Mahalo! FREE chocolate bar wrappers for Teacher Appreciation Day April 30, 2012

Teacher Appreciation Day in the U.S. is celebrated on the first Tuesday of the first full week in May. In 1985, The National PTA established Teacher Appreciation Week as the first full week of May. So, Teacher Appreciation Week is May 7th-11th and Teacher Appreciation Day is Tuesday, May 8th. Last year I created a chocolate bar wrapper for my daughter’s preschool teachers. It was bright, fun and gender neutral but aimed at the preschool crowd. This year, my good friend Dory asked me about making a Hawaiian themed chocolate bar wrapper. What a great idea and I am happy to share this year’s wrapper with you guys, too!

Show your kids teachers that they are appreciated. They work hard and have a huge impact on our children’s lives. My mum is a retired teacher as are my in-laws so I know first hand how hard teachers work. So, to all the teachers out there, I want to say: Maholo for all that you do!

To download the free chocolate bar wrapper and the coordinating hang tags, simply go to Script.com! For printing, I recommend using bright white card stock (110 lb is great) and a laser jet printer. If you don’t have a decent printer at home, head over to any print/copy center (such as Office Depot or Staples) and print there. They’ll print these for you on cardstock for about 70 cents. I used Hershey Cookies and Cream chocolate bar but you can use the regular 1.55 ounce sized Hershey bars if you’d prefer. For full details on putting chocolate bar wrappers together, please see my tutorial. I included two hang tag designs so you can choose which one you’d like to use. Once your child writes his or her name on the hang tag, simply attach to your chocolate bar using some ribbon or tulle.

If you are looking for my preschool wrapper from last year, you can download it here:

I think personalized chocolate bar wrappers are the perfect party favor, especially for a child’s birthday or a baby shower. Check out the wrappers available in my Etsy store and if you don’t see what you are looking for, then contact me as I love custom work!

Let me know if you give these to your kids teachers… and don’t forget to LIKE my facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/apartystudio

And thank you Dory for the inspiration!

Blue and Yellow Baby Shower January 24, 2012

Today, I have photos to share with you from Danielle’s baby shower, held on Saturday. She is expecting her son, James, on February 29th. How exciting… a leap year baby! For her invites and cake, the shower host, Cheryl,  used Wilton’s Baby Feet collection. Look how adorable the cake came out!

To compliment the cake, she choose light blue and buttercream yellow decorations. Check out the water bottle wrapper and the personalized chocolate bars! The water bottle wrappers have either the name of the baby or the due date. Both these items are now available in my Etsy store. And if you are hosting a baby shower and love the stripes and polka dots, but need different colors, then please contact me because I am happy to customize the color on any of my party printables.

Food wise, Cheryl had a lovely classic brunch spread: chicken salad with fresh croissants, fruit with vanilla dip, gluten free bread with spinach dip, cheese and crackers, vegetables and dip, mini quiches, etc.

Congratulations Danielle and we look forward to meeting baby James very soon!

Graduation party- printable collection May 10, 2011

I was contacted by Jessica to create cupcake toppers and other party supplies for her sister’s high school graduation. Jenni’s church is having a graduation party for all the seniors. Each senior gets their own table and has to bring snacks and decorate it however they would like. How lovely is that idea? Here are the cupcake toppers that I’ll be offering in the store. I have purposely used Times New Roman font! The old stand-by font we all grew up with.

The request for personalized cupcake toppers got me thinking about other party supplies that would make a big impact when decorating a table.

I love water bottle wrappers. They make a big impact with not much effort!

And if you’ve been following my blog for a while, you know that I am obsessed with personalized chocolate bar wrappers that double up as keepsakes. I make them every year for my kid’s birthdays and keep the wrapper. I also send the personalized chocolate bars to family that couldn’t be at the party. So, of course, I had to make Jenni some chocolate bar wrappers that she could use as table favors. Don’t these look great?

The wrappers are personalized with the school name, the school’s team (in Jenni’s case- the Panthers), and the name of the graduate. Of course, the wrappers feature the school colors!

Know someone who is graduating? Need some unique and fun party decorations? I can customize the cupcake toppers, the water bottle wrappers and the chocolate bars to meet your school colors! Jennis’ school colors are dark green and black; however, she wanted a splash of purple so that the party supplies reflect her personal tastes! Here is a color chart of standard school colors however, I can of course use other shades.

Teacher Appreciation Week and FREE Printable May 3, 2011

It is Teacher Appreciation Week here in Rhode Island. My 3 year old has three incredible teachers at her preschool! She adores each of them so we wanted to take a little something sweet to say thank you for all their hard work and thoughtfulness throughout the year.

We decided that handmade twirlable pinwheels with a handwritten thank you label would be perfect!

These pinwheels really do spin!

We also made chocolate wrappers to say thanks. I printed them out and wrapped them around a Hershey chocolate bar.
