recipe for the most pretty and scrumptious Valentine's Heart Cookies below.
I love thinking up new ideas on how to re-purpose printables. Take a sheet of printable scrapbook paper + some heart favor tags, for instance - the possibilities are truly endless! I hate waste also, and have used the off cuts of the paper to embellish some pretty cute Valentine's Cutlery Pockets ! Step-by-step below...
Nice to start the week spreading the luuurve, right?! :) Crissy from Crissy's Crafts has done it again - Simplicity + fabulosity + some cute printables, all bottled into one super cute Valentine's Day Gift or Party favor = LOVE POTION . ♥
OK, so we're all geared up for Valentine's here and will be bringing you some super fabulous posts in the next few weeks! This is one super easy and tasty DIY party favor or gift to make for classroom friends, teachers, neighbors or to embellish you party dessert tables!
I'm a sucker for easy recipes (pun intended) and there's nothing easier than these Valentine's Heart Lollipops - Wait for it...Made with left over candy canes from Christmas! How cool is that?! :) I saw the idea a while back on Pinterest , and just had to try it - We always get tons of candy cane left over from Christmas and this is also the perfect way to use them up! My kids got involved in the making of course, and fun was had all round - Bonus, for when you're stuck indoors due to cold weather! ;)
Today more than any other, is the day to spread the ♥ and sweetness! And I have for you some real party photos that may do just that - They come from our sweet customer Gillian, who in turn sent me some ♥ yesterday when she wrote me the sweetest email: "Hello again Bird! Your printables are so gorgeous. ...feel proud that you put a smile on so many peoples faces. Just looking at all your gorgeous designs and pics gives me a lift!"
I (Crissy) had a small surprise tea party for my girls to celebrate Valentine's Day . My oldest daughter's birthday is on Valentine's day so most of the time we overlook Valentine's Day. This year was different, we had a Valentine's party for their girlfriends but I wanted to do something just for us! Hope you enjoy, and can find some last minute inspiration for your own Valentine's Day Celebrations !
Chocolate Cake with Creamy Ganache Recipe
Ok, so I have a confession to make. I'm a chocoholic. And so are my offsprings... So what better way to say "I ♥ you" on Valentine's day than with a (big) slice of the good stuff??!
This ADORABLE Valentine's printable poster was sent to us by another designer, Jennifer from May Details and its just too cute not to share! Plus, we see a LOT of girly Valentine's Day Party printables out there, so this would make a real nice card for little dudes!
For sometime now I have been in love with vintage style, so when Bird contacted me asking if I would like to style a party using Bird's Party new Vintage Valentine's Day printables , I was in heaven! Bird designed the most adorable party printables that match exactly with what I had in mind!
DIY Vintage Napkin Holder for Valentine's Day
I (Crissy) have a thing for all vintage things lately! That is why I decided to make this super cute vintage napkin holder for my Valentine's Party . This idea can also be used for a wedding or a garden party, or a pretty handmade gift or party favor idea!
One of my resolutions this year is to create simple but totally cute parties that can be easily achieved by anyone with the simple use of some fab party printables! So the idea of a " Cookies and Milk" Valentine's Day Party seemed really appropriate to showcase Bird's Party latest Sweet printable party collection for Valentine's Day !
Hello and Happy New Year 2012! This is my first post of 2012 here at Bird's Party . I (Haniela) know we are only in the middle of January but my head is spinning with new exciting ideas for this year - I'm thinking Mother's Day, Summer, and even Fall. I can't wait to share some of my new recipes and baking tips with you as I hope stop by here more frequently. I promise! Valentine's Day is around the corner and I wanted share with Bird's Party readers a really yummy treat you can make for your friends, dear ones, children or for yourself. I'm a giver so I gave some to my friend's kids and to my Zumba instructor for her kids.
What better way to start the week than with some FREEBIES, right?! When fabulous Jillian from the AWESOME Catch My Party asked me to create some Valentine's Day Party Printables for their readers, I jumped at the chance!! I LOVE Jillian, her site and her work, so this is a huge honor for me!!
The game includes six bingo cards and a call-out sheet to match the designs of the "My Sweet" Valentine's party printables , so it would make a great Valentine's party game , party favor or a fun classroom activity - There are only images on the cards, and so it's suitable for younger players too! We suggest you laminate the pieces and cards to make them last longer, and use candy hearts , chocolate hearts or anything else you fancy as bingo markers ! :)
