Valentines Day Spa Party

This party makes me wish that I has a girl too. Or at least had a girl to throw a party for. This Spa inspired Valentines Party is absolutley adorable. Perfect for girls of any age. Designed by ItsyBelle , there are no details overlooked. I love the idea of the loofah "sundaes" They make a fantastic favor idea & can easily be tweeked for other themes. I'm thinking ice cream social or pool party.

The best part is the party printable are available at ItsyBelle's Etsy shop for a very reasonable price. Here is the details of the her party in her own words. The link is to ItsyBelle's shop is at the bottom of the post. So take a look & get inspired.

And if you have a little girl that I can plan a spa party for let me know :)

How to make Cupcake Toppers

I've spent years making cupcake toppers in any & every theme that you can think of. From Super Mario to Strawberry Shortcake. You name it, I've made it.

Here are some quick directions to help you make your own. Be sure to check out my Freebies page for Free printable images that you can use :)

Supplies :Scissors or Paper Punches
Cardstock
Photo paper or round label sheets
Hot Glue gun & glues sticks( you can use glue dots & other adhesives, but hot glue works better. JUST BE CAREFUL)
Lollipop stick or toothpick
Computer and printer

Instructions:

Find an image or images you would like for your cupcake toppers. Print them out onto photo paper or cardstock. I prefer photo paper. *You can also print your images onto round labels. If you use this method, you can skip the next step.

Punch out or cut out your images using scissors into whatever shape you would like. The most popular cupcake topper shapes are circles, scalloped, rectangle and square.

Select cardstock for your background and punch out or cut out that as well. *The background needs to be slightly larger than your image. So, if your image is 1.5", your background paper needs to be 2".

Attach a lollipop stick or  toothpick using glue to your cupcake topper. You can attach the stick to the back of the cardstock or in between the cardstock and image. It will be layered. SO you can't see the stick on the back

Optional: Embellish your paper cupcake toppers with ribbon, gems, die cuts shapes, cut outs, etc. Instead of two layers of matting, add 3 or more. You can even attach another image to the back of the topper to make them doublesided. The ideas are endless!

Here are some images of items I have made in the past

Dinosaur Train Birthday

I don't have a little one anymore (he's TOO COOL now :( )BUT I know my son would of loved Dinosaur Train! The show is too cute & quickly is becoming a great party theme.

I was asked to make cupcake toppers for a party

Here is a link to a pdf. You can easily make party tags & cupcake toppers with them

FREE Dinosaur train circles

They are really easy to make.
What you'll need:

• 1.5" craft punch( round)
• 2" craft punch (scalloped)
• 4" lollipop sticks
• hot glue gun
• colored cardstock (Shown with lime, orange & teal)
• printer
• photopaper or cardstock( to print images on)

How you do it:

• Print the image sheet(link above) on either cardstock or photopaper( I like photopaper)
• Cut out images with a 1.5" craft punch
• Cut out 2" scalloped circles out of colored cardstocks
• Use your hot glue gun to adhere lollipop stick to the colored cardstock background
• Then place your 1.5:" round image on the lollipop stick

Be sure to center the stick & the image. Lay flat to dry.

You can easily change this to tags, confetti, or decorations by mounting the images directly to the scalloped backgrounds. Use a 1/8" hole punch if you'd like to use them as tags :)

You can also get very reasonably priced Dinosaur train party supplies. There are plates, napkins, cups etc... Here are where I found the most reasonalble priced: Birthday in a Box


These Tree decorations are so creative! I can't wait to find a reason to make these. You can use these palm trees for a luau or any summer time party. I may have to add these to my Flip Flop Party :)

Here are the instructions that I found at Jenn Spends  Palm Tree decorations

I fashioned palm trees from green balloons, green poster board and brown streamers. Two adorned the entryway, and four surrounded our round table. I used green streamers to connect the “trees” in the dining room and create a canopy effect. Unfortunately my photography skills aren’t up to par with my decorating skills and don’t do the overall experience justice. It was a really fun space to be in.
I cut the poster board (purchased at a dollar store) into long triangular shapes. Depending on width, you can get between 3 to 5 sections from one sheet. I then used scissors to snip short slits along the edges to make the triangles look more like palm fronds. I overlapped the ends of each section and fastened together with masking tape. I then taped a green balloon to the underside, allowing the “branches” to droop down. The trees were taped to the ceiling with masking tape and brown streamers were fastened to the bottom of the balloon to create a trunk. If the branches are too droopy, you can use more tape to fasten them to the ceiling.
