Viktoria's Balloon Shaker Card


Hello my crafty Friends!

Today I have a very sweet and simple shaker card to share with you. This one I made for my little niece Viktoria who turns 2 this year! She is such a cutie :)

I wanted to make it a little more personalized, so I used a versamarker pen to write her name on one of the balloons and used some Wow Gold embossing powder to set it. Don't ask where the number 2 stamp came from, I have no clue (if anyone recognizes it let me know ;)
For dies, I used stitched rectangle to create the frame
 and also the balloons that I added to the inside of the shaker.

For the sequin shaker mix I used clear sparkly sequins from Pretty Pink Posh, pink and gold ones from CraftMedley and also some Recollections Thick Glitter and Microbeads. The pattern paper also comes from Craft Smith Paper Pad - Metallic Foil that I picked up at Micheals.

Hoping this sweet personalized Balloon Shaker Card inspired  you today.

Thanks for stopping by!
Happy Crafting  :)

MFT You're One Cool Cat Action Wobbler Birthday Card


Today my baby Maia turns 10! I'm still can't believe it... she's double digits! :'( 
She's almost all grown up!

So for today's post I would love to share with you the card I made for her.
This cute cat reminds me of Maia all prim and proper... well most of the time, LOL!
For her birthday we went to see the Secret Life of Pets this weekend (really funny). So I thought this would make the perfect birthday card for her. I love how just by adding a little wobbler behind the cat's head makes this card interactive and so much fun!

I have a complete product list below on what I used to make the card for anyone interested.

I do not have the coordinating dies for the stamp set and I really do not enjoy fussy cutting.
So for anyone interested in how to make the perfect digi die cuts using the
Silhouette PixScan ←click here for tutorial!






Here is a look at the inside of the card. I had an "Oops moment" happen, but I show you how I solved it in the video below ;)







To see how this card came together check out my video below.

Or watch it on YouTube here <----click!

I didn't show it in my video but I did add some clear Wink of Stella just behind the cat for some extra sparkle ;)

Hope I have inspired you today with my Cool Cat Action Wobbler Birthday Card!

Thanks for stopping by!

Rock Star Birthday Party | DIY Party

This past weekend our family celebrated my daughter's 7th Birthday.  Hard to believe my little girl is 7 already! For her party, she wanted to go with a rock star theme. She's really into karaoke these days and likes to act like a rock star... DIVA and all! I can hardly wait for those teenage years! If you've been following my blog you'll know she already had an early birthday party about a month ago with all her little girlfriends from school. Click HERE for her Paint themed Party!

Here is our little DIVA!


Other than the ceiling decor, I didn't do too much to decorate for the party. I had seen this done somewhere on Pinterest and thought about doing something similar for her party. Such a simple and inexpensive decoration too.

The only things I did purchase from Party City that were Rock Star themed were the balloons, 1 table cloth, hanging coils, and loot bags.

Here's what I used to make the ceiling decoration: 
  • 2 black plastic tablecloths 
  • 1 blue plastic tablecloth
  • 1 pink plastic tablecloth
  • 12 pink tissue paper sheets for the tissue pompom. Click HERE for directions.
(All supplies listed above were bought at a Dollar Store (for less than $5) why spend more when it goes right into the garbage when you are done!)
    All I did was cut each table cloth in half lengthwise. Then I chose my center point on the ceiling. I then took one end of the plastic pieces of table cloth gathered it together and with a thumbtack pierced it into the ceiling. Then I stretched out the same piece and secured each end of that piece with another tack. (For extra strength and to prevent it from ripping, I rolled the end of the cloth first and then pierce through two layers. This also hid the tack from view). Repeat the process with as many pieces as you like!

    Don't worry too much about the holes left behind on the ceiling, they are barely noticeable. Especially if you have a textured ceiling like I do.


    I also created this table back drop by covering 2 foam board pieces with pink wrapping paper and then used another black table to create the curtains of a stage. The stars were created with my Silhouette Cameo.


    Finally, here is the cake I made for my little Rock Star! The bottom layer was a chocolate flavored 10 inch cake and the top a vanilla flavored 6 inch cake. All covered with vanilla butter cream and finished with fondant.  I used rice crispy treats to create the guitar shape and covered it with fondant, and the guitar strings.... SPAGHETTI!  Yup, just painted them silver. I was mostly excited about the bottom quilted layer. For my first try doing this technique it turned out pretty awesome! 


    Hope you like my take on the Rock Star themed Party! I know my little girl did :)
    Thanks so much for stopping by.

    Happy Party Planning :)
