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.)

“enjoy” from Sweet Popsicle Puns, “thank you” from Tag You’re It Set One” by Joy’s Life.

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!

Adorable decorations. I love 4th of July parties…mostly because I love to eat watermelons and I always associate eating watermelon at a 4th of July picnic!
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.
Love the birthday decorations!! The colors are so bright and happy! Birthdays are my favorite holiday to decorate ( craft) for.
