Bugs and Kisses Birthday Party theme!

Today, I went to a fun birthday party of a 7 year old boy who loves bugs. He's a very sweet kid and I wanted to help make his birthday special. So, I made him bug themed party decor. 

I made little favor bags using the Bag punch board filled them with plastic bugs ( yes, I'm not even coming close to touching a real one. I had my husband make sure there weren't even fake lizards in there). I also added hershey kisses in the bag mixed in.


I made him a bug themed birthday banner and  a cake topper as well. This,by the way, is my favorite pic I've ever taken using my phone. I just love the blue of the door popping out. 


Once the bag was punched out using bag punch, I used the Bugs and Beetles retired stampset, which I borrowed from my sweet upline, Holly Stene. (Holly, thanks a lot for letting me borrow this stampset). Then I used the different color combos to make the bugs pop right out of the bag. 





There were some fun gummy worms and frogs and candied bugs for the kids to munch on. 

and....the banner had bugs cut out and made to look like they were all crawling around on the banner. 


For someone who's not a big fan of bugs, I thought this party was adorable, as long as the bugs were fake!! 

The Beetles and Bugs stampset is retired, however, you could use the gift bag punch board to make your own birthday treat favors. Head on over to my stampin shop to order your gift bag punch board

Day 2: Color Block Technique

Welcome to Day 2 of Techniques Week! We made it through Day 1, I might have ink stains all over my hands, but they are stains of victory....and my husband was suspicious of why I wanted his shaving cream! Oh well, my mysteriousness is part of why he loves me! For Day 2, we're making this beautiful color block background on the card. You see how it just makes this whole card come alive? Step 1: Gather your goodies. You need a clear block ( I definitely recommend the stampin up blocks, they are the only ones this technique really works for). Get a piece of whisper white cardstock and the markers! Step 2: Color your block starting on one end with real red marker.  Step 3: Color with Tangelo Twist, right above the real red. Step 4: Color with yellow marker of choice, over the orange!  Step 5: Color with a blue marker of choice, over the yellow!  Step 6: Get everything away that you don't want getting wet!! and...Spritz the b...

Organized Card Giver Post #2: Prepare to Succeed!

Hey everyone,  If you’re reading this post, it means you’re somewhat serious about the New Year’s resolution to send cards to people you care about. Do me a favor and give yourself a quick pat on the back from me. Starting is half the battle.  Actually, it’s more important to start, than to succeed. People that start something are usually the ones that end up finishing strong. I tend to procrastinate, just like everyone else. But, just like with anything, if I tell myself, just start….just run for 5 mins, just workout for 5 mins, just clean for a minute, I build momentum to keep going forward. Then when the time is up, its not so bad. You can keep going more… That’s exactly what we’re going to do this week. We’re going to start strong. That’s all you need to do for this week. I know the New Year’s doesn’t start until a month from now, but we want to actually hit the ground running as soon as the new year hits. So, preparation is the key here. For this week#1, and...
