If you're not the crafty type, fear not. This quick and easy 3-D printable Father's Day Card was designed with kids in mind - So all you need are some basic tools (and let your inner child loose...) to be able to create a bespoke card for dad! ;) And the bonus is that these FREE printable cards were designed to match the cheerful Father's Day theme we have going all this week!
We're all about DAD this week here on the blog! And kicking things off, are these super cute printable Shirt and Tie Cupcake Toppers that you can download totally FREE !
Before we get with the tutorial, let me come clean with you. Cookie decorating is not my forte. In fact, I'm slightly scared of them. There, I've said it! Yes, sugar cookies decorated with royal icing scare the heck out of me! No, and I don't have some weird phobia about cookies...it's just that I am not patient at all, and think there are sooooo many steps to decorating cookies that I get bored and don't even bother. I prefer to oooh and aaaah other people's creations, and so for my parties I often seek the help of the amazing professionals out there.
Today I'm joining Kim from The Celebration Shoppe to feature one of our fave parties/party ideas from last month's joint linky - So when you're done here, hope over to Kim's blog to check out her featured fave! ;) There were so many gorgeous party ideas linked up, and picking just one was reeeeeally hard!! But since we're all about strawberries this week here on the blog, I decided to feature a strawberry-flavored party idea by Mariah from Giggles Galore - Strawberry Shortcake in a Jar!
I made these cuties for a mini strawberry themed desserts table I styled recently. And since it's strawberry season (even if the sun refuses to come out...), I'll be sharing my strawberry themed party recipes with you all this week in the hope to kick start the summer good and proper!! Anyways, it all turned out pretty yummy and cute too, don't you think? So it's good to know that if I can, you most certainly can too! ;)
Hi everyone, today we're hosting another link party and have teamed up with the fabulous Celebrations at Home and The Celebration Shoppe - So that means when you link up an idea on this blog, it shows up on theirs too! :)
To quote a dear friend, " Patriotism comes in many forms and colors..." And in this spirit, I joined The Purple Pug to create these colorful and funky FREE 4th of July printables , mixed in with the more traditional Red, White and Blue! She made the fireworks banner (complete with glitter bling!), and I re-worked the colors of the 4th of July Printable Bottles Wrappers to match her awesome palette! It's fresh, unexpected, " dazzling party drama " and totally FREE for your to download and enjoy - on July 4th or any day of the year for that matter! ;)
As promised last week, I'm sharing today the tutorial on how I made my Rustic Log Cake Stand . These babies brand new, can set you back at least $30, so making your own is a steal, and totally more fun too! ;) They are ideal for a rustic wedding or birthday party or Fall celebration - how about a woodland birthday party (think Red Riding Hood , Bambi , Vintage Snow White , Camping Party ...) but also perfect for those rustic, shabby chic bridal or baby showers or weddings too!
A while back I was honored to be able to design for the 1st birthday one of our most sweet customers, Nicholas! Nicholas' mom had a clear vision of what she wanted for the designs, and we set off to try create an "Up Movie" inspired collection that did not use any copyrighted images! It was no mean feat, but I was really happy with the results. And by the looks of things, so was Nicholas! :) Check out below all the STUNNING party photos - I especially love the travel-themed favors and decor, and that awesome cake and those incredible cake pops!! ♥
Following on from yesterday's post , this is the second of the recipes I create for Yum Food and Fun for Kids Magazine - Banana Pops ! There are a couple of ideas on how to make 2 types of banana pops - You know, the healthier alternative to ice cream pops?! So easy and really fun to make with kids (or just because..) - Recipes below.
