She Leaves a Little Sparkle Wherever She Goes

I hosted a baby shower for my sister-in-law who is due to give birth to a baby girl in August. I wanted to do a pink, black, and gold theme and was really excited to see the "Pop of Pink Specialty Designer Series Paper" coordinated perfectly! I started with her invitations and incorporated gold heat embossing on these. I used some retired Melon Mambo ribbon I had in my retired stash to run around the top.

Once I got the invites in the mail, I started focusing on the décor and dessert table. I used the adorable new "Popcorn Box Thinlit" die for the popcorn treat boxes, and the coordinating "Ready to Pop" stamp set (which I also used on the cupcake toppers that I heat embossed with gold powder).

The only other thing that took a little bit of time were the diaper gummy bear favor treat pouches that I made for each of the guests. You can find the full tutorial on how to make these super easy diapers here on a previous blog post.

Baby Shower Dos

This past weekend I hosted a baby shower for my sister, who is expecting a little girl in early May. This is her second, but her first is 10 years old, so it's been a little while since there's been a little baby in our family.

Her nursery theme is black, white and red ladybugs, so I used that for the shower theme as well. We had a really fun time and she received some great gifts!

Diaper Favor Tutorial

I have had several requests for instructions on how to create the diaper favors from BFF's baby shower. Below is a picture by picture tutorial which I hope is of help to you. This is not my original idea--I received one of these in a swap last year at convention, but do not have the information for the original creator.

Have fun-they were super easy to make and so adorable!

P.S. Don't laugh at my grungy template--I always use the cardboard pieces that come in the DSP packs for scratch paper and happen to cut my template from one I'd used a lot. ha ha Ignore my hand written notes on the cardboard piece--they don't mean anything--just the dimensions on the white paper underneath. :)
