when it comes to munchkins, hooty cute owls are a favorite. for this munchkin's third birthday, that was the order. reds, pinks, turquoise, lime green, and owl quotes.
all good parties start with a super cute invite. heehee
then we added a happy birthday banner
a party hat (is birthday girl adorable, or what?!) and, favor tags - with the sweetest quote "i'll owl-ways be your friend"! too cute!
and, seriously? are you kidding me with this cake? done to match the invites perfectly. let me say it again - too cute!
have a kiddo celebrating a birthday soon? let's have a little chat.
take a peek at some past designs in case you need some inspiration.
from baby showers and announcements to bride and groom celebrations. had quite a few orders for bridal shower invites. here are just a few that have gone out recently.
fiestas are always a big theme for any party. whip up some fajitas, serve chips, salsa, and some margaritas, and you're golden. i thought it was super cute that they requested guests bring their favorite spice.
another take on a similar design. this time for a couples shower, and with the addition of the printed envelope. linen paper gives both invitations that little added excitement.
stripes and fun fonts are sometimes all you need to make an invitation. and, this font is one of my faves. you'll see that in the next two invites! this was a tapas party, but they didn't want to get to theme-y.
a silhouette of a bride's dress, in the bride's colors makes this design stand out - and, the scripty font just classes it up!
same style invite, but a ribbon around the bride's waist adds another dimension. printing it on super thick paper and rounding the corners take these over the top. invites don't have to be flat cards. ribbons, rhinestones, layers, rounded corners - all give your invite that extra special something.
getting married? hosting a shower? let's have a little chat!
other designs might give you more ideas.
when baby sister was here, i created a little tutorial for y'all to whip up some magnetic clothespins. they're super easy to make, but if you'd rather i do them for you, we can arrange that, too!
to get started, gather all your materials:
-clothespins
-assorted paper
-mod podge or glue
-self-adhesive magnet roll
-scissors
-pencil
-foam brush
choose your paper - there are tons of 12x12 papers out there with fun designs on one sheet, which lets you have different style clothespins that still match. then, trace around your clothespins and cut out your strips.
glue your paper to your clothespin with your mod podge. swipe a little more over the paper to secure. let dry, then do a few more layers of Mod Podge to really secure your paper.
when they're dry, roll out some of your magnet, measure against your clothespin, and cut strips. if your magnet's too wide, cut it in half to fit on the clothespins. peel off the backing and stick to the clothespins. let sit for a bit 'til the adhesive sets.
rock your clothespins on your own fridge, or wrap them up as a fun, quick, homemade gift. they're the perfect hostess gift!
or, leave the magnets off and use them for the hippest chip bags
or clothesline around.
ok, maybe they're not men yet, but they will be someday, and i wanted to use a catchy title! as usual, i digress. here's a collection of the latest baby announcements. you may see a theme here - apparently chevron is kinda popular. (or i just really enjoy it as a design element!)
grey and yellow are also trendy right now, so we fulfilled mama's wish for that. and, truly the sky's the limit with how many images you can use on your announcement.
i can't even get over how adorable these pictures are! they truly make the announcement, and i knew they needed to be showcased. printed on reeeeaalllyy thick, yummy paper, mama obliged my need to round the corners. she wasn't in the mood to address all the envelopes, so those got some flair, too.
no chevron here, but definitely boyish stripes and colors. a fun statement on the front gives the card personality. and, a scripture always adds something to the finished product.
so, in my design history, i think i've designed maybe 4 or 5 girl announcements. it's all boys out there, i tell ya! who's gonna date all these boys?!
maybe... this little lady? chevron? check. polka dots? check. little birdies? check. and an adorable saying to introduce miss thing. i'm guessing this might get 'stolen' in the future!
preggers? have a newborn? ready to announce that little bundle to the world? let's have a chat!
