You're One in a Minion!

Happy Wednesday! I hope everyone is having a fantastic day! I've been quite busy, and somewhat successful, in my crafty creations over the last few days. I have set a few goals for this summer, one being to create and list a new project or two every day. So far, I have posted a total of two new items. Another goal- to update our website. Success? Nope. Not yet. Good thing there's still plenty of summer! Anyway, as promised, here is a sneak peak of what I've been working on:

How cute?! I decided to create some minion-inspired items. I love seeing the new commercials with these guys and can't wait to see the movie! I know, not your typical almost-30 year old, but oh well! Anyway, over the last few days, I have been working on these projects, with a few more planned for the rest of the week. The first round includes some banners, a garland (which, unfortunately, didn't win the fight after being tangled), and some adorable confetti! We also have some invitations/cards and favors, of course! Now the next step is get them all posted on Etsy!
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

The Bell Still Rings

Happy Thursday! It is definitely one of those weeks that just crawls on by. It feels like it should be Friday. Almost there....

Today's projects are 'Polar Express'-themed party decorations we made. There are two of them. The first is a multi-use place-card holder.

These place cards are designed to look like bells. (They are actually cut from a cupcake box) The criss-crossing of the top worked out rather nicely, as they are positioned in just the right spot for the slits in the bell. They were added with black marker, but you can't see it in the picture. Since they are boxes, they open up and are perfect to give away as a little party favor. We added a real bell to the top, so when they were moved, they jingle! (And we're fully aware the 'd' is lower case. Capital 'd's are just ugly letters....)

Our second project today is another favor box:

These favors are a little bigger than the bells, measuring about 4x4x4" boxes. They were decorated to look like train cars. You can always add more riding cars to match the number of favors needed. The cars are lit up, just like in the movie. This would also serve as a cute centerpiece for a small gathering (too many and it might take up the whole table!)
Join us tomorrow for a sweet project that's perfect for young children to help with!

One Way to Outfit a Party

Happy Wednesday! We hope everyone is having a great week so far.We have another fun party project to share today.  This is another two-parter, and and these favors are sure to get a best-dressed award ;) (in my opinion, at least!)
First, we have our set of princess party favors:

I absolutely love how these came out! How stinkin' cute are they?! We designed dresses to look like the princesses' signature looks. You can't see it on all of them, but they all are embossed a little, and Tinkerbell has some added glitter! They all have a matching ribbon, used to tie them closed.

I wouldn't even know where to begin to pick a favorite...So, now for our superheroes! We took the same idea (somewhat) and made these favors.

 For these, we modeled the bags after the superheros' outfits. They're not quite as fancy as the princesses, but I already got scolded once for making the superheroes look "girly"...

 These are the bags up-close. We even included capes, for those crusaders who never took the advice of Edna in The Incredibles: No Capes! (oh, youtube...) I guess they were before the jet turbines were a problem...
Phew! I guess that's all for today. Thanks for stopping by!
