4th of July : DIY custom decorated picnic plates

noreply@blogger.com (sara_schmutz) — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 13:00:00 +0000

4th of July is one of my favorite holidays! It doesn't get much better than gathering together on a summer evening for a picnic and firework show. And, just because it is an informal picnic, doesn't mean it can't still have a little pop - and these DIY custom decorated picnic plates do just the trick.

If you are like me, then you always have a hard time finding good paper plates for parties! I don't like most of the designs on printed plates. So, for celebrations, I usually go for a solid color paper plate, but the problem there is usually how flimsy and light weight they are. For a 4th of July picnic, I need something heavy since we will be grilling and serving up a classic salad and such.

So, I came up with the idea to customize white heavy duty paper plates that I picked up at my local restaurant supply store. I used one of my favorite products in the world - food decorating pens - to make the plates beautiful and food safe!

To make your own DIY custom decorated picnic plates you will need:

Gourmet Writer food decorating pens

Heavy duty paper plates

4th of July decal - download here

Graphite tracing paper

1: Print the 4th of July decal. 2: Layer a piece of graphite tracing paper in between the 4th of July decal and a paper plate. Trace the decal onto the paper plate. 3: Trace over the decal print on the plate with the red and blue food decorating pens. 4: Continue until you have completed your plate. 5: Repeat.

I love the endless possibilities with this project! I will probably be pulling out the paper plates for every holiday this year.

Don't forget! Confetti Sunshine is moving! & we are having a huge moving sale - get the details here.

Father's Day : Lumber Jack snacks

noreply@blogger.com (sara_schmutz) — Thu, 13 Jun 2013 13:00:00 +0000

I know I said that my husband isn't the type that makes a fuss over cute things. But, being who I am (he did marry me, right?) I couldn't leave his Father's Day treats as is. So, I tried to balance out the manly-ness of Father's Day and the adorable-ness of printable labels with a rugged lumber jack theme. What do you think? Did I succeed?

I love the little printable card that goes with -

"You are my rugged and manly man

And I wouldn't have it any other way."

"Happy Father's Day"

Pretty much sums it up. While I make fun of my husband for not liking my crazy party decorating ways, I know he loves me anyways. And I love him. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

Want to let your husband know how rugged and manly he is, along with giving him treats? You can download the free printable Lumber Jack snack labels here.

Father's Day : printable Trophy Dad awards

noreply@blogger.com (sara_schmutz) — Wed, 12 Jun 2013 13:00:00 +0000

Another thing I am doing for my husband is awarding him a bunch of mini Trophy Dad awards. I really wanted to scatter a bunch of mini trophies around the house, but couldn't find any worth my while. I am really into trophies right now, and have been highly disappointed with the options! Anyone know where I can find good looking trophies that don't cost a bundle?

Anyways - on to Father's Day - I still wanted to celebrate all the good little deeds my husband does for us. So I came up with these little printable trophy awards for the girls and I to post around the house before my husband gets up this Sunday.

Father's Day : DIY custom butcher paper

noreply@blogger.com (sara_schmutz) — Tue, 11 Jun 2013 13:00:00 +0000

My husband is a pretty no-nonsense sort of fellow. I knew he didn't want a decked out party or crepe paper adorned breakfast for Father's Day. He laughs when the girls and I get excited about a pretty tissue flower, and hates to spend $4 on a cupcake. We are each other's opposites in almost every way.

So Father's Day has proven to be tricky (as has his birthday). This year I decided to just stick with the things I knew he would want with a little extra added love.

The first stop is the idea I had to make custom butcher paper to wrap a steak in. A good steak dinner is a favorite, and I cook/bake everything except grill the steak. Since I knew this was something my husband was going to do, I thought I'd dress the steaks up for a little entertainment. And, it was entertaining when my husband read the butcher paper and then asked me if the butcher was doing a Father's Day promotion. Ha! Jokes on him.

Surprise your own hunk of meat with this easy DIY

You will need:

wide format home printer or FedEx Office/Staples/etc

11x17 lightweight paper

Father's Day Butcher paper printable

Twine

Plastic wrap

A good steak

Print the Father's Day Butcher paper printable on a piece of 11x17 paper. I have a wide format printer at home, so I cut down some butcher paper and fed it through my printer (with some difficulty!). You can also, easily print the butcher paper out on a standard paper. Wrap your steak in plastic wrap and place on top of your butcher paper. Wrap the butcher paper around the steak and tie up with twine. Keep refrigerated until time to cook!

Star Gazing Party : DIY Tissue Lantern and other great ideas!

noreply@blogger.com (sara_schmutz) — Wed, 05 Jun 2013 12:00:00 +0000

Don't you just adore mason jars and their raging comeback as a party necessity? I do. I love how nostalgic it feels to drink from a jar. Brings back the good ol' days. I also love seeing them used as table decoration. The more mason jars the merrier in my opinion.

