{NEW COLLECTION} - Cupcake Cutie!

I've been working for the last month on a really sweet custom order for a little girl's first birthday. The first thing her mom asked was for bright, hot and scrumptious pink combined with an equally fun yellow. Great colors -- happy colors -- and a cute cupcake theme make this a perfect party for girls of all ages. And now it's available in my shop to everyone -- hooray! And seriously, what could be easier and more fun than a simple decorate-your-own cupcake party. No work, mamas! Just put out plain cupcakes, frostings and other goodies like sprinkles, jimmies, crushed oreos and chocolate chips and let the kids go to town!

As with all of my party printable packages, there are loads of files with just about everything you can imagine to decorate and plan a cute birthday party.

One of my favorite pieces are the cupcake toppers and cupcake wraps. I love these wraps! I used my Fiskars "cloud" decorative scissors to cut the top edge so that it gives a circus-like feel.

This package is full of personalized items. The napkin wraps and an 8" centerpiece sign feature your child's monogram, while the cupcake toppers (2" logos), the 4" and 8" centerpiece circles, the water bottle wraps, door sign and favor tags will all feature your child's name.

The banner pieces come without text as shown above and also with "Happy Birthday" and cupcake end pieces. Add a little ribbon and tulle and these make adorable party decorations.

The 4" and 8" circles can be attached to wooden dowels or skewers with hot glue and used in centerpieces, as hanging chandelier decorations or even as party signs in your yard.  

With 20 different typeset food labels and a page of blank ones, too, you'll have lots to choose from for your party dessert table or even a cute cupcake bar.

The INVITATION and thank you note set is another favorite of mine from this collection.

And sweet favor tags are perfect for attaching to small trinkets or treats for your guests to take home with them.

Attach the 8.5"x11" door/party sign to some scrapbook paper, add some sweet ribbons and tulle and tack it up just about anywhere for a really quick and adorable party decoration.

So be sure to check out the new CUPCAKE PARTY listing and take advantage of my discounted full party package pricing -- about 35 files for $29.00!
