Last year, I got to design a super cute printable collection for a friend's baby shower. My brief was " stork theme with a French twist " . We all loved how it turned out, but I'm especially stoked about how fabulously our Gillian style this collection for Bird's Party Magazine !  And this week we're sharing ALL of the gorgeous baby shower photos, plus some of the delicious recipes from Gillian's dessert table, to help you get inspired for your own celebrations. P.S. - Stoke Baby Shower Printables are now in store in blue OR pink   ♥

Hey sweet friends! This week we have a super lush ' baking themed ' party week for ya! So prepare to be dazzle with the eye candy ;) My kids love to bake with me, and when I was designing Bird's Party latest Baking Party Printables , I realized there aren't many ' boy-friendly' baking parties out there, and there should be! There are lots of girly, frilly decorations, so I wanted to design and style something cute, but that would appeal to boys or girls and twins of any age. Come to think of it, these baking party ideas would also be cool for play dates, classroom activities, or a twins birthday ?! 

TGIF, right?! Well, today I'm on full-on prep for my first book signing event happening tomorrow (will be posting sneaks on Instagram here ), so the post is shorter than usual...which is not a bad thing ;) Graduation season is upon us, and I just stopped by to let you know that our super popular Graduation FREE printables have been updated with editable templates - that means that you can now add your graduation year 2014, 2015...and personalize your printables year after year! Cool or what?!

You needn't style something grandiose to please mom on her special day. Honestly, less is more. A simple but feminine table setting (for breakfast, brunch, picnic or lunch), combined with delicious treats that require no-baking or are very easy to make , look just as impressive, are quick to put together and perfect for dads and kids to re-create at home !

This week is all about Mom. If you follow me on Instagram you'd have seen a sneak peek of these pretties, and I'm happy to share the full post today!! Each month we have a new FREE printable  (for limited tile only!) sent out by email to all our fab subscribers, and this month I designed some cute tags that can be used as gift labels, favor tags, bottle decor, cupcake toppers ...you name it! Perfect for Mother's Day  of course but also any occasion really. I also included a little note card in the printables, so you can write mom a love note! We love those! ;) So make sure you subscribe her to get your Mother's day FREEBIES directly in your inbox!!

When it comes to entertaining,  Dare Crackers  are among Chef Kayne Raymond’s go-to secrets for hosting a fantastic spread anytime, anywhere. And with Mother's Day around the corner, summer parties and wedding season approaching, we thought we'd help you along for those all-important appetizers, nibbles and canapes for your parties and get-together.

I have a Silhouette CAMEO myself, and it remains in its original box mainly due to lack of time and nerve to learn how to get it working. But that's about to change! The Craft Academy 's program combines projects, lessons, online live events, and a community forum built specifically to help you master every feature of your Silhouette Studio Software .  And we have a 50% discount coupon for all Bird's Party readers too - It would be a perfect Mother's Day gift for your crafty mama...or your lovely creative self! ;)

Bonjour mes amis! We've gone from Spanish yesterday to French today, and all because of the French leg of the Les Party Printables book tour. Yikes, did I just write that?!! Pinch me hard :) Seems surreal to type those words. I'm very grateful, super excited but also a little nervous. I mean, blogging behind a computer screen is one thing, meeting the actual readers in the flesh is another entirely new ballgame...

Hola mis amigos, today's post is all about Cinco de Mayo Fiesta , so I couldn't help but break out in Spanish...anyways, are you planning anything? Do you usually celebrate Cinco de Mayo? I'd love to hear what you guys get up to!  For now I leave you with some colorful party ideas to help you style your Fiesta!! Olé!

Told ya we were gonna spoil you this month! ;) Yes folks, we have another super fabulous book giveaway happening on the blog - In my view a party gal's library is never complete without a fondant topper book ! And today's beauty come from one of dearest friends,  Lynlee . So needless to say I'm mega proud and excited to share!! ♥

As a designer, I relish the chance to create unique printables, to push myself and challenge my abilities. Bird's Party Magazine offers me a chance to do just that. Not only we always have to come up with new and exciting ideas for each issue, but I also get to work with some incredible, talented stylists who's vision and unique events always push me to give it my all and venture out of my comfort zone .

What do you have planned for Mother's Day ? As a mom myself, I can tell you that a lovingly prepared brunch trumps over expensive gifts any day!  So I've collected some really easy to make, totally delicious (and super pretty too) brunch recipes that I know any mom will ♥ 

Jenny Keller is a girl after my own heart. Not only she's a mega talented desserts table stylists, but she also is a baker, cookie, cake decorator extraordinaire. And you know how much I respect and love any girl who's not afraid to DIY it all . And to such a fabulous standard too! Jenny is a self taught baker and has styled parties and desserts for some of Hollywood's finest, and now she shares her secrets, tips, tricks and yummy recipes in her gorgeous NEW Book Eat More Dessert . 

I'm not much of a drinker but I love a nice tipple, especially on a Girls Night In ! But I also know that getting the girls 'round means you have to account for varied tastes and an array of dietary requirements - some don't drink, others are on a special diet, or counting the calories, or expecting... So mocktails are the answer for me! But a mixologist I am not, and need all the help I can get to deliver the wow factor without comprising on taste and creativity. So I've searched and scoured the web, and put together a delicious collection of non-alcoholic drinks recipes that not only look super funky and scrumptious, but are also easy to make and pack a whole lot of punch (no pun).

This giveaway is now closed! The Honest Company has certainly become one of the best brands in the baby business, but they are more than just a company selling diapers and wipes - they are helping families live better lives ! Jessica Alba and her team have built a company that wants to do more than just offer clean and safe baby products. They want to make it easy for parents to choose better products and, by doing so, literally change the world. This is why we are so excited to have partnered with them for our #SocialCircus and love sharing their philosophy and products with you!  This week we are giving away a $500 gift certificate to The Honest Company to one lucky winner!

As part of our #SocialCircus month, I decided to make a fun  DIY Carousel Centerpiece - But one made with party supplies and candy (is there a better kind?!) that anyone may have in the house at the time of the birthday party. So I raided my party shop and grabbed  paper plates ,  candy tubes and dinky striped paper straws . Not forgetting the adorable  Circus printables , and my trusty glue gun of course! ;) This cute carousel centerpiece would be fun as a birthday desserts table candy dish , kids table decoration or even a fun party activity (minus the hot glue!). It's easy to make, quick and inexpensive too!

I styled this Easter Kids Brunch last year for Yum and Food for Kids Magazine. Their Easter issue is out and full of amazing ideas!! And with Easter round the corner, I thought I'd share all the details here on the blog with tips and trick on how you can re-create it at home. It's a very simple and super colorful table that will wow your little bunnies! But these unique ideas can also be used for the family table too, simply replace the disposable tableware with fancier china.
