~ Birthday Party ~ A day of pampering at the Spa

I'm so excited to finally able to share with you these pictures of my daughter's Spa themed birthday party. The girls had a fabulous day of pampering complete with face masks, manis, make up and  lots of goodies to bring home!  

Mini Facial station set up, ready with bowls of water, towels and hair ties. 

We used chocolate and strawberry face masks and cucumber slices for the eyes.

 

We used a cupcake stand to show the nail polish color selection.

At the beauty bar the girls got to choose lots of goodies to bring home: spa bath salts, bath loofahs, mini hand sanitizers and nail file sets were all decorated with personalized labels from the shop. 

 

Cake and cupcakes, Rice Krispie treats, Rock Candy, Bubble gum and Jelly beans at the sweet table. Cupcake toppers, table frame sign and candy jars printable decor now available at my etsy store

 The girls got their Make up done and had lots of fun dancing and playing the rest of the afternoon. 

Personalized Spa themed printable party designs are now available at my etsy shop.

~ Lovely customer Parties ~ Strawberry Shortcake Parties

I get so excited when my customers send me pictures of their parties.

It's so gratifying to know my designs were part of their meaningful celebrations.

Take a look at these lovely customer
STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE THEMED parties!

Christine sent me these pictures of her daughter's Strawberry Shortcake Birthday Party.  

I specially love how Christine used our strawberry shortcake printable designs to adorn the mason jars to serve the strawberry juice and they also served to differentiate each other's jar. Christie had a marker at hand so everyone could write their name in the back of the tags. That is a really clever idea!  

The Picnic basket filled with strawberry candy is another cute idea!

She kept the pink and light green palette through out the decor. Christine and her daughter are so pretty and they were even wearing colors to match the party theme.
Thanks Christine for submitting these pictures, you did a fabulous job!

Nicole also sent me these pictures of her daughter birthday Party.  She made the gorgeous cake and Cupcakes. She is soon starting her new Cake business. 

Thanks Nicole for sharing these pictures and wishing you success in your new venture!  

And lastly here is a gorgeous cake, cupcakes and cake pops display arranged by Cathy for her niece's birthday!   Cathy ordered the cake, her aunt made the cupcakes, she made the cake pops and I made the cupcake toppers.  Talk about a collaboration!  And I love the end result.  Congrats Cathy on the arrival of your new baby!

~ Birthday Party ~ Under the Sea Birthday Bash! Part 1

 As seen on Hostess With The Mostess!!

I'm back! I know... I said I was going to be away for 2 weeks and have been now more than a month.

I've been planning party after party this whole month... but at least I have lots of party pictures to show you!

Today I will start with my daughter's 3rd Under the Sea birthday Bash!  And this one comes with pictures overload! That is why I will show you some today and some tomorrow...

I loved how everything turned out!

 

THE DECOR...

My daughter loves Ariel so we went with the Under the Sea Theme to celebrate her 3rd birthday. 

  

My mom and I did all the decorations: We made blue tulle table skirts, we had a Hand painted mural we used as the main table background and made a blue balloons wall around the room and twisting balloons to simulate the seaweeds under the sea.

  

THE SWEET TABLE...

I made the cake and cupcakes. I was so happy with how the mermaid fondant cake topper turned out, as it was the first time I have tried to make something like that.  I made the cupcake toppers as well with glittery turquoise card stock and I used my new favorite Flourish punch.  The cupcake-Cake stand is from Wilton.

 These gorgeous Cake pops, were from Cathy Alfano from The Cake Bomb, who recently won the Canada Sweets and baking competition and one of the judges was Buddy from Cake boss.

  

Aren't these adorable?  Crab Cake Pops and Fish bowl Cake pops! Cathy did an excellent work.  Not only the were pretty but delicious too!

  

  

I made some sea shells cookies by filling them with butter cream icing and using a white gum ball as the pearls.

 sea creatures gummy skewers 

THE PARTY FAVORS...

The party favors were some canvas totes filled with filled with headbands, coral bracelets, lip balms and lots of other goodies. I found the white totes at Michaels and I stamped them with the same motive as the invitations and all the paper decor using iron transfer paper and sew the blue trim.  Iron on transfer designs are now available at my etsy shop.