So, for a DIY post for the Star Gazing Party, I decided to put together a DIY mason jar tissue lantern! It is quick and easy (I put together about a dozen in 30 minutes or so) and also looks fabulous on a table.

You will need:

A mason jar

Tissue paper

Elmer's glue

Foam brush

1: Cut your tissue paper to the approximately 2x the height of your mason jar and 1x the diameter (you can easily just wrap the tissue paper around the jar for this measurement) 2: Brush glue all over your mason jar. 3: Crumble your tissue paper slightly. 4: Wrap the tissue paper around the mason jar. The reason you have the tissue paper twice as tall is to add ripples in the paper as you wrap it around the jar. Slightly crumbling the paper before gluing it helps with the ripples. 5: Allow the jar to dry and tie some ribbon or twine around the top. Add either a fake tea candle or a real one for a lovely ambiance effect. You can't ever beat candlelight.

Download the Star Gazing Party free printable invitation here.

Every good party needs a good invitation! I love receiving invitations, and love putting them together. I always try to add a little twist to the invitation, something that compliments the party theme.

You will need:

Star Gazing Party free printable invitation

Dark blue envelopes

Small star hole punch

Yellow tissue paper

Twine

For the Star Gazing Party, I decided to add little stars on the outside of the envelope. I used a small 1/4 inch star hole punch to punch little stars in the envelopes. Next, I wrapped the free printable Star Gazing invitation in yellow tissue paper and tied with a small piece of twine. I, then, stuffed the invitations into the dark blue envelopes. I love how the yellow tissue paper pops through the dark blue envelopes for a star-y night sky effect.

The Party Hop : Star Gazing Party

noreply@blogger.com (sara_schmutz) — Mon, 03 Jun 2013 12:00:00 +0000

Welcome to our Star Gazing Party! This has been one of three big projects I have been working on for the past few months. (Our second big project is moving to Utah at the end of the month for residency, and the third project will be announced shortly)

But, I am so excited for this week! It has been long in the making, so I hope you enjoy it all week long - including a huge giveaway come Friday!

I've put together a little party organization called The Party Hop. What I had planned on, was a way to bring creative party-loving bloggers to all collaborate together and make one fabulous party. These amazing bloggers have more than exceeded my wildest dreams. This party is full of DIY and inspirational party goodness!

Every day this week, all the bloggers will be taking turns sharing how they contributed to the party! Doesn't look fabulous? It's the perfect summer party. This, seriously, was too much fun to put together. And, the fabulous blogger who contributed are:

The Elephant Of Surprise

Shiny Happy Sprinkles

and, of course, Confetti Sunshine Blog

And, I want to give a huge shout out to our wonderful sponsors! Without them, we would not have been able to pull this party all together.

Today, I want to highlight the companies who graciously donated their time and talents to help us with our party:

Thank you to Trophy Cupcakes! They are so supportive and quick to help a party lover, like myself, out. If you haven't ever had a Trophy Cupcake, then you are missing out! Plan a vacation to Seattle to taste one of these beauties!

Find them on twitter: @trophycupcakes, facebook, instagram, & pinterest

Next, a huge shout out to Vintage Ambiance! They have an amazing supply of antique and vintage rentals. I really wanted to bring it all to the party, but had to limit myself to these gorgeous antique trunks. I love finding new ways to display treats and decorations, and Vintage Ambiance had everything I would ever need to rent for a party!

And, finally, a giant Thank You goes to The Splendid Sweet Shoppe for the delicious macarons! I was interested to see how macarons would ship cross country, and I was beyond amazed! I would recommend The Splendid Sweet Shoppe to anyone looking for macarons for a party. They arrived beautifully and safely packaged and are delightful to eat! And, the flavor combinations are amazing. I could eat these macarons all day.

Be sure to stop by tomorrow to see more of our party details and DIY ideas!

DIY : Test Tube Wildflower Favors

noreply@blogger.com (sara_schmutz) — Thu, 30 May 2013 13:00:00 +0000

For the medical test tube and flask inspired shower, I couldn't resist the urge to stuff something in little test tubes for a party favor. They are so cute, and fit the theme perfectly, it was a must. The problem I ran into was filling the little tubes up. I didn't want candy since the party was for adults, and other than candy, it is hard to think up a cute favor idea that would fit in such a small container.

So, after much browsing around Pinterest I found the genius idea to fill the tubes up with seeds. I was able to pick up Pacific Northwest Wildflower seeds - which I thought was perfect and easy to plant.

I would still love any ideas of other favors you would be able to stuff into the test tubes - I think they are fabulous and want to use this idea again!

