Summer Party – Bloghop + Giveaways

Welcome to Joy’s Life May Design Team Blog Hop & Giveaways! I’m so glad that you joined us! If you came from Joy’s blog, you are right on track!

I am a big fan of party crafts: paper hats, favor boxes, cupcake liners, cupcake stands and banners are so fun to make! Here in Arizona, we have been on shorts since March:) Summer is finally coming to most of US! :) I went with the neon trend this time. (Supplies are linked at the end of this post.)

I like how “enjoy” fits right into the Party Picks. Cupcake Liner die takes a half sheet of letter sized paper to make one (5.5″ x 8.5″). The cupcake stand die is out of stock at the moment, so I found a similar design in the Silhouette store (not as sophisticated but still cute :)

Aren’t they the cutest party favors? :) I made a video tutorial for them, you can find it here.

The party hat body is made from a half sheet of letter sized paper (5.5″ x 8.5″). The string holes are cut by the die-cut machine as well.

Yummy cupcakes! Orange seems so right for summer!

I die cut a bunch of circles from scraps and sew them together to make this banner:) Easy and pretty!

I had so much fun putting this party set together:) (And ate more than enough cupcakes along the way ;) I hope that you are inspired to create something yourself!

    Your Blog is fantastic!! What great ideas I am getting on this Blog Hop!!! My favorite party theme, hands down, is Halloween!!! When my daughter was small I always had a Halloween Party for her November Birthday (a little early) and it was always a hit with all the crafty ideas I had!! Wish the kids were small again so I could use all my new found craft project ideas! lol :)

Great idea for those scraps! Great video on the juice boxes by the way!! My favorite celebration is New Years because it makes me reflect on what I did or didn’t accomplish the past year and helps me plan for the new year. Thanks for sharing you awesome creativity!

    I love Christmas because I come from a large family and we all come together at this time. It is so much fun to see everyone and all the grandkid, niece, and nephews. We come to about fifty people. Who every is hosting the party makes a gift for all the women. Sometimes it is the guy who make the gift and sometimes it the women, but it is always homemade.
