Mad Science Party

February 4, 2015

Amy of A Dazzle Day was looking for a mad science party theme for her oldest, which would be full of fun experiments! The science party package was designed for Amy, but as I was working on it, my son too asked for a science party! It was really neat to see how she and I came at this party from different perspectives. Amazing how each of us can start with the same party package theme and then the resulting parties are so unique and personal. Here is the link to my sons Luka’s science party here.

This is what Amy had to say about the package and working with me :)

“I have the honor again to work with my favorite designer, Tania from Tania’s Design Studio @ www.taniasdesignstudio.etsy.com. She inspired me with her printable as I incorporate my design and ideas together. She’s always a breeze to work with. Thank you, Tania!”

I just loved the ribbon bow ties that she made for the party guests! Each attendee received a lad coat, goggles, bow tie and name tag.

Amy always finds interesting ways to use the party items, for instance, hanging here are party signs, cupcake toppers as well as the “Thank you for participating in my Birthday Experiment” chocolate bar wrappers. She never limits herself to the uses of the printables and because f that, her parties are so unique and ingenuous.

Another example of Amy thinking outside the box is her use of the mini chocolate bar wrapper designs which were punched out to make those super cute straw decals! Those beakers used to glasses, well that is just plain awesome!

Amy designs a special birthday hat and cake for every birthday celebration. So much care and thought go into each of her kids parties.

thanks again for sharing!

Little Mister Party

February 3, 2015

One of my all time favourite party tables…this one is both simple and super sweet! My love for stripes and mustaches came together and created one special party for one very special birthday boy! There is quite a ‘stache of ideas to inspire your next party…a cute photo booth and handsome whisker embellished treats on a DIY decorated dessert table!

This frosting technique is an absolute favourite of mine because it is fool proof. I added the mustache by adding a lollipop stick to the back with a glue gun. I then inserted the stick into the cake and it wasn’t going anywhere! And there was a colorful cake design inside!

The photo booth was a really fun element to this party for the kids and parents alike!

Pink Kitty Cat Party

February 3, 2015

Another year and another super sweet party for Amy of A Dazzle Day‘s daughter Mia. Amy is always so creative and uses all sorts or craft elements ~ lace, ribbons, glitters, yarns, fur and tulle. It is always a such a treat to see what she pulls together for her kids birthday parties!

Amy put together a really great tutorial on her blog on how to make that adorable yarn ball number sign. Click here for the step by step tutorial!

These kitty cat headbands and bell collars were crafted by hand as well!

Having three boys myself, this dose of girly girl pink eye candy is so uplifting! I loved all the detail and love that goes into Amy’s parties! Thank you again for sharing!

Gone Fishing Party

October 2, 2014

My son Karlo is all about the outdoors, so he was all ready to cast off and have some ‘reel’ fun with his Gone Fishin’ 5th birthday party!

The main party table was styled around the printable party package I designed especially for my son’s birthday. I searched all over town to find fishing items to add a little bit of rustic to the cute printables. Lots of wood grain, burlap and natural looking grasses along with the fun pops of color made this themed table fun and festive!

I like to design cake centerpieces that can help a mom transform an inexpensive homemade cake into something special and this gone fishing cake turned out just as I had imagined. I frosted the cake with the petal design technique to resemble waves. Then using the printables, I strung a line of colored fish on bakers twine and bamboo sticks and lastly, the gone fishing inspired sign let everyone know my birthday boy`s age!

The party bait shop was stocked full of edible treats like the reels and worms. The reels where created using two chocolate covered cookies and sandwiched a large marshmallow. My husband was clever to have me add the mini marshmallows for further detail which really made them look reels!

Full party package detail are available in my Etsy shop, click here for details!

Happy celebrating!

Junior Scientist Party

September 11, 2014

My oldest munchkin turned seven this year. Birthdays are starting to move to a more grown up and ‘on trend’ party theme. I have officially lost the battle of choosing the party theme! To be honest, I only really want to see how happy my boys are when their mommy setups for their special day.

This junior scientist party did not disappoint! It was a really fun birthday to plan and style; radioactive jello, periodic table cookies, a Mad Scientist experiment session! It all made good for a positively brilliant afternoon!

I got the inspiration to make this watercolor cake from an online tutorial I saw on Sweetapolita, which you can find here, along with other great tutorials.

These absolutely fabulous cookies were designed by the talented Evon of Cookievonster. I am always so thrilled to go pick up cookies from her because she surprises me with her beautiful works of art every . single . time!