You can see what else I've been using the medical test tubes and flasks for here.

DIY : Test Tube Chair Decoration

noreply@blogger.com (sara_schmutz) — Wed, 29 May 2013 17:10:00 +0000

Like I mentioned yesterday, I had put together this party decoration for a small baby shower held at a restaurant. Unfortunately, this idea didn't come to me until after the shower. And, I am so sad about that fact, because I really love how the chair decoration turned out! Hopefully you do too.

To make your own Test Tube Chair Decor you will need:

Test tubes

Twine

Random ribbon

Washi flags taped onto skewers

Crepe paper flowers

How to make your Chair Decor:

1: Wrap twine around the top of the chair a couple of times. Tie the twine at the top, leaving at least 6 inches on either end. 2: Tie some ribbon in with the twine by laying the ribbon on top of the twine and tying the twine on top. 3: Take the ends of the twine and tie each of them around a test tube. If you want it "bump proof" I would suggest adding a little glue to the back. 4: Place your washi flags and crepe paper flowers to the test tubes. 5: Repeat on the other chairs!

DIY : Test Tube & Beaker Centerpiece

noreply@blogger.com (sara_schmutz) — Tue, 28 May 2013 19:02:00 +0000

I hope you all had a great long weekend! Ours was busy busy entertaining guests, but so much fun at the same time. After 3 1/2 years of living here, I finally feel like I am getting a good feel for Seattle and can actually drive around the city without my gps.

Anyways, aside from my busy weekend (that I hope to blog about soon), this week I am sharing some ideas that can be put together with medical test tubes and flasks/beakers.

This little centerpiece I put together for a friend's baby shower that we had at a restaurant. Since the party was at a restaurant, I didn't want to go overboard on decorations, but I did want something with some color.

I bought the test tubes and beakers off of Amazon (you can find them here) and then filled them up with little washi tape flags and crepe paper flowers (like the ones I made here, just smaller). Easy and sweet.

DIY Confetti Backdrop

noreply@blogger.com (sara_schmutz) — Tue, 21 May 2013 20:06:00 +0000

I promised confetti this week, so let's play with confetti! I thought I'd try to bring confetti into a place it usually isn't thought of - party backdrops. While this project ended up being insanely easy (seriously, insanely!) I absolutely adore how it looks! Wouldn't this be an awesome photobooth backdrop as well? Ah, I'll admit it, confetti is just makes the world better.

What you will need:

Tissue paper

2 inch circle punch

glue

brush

backdrop - such as posterboard

How to:

1: Punch 2 inch circles out of tissue paper, in whatever colors you want. 2: Spread a tiny bit of glue on the back of a tissue circle, place the circle on your backdrop board. 3: Take your brush and brush glue on top of your tissue circle that is on the backdrop. 4: Repeat.

Such A Doll : DIY Child Size Doll House

noreply@blogger.com (sara_schmutz) — Fri, 17 May 2013 13:00:00 +0000

Well, I couldn't have a doll house party without making a child size doll house, could I? At first, I am not sure why I was putting it all together - my own childhood dream of having a life-sized doll house, or for my girls. But, in the end, the girls really have been enjoying their house and won't let me take it down even for a moment before the tears start falling.

There is something enchanting about having your own little house, isn't there?

To make your own Child Sized Doll House you will need:

5 pieces 48 inches long PVC pipe

5 pieces 40 inches long PVC pipe

4 pieces 23 inches long PVC pipe

2 pieces 25 inches long PVC pipe

4 "L" shaped PVC fittings

6 "Elbow" shaped PVC fittings

2 "T" shaped PVC fittings

To construct the house, use the diagram above for help. I hope it makes enough sense. Ha! I've been wanting to sketch out some instructions instead of always taking a billion pictures. So I thought this project might be a good time to try. Hopefully it was and you aren't terribly confused.

First, build your base with two 40 inch pieces on either side and a 48 inch piece along the back. Take the remaining 48 inch pieces and connect them to your base with 2 "L" fittings for the front, and 2 elbow fittings for the back.

On either side of the house, take the remaining two 40 inch pieces, attach elbow fittings, and place them on the sides of the house, directly above the first two 40 inch pieces.

To create a triangular roof, take two of the 23 inch pieces and attach them together with a "T" fitting in the middle. Do the same thing to the other two 23 inch pieces. Attach the pieces to the front and back of the house.

Place the two 25 inch PVC pipes at the very top, on the top of the "T" fittings. Take the last 40 inch pipe, with two "L" fittings attached and place them on top of your house.

Whew. Yes, it sounds complicated, but it's not as hard as it, err, looks.Try it out. I'd love to see what you come up with!