~ Tutorial Thursday ~ How to Use Printable Party Designs

While I was getting everything ready for the 'Photo Shoot' of My Strawberry Shortcake Printable Party Collection,  I took some pics to show you how I used the printable files to make Cupcake toppers, Water Bottle Labels, Food Labels, Straw tags and Treat bags. 

 Here are some Essential Tools Required:

 Paper Cutter - I really like the Fiskar Brand

Punches - I've had the Uchida Punches for a while and they work really good and my new favorite one is the EK Success Flourish Punch

Small hole Punches - For favor tags and straw tags

Lollipop Sticks and Small Envelope Seals for cupcake toppers

Double Sided Tape

8.5 x 11 White Cardstock Paper

Stapler for treat favor bags and

Printable Party designs from my Shop.

Cupcake Toppers:

I printed my design on a 8.5"x11" White Cardstock Paper, and with the paper cutter cut out 3 separate strips. I used my 2" Scalloped and Flourish punches to cut out all the designs and attached to lollipop sticks with small envelope Seals. 

You can use these same cutouts for favor tags, napkin rings and straw tags.

Treat Bags and Favor Tags:

These are the new printables now on the shop, I'm making Treat Bag Favor Labels for all of my designs. The file is designed to print two Treat Bags Favor Labels and four 2" tags that can be used to attach to favors, cupcake toppers etc...

  I just printed my file on a 8.5"x11" Cardstock Paper.  I used the 2" scalloped punch for the favor tags, made a small hole punch and attached to the Mini-Gumball machine with a small elastic string.

I filled my bags with the candy, fold over my treat tags labels and stapled on each end.  I love how these ones in particular look with the strawberry candy. So cute!

Water Bottle Labels:

There are several ways to do this.  You can either get Water Bottle Labels, a full size Sticker Sheet or for an easy and economical but still cute party just print in regular 8.5"x11" white copy paper, like I did, and attach to bottles with double sided tape. 

I just serve the water  at room temperature; but If you want to serve your water cold and don't have waterproof labels, you can still make them waterproof yourself with Clear packing tape :) Yes, the width of the tape is the exact width of the label.  I've done it before and the bottles look good and the labels didn't get ruined when placed on ice, it's just more work - you will ruin a few labels for sure until you get the hang of it :) Just laminate both sides of the label with the clear packing tape, do it slowly to remove all the air bubbles. 

Sweet/Food Table Labels:

Food/Sweet labels look adorable on your sweet or food buffet. All of my printable files are designed to print on 8.5"x11" size paper and customized with your own food/sweet selection. I just printed on White Cardstock paper, used my paper cutter and fold in half to make them stand up alone. 

Lollipop and Straw Tags:

To decorate the lollipop I just took one of the 2" scalloped circles and layered it on top of a 3" scalloped cut out with double sided tape.  For the Straw tags, I punched two small holes on my 2" cut outs and insert the straws through.

All of the tools required can be purchased at Michaels Stores or Walmart - they carry a lot of the craft tools as well. You can also visit the Craft tools Page of my store where I link my favorite tools that can be purchased online at Amazon.com

I hope you enjoyed my little Tutorial!

~ Birthday Party ~ Julia's Princess Rocker Girl Birthday Party {stars, guitars and peace signs}

I am so excited to show you all the pictures of Julia's 7th 'Rocker Girl' Birthday Party.

I had so much fun planning all the details for this party and I love how everything turned out!

The party was held at Poprocks. This is a local party place where kids get to sing Karaoke style and record their own CD to take home. What a great new concept! From there we went all out with the 'Rock Star' theme  {I'm trying to think who is in the video on the background...one of the Jonas brothers maybe? } 

 

I made the cake and cupcakes to match the 'Rocker Princess' theme and I love how they turned out. I used my Towering Tiers Cake Stand from Wilton to display. I love this look!

 

I also designed matching cupcake toppers and water bottle labels.

These metal lunch boxes were the perfect party favors.  So cute! 

Rocker Princess Party Supplies can be purchased at Birthday Express. 

The 'Rocker Girl' printable collection is now available at my Etsy shop.