All my party packages come with chocolate bar wrappers and here is one in use. Instead of wrapping a chocolate bar, I used the paper to cover some Smarties!

The cake pops are by Carmen of Carmen’s Sweet Creations. Her cake pops look and taste the best and are often the first thing to go at my parties.

Our newest member even got to get into the fun of this party!

Happy birthday to my bright and sweet junior scientist!

Dreamy Woodland Fairy Party

July 21, 2013

I had the pleasure of once again working with Amy of A Dazzle Day. Her attention to detail and many DIY party decorations really makes her stand out as a fabulous party stylist! We worked closely together to create this dreamy lavender and mint woodland fairy party package that came alive for her daughter Mia’s second birthday. It is equally as beautiful as her Princess Safari Party that she styled for Mia’s first birthday, found here! This gorgeous party was featured on Hostess with the Mostess, here.

These adorable toadstool seat covers were handmade by Amy and she was so kind as to put together a tutorial for all those interested. This tutorial and following DIY projects for this party were all featured on Hostess with the Mostess along with the party itself! These seat covers are an easy sewing project and totally affordable, click here for the step by step instructions!

From fairy wands, custom clay ornaments, wooden peg fairy doll and hand stamped muslin purses, these little fairy guests were made to feel very special in Mia’s enchanted garden!

The fairy tutus for this party were also made by Amy and are available in her Etsy shop A Dazzle Da y!

The wooden peg fairy doll tutorial can be found here.

I do love this party hat that was created by Amy and I think Mia truly felt like a fairy princess!

The tutorial for the woodland name card holders can be found here.

Napkin wraps are included in all party packages and I love to see them used because they really do add so much to the party decor. Amy further embellished with hand stamped wooden cutlery and cute elastic ribbon is made to resemble fairy wings. So clever! The tutorial for these wraps can be found here.

I do hope you enjoyed this sprinkling of fairy dust as it was one enchanted party from start to end!

Wishing you all a party full of fairy magic!

Superhero Party

April 30, 2013

Superheroes are a big thing in our house and so it is only fitting that I would create a party for one of my boys with that theme! This party was so fun to plan but even more fun to enjoy, the kids just loved it! This party was featured on Amy Atlas, here!

When imagining the cake, I new I wanted something bold and graphic, so instead of fondant I was decided to make ombre sugar dots to mimic the vintage dotted comic design from the party package. I got my inspiration for these sugar dots here . The diy tutorial on how to make these was so easy to follow and I think the time to make them was well worth it :) The graphic cutouts that are available in the party package really made this cake pop!

The invitation is made to look like a vintage comic design, it was a great way to let the guests know what was to come.

The amazing shortbread cookies were created by the talented Evon of Cookievonster and they really added a lot of impact to the party table.

The cupcake fondant toppers were so amazing as well. They were create by Janderyn of earthandsugar.

The cake pops were created by Carmen of Carmen’s Sweet Creations. She had a great idea to give them a shimmer in order to resemble spandex and I think it looks absolutely perfect!

The polka dot backdrop is fabric I purchased from IKEA, I also used it in the photo booth area, but in red!

Little Ninja Party

April 11, 2013

My youngest son Karlo, has been into anything and everything ninja for the past few years, so last year I created a sweet little party to honor his wishes. I am anxiously waiting to share pictures of the this years superhero party, but waiting for a feature on Amy Atlas Events before I show you all the fabulous details! So here is Karlo’s 3rd birthday ninja party!

One of the main design elements was the ‘rising sun’ and it was used for the cupcake toppers and the birthday banner.

I had so much fun making the rice krispy sushi! It was beyond easy, so yummy and even more…it was so pretty!

I used the individually wrapped krispy treats and then cut them out with a sharp knife and circular cookie cutter. If the cookie cutter or knife got too sticky, I just smeared some butter what I was cutting with and all is well. Fruit roll ups are used for the seaweed and the red “roe” are sprinkles, but they look very realistic!

I found that the red Swedish fish looked and worked best for the sashimi!

I bought the cake from Safeway :) then I used the cake bunting and graphic cutout to make it look custom, so simple and cute!

Straw flags were used to decorate the fruit and veggies, making them more enticing for those little fingers!

I hope a little ninja master will enjoy this party theme as much as my little Karlo did!

My older son is now into TMNT, for those who don’t know the acronym, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and his birthday is fast approaching. Party planning is in full swing for that theme!

The full party package is available in my Etsy shop, click here to view.

happy celebrating!