I made the width the same width as my fabric, so I didn't have to hem the sides (yes, I cheated.) With this house, you could just buy 4 yards off the bolt and drape it over the house for a finished head to toe drape. I did end up pinning some ribbon at the corners to tie around the pvc pipe to keep our roof from sliding off because of curious little fingers.

Such A Doll : Activities

noreply@blogger.com (sara_schmutz) — Thu, 16 May 2013 13:00:00 +0000

While planning the party for my dear little one, I wanted to have some activities that she would enjoy, but not only activities for my 1 year old. I knew we would be having some older kids at the party, such as her sibling and cousins, so I wanted them to be entertained as well.

Some of the activities I planned were:

#1 : Baby Doll Dress Ups

We got these adorable fabric Bit of Whimsy dolls from Baby Dearest as well as some extra clothes. These dolls were the birthday girl's favorite! She loved carrying them around, feeding them a bottle, and (of course) changing their clothes at every chance! The dolls are beyond gorgeous, and I love how soft and perfect they are for little girls.

#2 Decorate Your Own Wooden Dolls

To add a little doll house to our baby doll theme, we got these fabulous miniature doll houses from Lille Huset - they are highly recommended, and I can't wait for an excuse to buy more! I love how they are put together, and can be stored completely flat. To make it even more of an activity, other than just play with the houses, I got little wooden pegs for each of the children to decorate a person of their own.

#3 Color and Stuff Your Own Baby Doll

Since we really felt like everyone needed to head home with their own baby doll, I made up a little DIY doll for our guests to color in with fabric markers. We then stuffed them with pillow stuffing and hand sewed up the bottoms.

#4 Decorate Sugar Cookie Dolls

And, since we didn't have enough treats at our party, I decided we needed even more sugar cookies and candy. It almost felt a little gingerbread man-ish to me, but not so much that I thought anyone else would think the same way. A party host always over analyzes the details. And, having a treat to send home with guests is always a great way to end a party!

Such A Doll : Dessert Buffet

noreply@blogger.com (sara_schmutz) — Wed, 15 May 2013 13:00:00 +0000

When planning a party for any kid, it is hard not to get carried away with the sweets! Kids love them, and they look so good displayed on a table. But, since I was planning the party for my already-sweet-one-year-old, I wanted to only include her favorite sweets.

We love fresh fruit at our house, so we started planning by trying to add as much fruit as possible - strawberries in a bowl, sugar cookie tarts (some topped with lemon curd and some with frosting and strawberries). We also gave in and added a favorite sugary treat - Trader Joe's organic lollipops (they are made with real fruit juice, so that counts as a fruit, right?)

The cake, also painstakingly made by yours truly, was a success and failure all at once. We made one original batch of vanilla cake using a complicated recipe, only to make 2 perfect 4 inch cakes and burn all the cupcakes. After the burned cupcakes came out of the oven, we turned to one of my favorite and easier cupcake recipes - Sprinkle's Vanilla & Peppermint Cupcakes (we just left out the peppermint).

The frosting (used in both the cupcakes and sugar cookie tarts) is on the same page as the cupcake recipe - Sprinkle's Vanilla & Peppermint cupcakes. Just, once again, remember to leave out the peppermint! And, for the cupcakes, we just filled the center with a little delicious Miette Lemon Curd. It was delightful!

I decorated with my daughter's very own dresser, and their clothes were still in the draws! I just prayed guests wouldn't check. I also fringed some plastic table clothes and tissue paper, hung up some tissue decorations.

The "Such A Doll" custom banner is actually a product that I make at home, that I am going to get up in my shop soon. If you are interested in purchasing one, you can find more details here.

This was a fun little party to put together to celebrate my baby! I can't believe she is one! She is such a sweet heart and she really enjoyed the party. I hope you all enjoy seeing it this week.

Such a Doll : Free Invitation Printable

noreply@blogger.com (sara_schmutz) — Tue, 14 May 2013 21:54:00 +0000

This week I am sharing my baby dear's first birthday party! Yes, she was born in March. And, yes, I did actually host the party back in March. I find that I only run behind on the blog. Most of my life is a little more put together than it seems on here.

But, my inspiration (as you might have seen yesterday) was all about baby dolls. Ever since miss Eve was tiny, people have always been commenting on how she looks just like a baby doll. Well, being an unbiased mother, I always had to agree. She also is amazingly obsessed with baby dolls, it is so cute. So when it came time to plan a party, Such A Doll was a perfect fit for my little doll.

You can download the printables here:

Envelope Liner

As well as a cute little invitation and lined envelope, I included a heart garland that I put together using a heart punch, twine, and coordinating cardstock paper. I kept the invitation simple this time since it the party wasn't extravagant and we only invited family over.

But, I loved how it all looks together packaged up in a simple little linen envelope! Sometimes simple really is best.
