Now Available: Medieval Knight Birthday Party August 17, 2011

I am so excited about this latest collection! After the cute and ultra girly Pink and White Damask collection, it was fun to switch gears and do something very manly! What could be more boyish than a medieval themed birthday party! Thank you Brigitte for contacting me about creating these them for your son’s upcoming party!

By Royal Decree, a Knights Tournament there shall be! Prepare to test your strength and power with the greatest knights of the kingdom! This birthday theme is sure to be a huge hit with boys of all ages! Wouldn’t you agree? As with all tournaments, there are two teams… in this case, the red team (the mighty griffin) and the blue team (the regal lion). All the party printables reflect these two team colors and logos. There can only be one birthday invite though so you get to choose which you’d prefer. Here they are:

 

If you’ve been following my blog for any length of time, you know that I LOVE welcome door signs and absolutely ADORE cupcake toppers!

Every tournament has to have some friendly competitions! Here are some signs you can post at each game station!

 

 

Buffet food labels and water bottle wrappers add a manly touch to this party’s theme!  And of course, no birthday party would be complete without a banner and thank you tags for the favor bags!

 

 

This medieval knight party printable collection is now available at my Etsy store. If you want all the party pieces shown here, the cost is only $45! Such a bargain! Don’t forget to LIKE us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter! If there’s a themed party you’d like to see me create, please contact me! I LOVE custom work.

Sailboat Party Collection and Free Printables! April 13, 2011

As you probably know, I have been working on launching digital party invites and party supplies. I have a few collections available now at my Etsy store and I will be adding more over the next few weeks! I love digital party invites because you can print as many as you need or you can simply attach the file to an e-mail and send it out that way.

The digital party decorations are fantastic too because they are totally customized and personalized. Love the race car collection but need it for a girl? Not a problem since it is digital and I created the artwork, I can change the colors! Perfect!

For my son, Asher’s first birthday, I wanted a theme that embraced the beauty of New England and the gorgeous view we get to enjoy everyday from our home in Jamestown, Rhode Island. I wanted his invite and birthday colors to be soft and muted, like the landscape we have been seeing this winter. There’ll be plenty of other birthdays with bright, vibrant colors. For now, I get to choose his theme and the palate of his party! Here is the color board:

Classic Girl Collection! April 1, 2011

New in my Etsy shop is the Classic Girl Collection! These are fantastic because you can have them personalized with your child’s name, age and photograph!  When you send me your child’s photograph, I will do basic photo editing such as cropping and turning the picture into black and white, at no additional cost! I love the bright colors in this collection and the stripe/polka dot combination is SO MUCH FUN for any age!

Check out this darling invite:

The invite measures 5″x7″ and you can either print at home on heavy, bright white card stock or upload it to an internet digital photo service to get printed. If you have it printed on photo paper, then make sure you choose the matte finish. This will look less photography and will not show fingerprint!

And of course, you know how much I love “welcome to the party” door signs. I they are a great way to get the party theme started as soon as your guest reach the front door! I can do additional personalizing to these signs (such as “take your shoes off and step inside” or “the party is in the back garden”). Here’s the one that comes with the Classic Girl collection:

Your little girl will love seeing her photograph on the party decorations! The rest of the collection comprises of a Happy Birthday banner, cupcake toppers and thank you tags/circles!

Remember the notecards with belly bands that I made for the Classic Boy collection? Well, I am of course offering the girl version! These are great to print and use as stationary for your little girl! Also, after the party, you can use them as thank you note cards. Since you print them yourself, you can make as few or as many as you need! The notecards are sized to 4″x 6″ so that you will get two per sheet of paper.

Tutorial: Note cards with belly band March 28, 2011

I am so happy to now offer printable note cards in my Etsy store. I’ve been wanting to branch out to the print-your-own party supplies for a while now and have had a lot of fun creating some incredible collections. The pattern in the photos of this tutorial is from the Classic Boy collection. There are invites, birthday banner, cupcake toppers and thank you tags available in this collection.

I can custom make these note cards in any color and font! They are make fabulous gifts and also make excellent thank you cards after a birthday party. Here’s how to put these together. Of course the first thing you’ll have to do is print the file that I e-mail you after your purchase 😉 It is best to use heavy bright white paper (ideally 110 lb). This is available from Staples or most craft stores.

1. Use a paper cutter to trim the paper. Each sheet of paper will give you two note cards that measure 4 inches x 6 inches. It is easiest to cut the belly bands first. Then, trim each side.

2. Your printer may not be able to print all the way to the edge. So, if you have a white margin on either side of the belly bands, trim these off with scissors.

3. Use a corner-rounder punch in the corners. If you don’t have one, you can use scissors for this part. I highly recommend getting a punch though, especially if you are doing a lot of the note cards!

4. Fold the belly band about ¼ of the way up.

5. Now, put the crease over the note card. Turn the card over and do the second fold/crease on the belly band.
