Elena’s Shaker Balloon Birthday Party

It’s time for another brilliant party idea with Elena! This time she created a birthday party with balloons and clever shakers!

This festive birthday party combines balloons, shaker elements and bright cheery colors!

Elena started with a Stitched Party Banner cut from Twinkling Cream paper from the Let It Shine Starry Skies collection. Then she cut a Reverse Stitched Scalloped Square Window from the banner, covering the opening with acetate. She used foam tape and another piece of paper to create the pocket for the shaker bits. And then she added a layered Giant Happy Birthday greeting over the acetate window.

To make the balloons for the banner, Elena used Stitched Balloon Frames and Outside In Stitched Balloon Stackables with more acetate and foam tape.

The cupcake toppers are so creative! I love how she used Tiny Gift Box to look like the balloons are popping up out of the box!


For these smaller balloons, Elena used Party Balloons Lawn Cuts dies and Textured Canvas cardstock. To make the wavy white balloon, she cut one balloon with Ocean Wave Borders, then she glued the pieces to a solid balloon.

A little piece of acetate holds the Tiny Gift Box lid open and stabilizes the balloons!

The party favors feature more balloons on a Goodie Bag!


For the drink bottles, Elena added a Twinkling Cream band to the bottle before decorating with more shakers and star balloons.

This birthday party decor is so brilliant, Elena! I love how you included the shaker elements! Thank you so much for sharing your creativity with us!

We Wish You a Very Fawny Holiday Week {Day 3}

Hello everyone! Welcome to another special Fawny Holiday Week! We will be sharing inspiring holiday projects by our amazing Fawny family of designers along with videos and daily giveaways! Comment below for a chance to win a stamp set with coordinating dies plus a 6×6 paper of your choice!

It’s Day 3 and our cheerful friend Samantha has Beachy Christmas inspiration for you! Her adorable slimline card features frolicking reindeer at the beach! You can watch the video tutorial below or click HERE to watch at our YouTube channel.

Thank you so much for watching!

Samantha created an awesome beach scene complete with Stitched Wave Borders and a stenciled snowflake background! Then she filled the beach with happy deer from Toboggan Together and Ugly and Bright.

She also used images from Beachy Christmas, Pool Party and On the Beach.

I love the deer in the pool float and also the one in the Santa hat on the surfboard! So adorable!

These happy snowmen will make your gift packages the cutest under the Christmas tree! Tammy layered Outside In Stitched Snowflake with Let it Shine Starry Skies paper as the base. Then she assembled her adorable Build-A-Snowman characters with pretty Knit Picky Winter paper to add on top. Finally, she added the Winter Wavy Saying on a Simple Wavy Banner!

Elena‘s charming card features a “dino-mite” Christmas! She started this fantastic scene with Over the Mountain Borders layered on a dramatic black backdrop. Then she gathered some critters from RAWRSOME adding cute holiday hats to their heads! She filled in the scene with images from Toboggan Together, Furry and Bright, and Mermaid for You. She created the sentiment by combining Offset Sayings: Christmas with RAWRSOME.

Catherine‘s Giant Happy Hanukkah card is so festive and full of holiday fun! The cute mice are enjoying the holiday traditions using images from Love You a Latke and Holiday Party Animal.

She used Snowflake Background Stencils to add a layer of texture on her slimline design!

Then she added hot foiled snowflakes on the bottom layer using Snowflake Background Hot Foil Plate and silvery foil!

Latisha‘s gift tags are so merry and bright they will take your Christmas packages right over the top! She simply layered circles on a Scalloped Circle using colorful patterned papers. Then she added hot-foiled greetings on top using Winter Big Scripty Words Hot Foil Plates! So festive and absolutely fun with the addition of glittery accents!

Karin‘s gorgeous Christmas card is so elegant! She used Let it Shine Starry Skies paper to full effect, pairing it with a metallic gold Snow Flurries Backdrop. She brought in more gold with the simple sentiment, and the trees from Snow Day decorated with gold dots!

Elise’s “Silent Night” Banner

Elise created a beautiful decoration for Christmas using Stitched Party Banners! She inked the banners and stenciled a Starry Sky on each one before adding the Grassy Border. Then she created the title banners spelling out Silent Night, Holy Night in Finley’s ABCs.

She created a sweet Nativity scene using animals from Hay There and You Goat This. For the manger she used a planter box from Some Bunny before she added the kids from Joy to All. In the background, Elise added more stenciling with Sunray Stencil.

This is such a clever idea. You could easily add banners to include more animals, shepherds and angels. Or switch up the theme with Ho-Ho-Holidays and favorite Christmas song!

Elena’s Reindeer Ugly Sweater Party

It’s time to plan those holiday parties and Elena has another amazing party idea to share! She designed party decor around the theme of reindeer in ugly sweaters! She used Ugly and Bright with Knit Picky Winter paper!

This fun party decor is all about the adorable reindeer from Ugly and Bright! He sports his tacky finery on the cupcake wrappers, toppers and goodie bags!

Knit Picky Winter paper is the perfect choice for creating a sweater themed banner! Elena cut the paper with Stitched Party Banners, then she used Circle Stackables to cut out the neckline. She decorated the “sweaters” with holly from Woodland Critter Huggers Winter Add-On, a Stitched Snowflake and tacky spelled out in Henry’s ABCs!

Elena kept the cupcake toppers simple and on theme with the Ugly and Bright reindeer in a variety of sweaters. Then she strung even more tacky sweaters across a couple cupcakes! So adorable!

For the Goodie Bag design, Elena popped more sweater-wearing reindeer in the Magic Iris Snowflake Add-On. She cut the goodie bags from more Knit Picky Winter papers!

Oh my, these drink bottle labels are so clever! Elena created the “sleeves” with Woodland Critter Huggers with cuffs from the Winter Add-On set. She decorated the “sweaters” with antlers found in Woodland Critters Huggers!

Wow, this party decor is so adorable! Thank you so much for sharing it with us, Elena!
