Fashionista Party Banner with Sizzix - Video Tutorial

Here is a fab idea for creating a festive banner for a Fashionista themed party. All week I've been sharing video tutorials on how to take a fun theme and create handmade paper party decor using the Sizzix eClips2 Electronic Cutting Machine and eCal Software. I've been having a blast sharing all the fun and can't wait to show you how everything came together. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the tutorial!

You can watch more of my video tutorials here!

I was provided with Sizzix Products to review for this post however, all opinions are fully my own.

     

{Pin-tastic....} Monster High SPA Party Ideas and Invitation First Look

I didn't get to share my Pin-tastic Tuesday post yesterday because I really wanted to share my Farm Stand Inspired Easter party & Free Printables with you.  So, I'm doing it today!  Yay!

I am in the process of planning The Mini Diva's birthday party this year.  If you've been reading this blog for a while, you know that I am no fan of the cookie cutter licensed party decor.  It has it's place.....just not for me.  So, I saw this as a challenge to give my daughter the theme she wants without it being so character focused.  My plan is to have a 'freakishly fabulous' spa party.....with pops of Monster High elements tossed in the mix. There is no better place to go these days than Pinterest for a little inspiration.  Check out the board I'm currently adding ideas to.....it's very spa-inspired ;):

Here's a sneaky-poo first look at the invitation!

I can't wait to share all the different projects I'm working on for my baby girl's bash....so stay tuned!!!

{Cupcake Monday} Pretty Pink Princess Party Cupcake Toppers

Happy Monday all!

This past weekend, I enjoyed creating a truly fun pool themed Princess Party for a sweet little girl named, Avery.  Here is some deliciously sweet eye candy that we provided the guests with.

I used the Royal Princess printables from my shop and personalized them with her name and age.  I'll be sharing the rest of the party fun with you in a few days.  In the meantime, check out the complete Royal Princess  printables here.

{Happy Customers} Pink, Yellow & Grey Whale Themed 1st Birthday

Last week I shared a cute Etsy customer photo with you of her daughter sporting a Birthday Girl party hat from my Whale of a Time Party Kit. The customer, Esther (an absolute gem of a client) wanted the colors changed and it went from me changing the invite to re-working the whole set. I loved the colors and am soooo happy with how everything turned out. She was kind enough to share more photos from the party!

A pennant banner for Miss Jalya!

A fun timeline photo banner of Jayla's first twelve months.  I used my Cricut to create the Whales and letters - this was such a fun project to work on.

A beautiful Wishing Tree was displayed for guests to write their wishes for Jayla!

Jayla's cake - with a fondant topper created to look like the whale in the party set - CUTE!

I love using scalloped cupcake toppers for little girl parties - just darling!

I love using colorful tags for party favors.  Esther sent guests home with #1 shaped sugar cookies - loved these.

Esther also wanted a high chair bunting.  I used smaller flags from the patterned paper I created for the set and added paper rosettes to them and topped the rosettes with party dots!

More gorgeous party details.....

Super adorable and fabulously girly - Miss Jayla - Happy Birthday!

I loved changing up this set for Esther & Jayla and wish them many more fabulous celebrations and wishes!
