I promised these images weeks ago, and I’m finally posting today. We’ve been practicing the phrases “Happy Halloween” and “trick-or-treat” the last few days and it’s paying off. Today I heard the boys in their room yelling “Happy Halloween!” out the window to the garbage man. Cutest thing ever! I’m going to go get my
Here is a simple farewell party I threw for a friend before she moved away. It was one last get together with all our girlfriends. I used neon circle labels found in the office supply section to add a little touch of neon to everything. It was so easy and fast. Each guest left with
With all the summer barbecues going on, I wanted to create a party kit that was simple, fast and could be done by anyone. A great party can still be made on limited time and expense. I was inspired by Heather Bailey’s Nicey Jane – Porch Swing collection and went from there. The pinwheels were made by
My adorable friend Ali is due with her first baby this month and I’m so excited for her. She sent me some pictures from a baby shower her mother-in-law threw her using the Woodland Party Theme. Notice the cake topper is the fox from the invitation. Clever. She also used the garland for decor along
I made this banner to celebrate my niece’s kindergarten graduation. It’s a great banner that can be used for many occasions, and goes well with a variety or party decorations. It would be fun for a summer party or to celebrate small achievements such as an A on a spelling test. Make little party favors using
Here are some last minute party ideas for the 4th of July. First are these Patriotic Food Toppers. There are no paper pieces to layer or toothpicks to glue, just cut and insert them into any yummy treat! The second is this simple flag banner using the Party Banner die cut. Another quick project that doesn’t
Silhouette has a great promotion going on right now for their Silhouette Studio Designer Edition. This is what sold me on my first Silhouette. I wanted a digital cutting machine that could cut out my own custom designs without having to buy cartridges or only use the designs available from the company. The Designer Edition
Here is the tutorial for the 3D Star Garland as promised. I strung these on twine, but I think they could look cute over a string of lights if you used thinner paper. It might be something worth trying. Supplies Needed: 3D Star Silhouette Cut File Adhesive Red, White and Blue paper Twine Silhouette Cameo or Portrait How
Today’s tutorial is for patriotic bunting. This is a classic decoration for Independence Day usually made from fabric, and I’m going to show you how to make it out of paper. Independence Day is just around the corner. I still can’t believe July is almost here. This summer is flying by. I have a few
Last week I shared a tutorial for making piñatas using my 3D pentagon die cut. I mentioned a larger one could be made using individual pentagons like the one here. Today I am going to show you how to create a piñata of any size using simple geometric shapes.
Silhouette has a promotion on their fabric interfacing that starts today. (Yep, I have a promotion code for you at the end of this post.) It was the inspiration for making this classic fish pond game. I had my doubts about how well the machine really could cut fabric and the quality of the interfacing.
Here is a simple little party you can throw together last minute. This party was for my husband’s graduation, but really you could use it for any occasion. I used these Let’s Celebrate letterpress invitations and created small circle tags to go with them. Using your Silhouette, simply draw a circle in the color of
I made a few more 3D geometric shapes to go along with the Geometric Baby Shower. They are available in the Silhouette store this week. I used glue and covered them in glitter to give them sparkle. It was a quick and easy project with dazzling results. These would look great strung together and hung
With the current chipboard promotion going on at Silhouette, I decided to use it to create a geometric baby shower. The colors of this shower can easily be switched out for a girl baby shower. You can also change the phrase on the banner to work with any party.
I have a fun tutorial for you today using Silhouette Chipboard that is part of their current promotion. Nothing says party quite like a piñata. Whether it’s a big piñata for all the guests to break together, or small piñatas for party favors. Your guests will love to discover the surprises hiding in these little
