New To Shop | Easter in Stitches

Apr
03

Any cross stitch lovers out there? I have been a lover of cross stitch ever since grade 4 when I convinced my aunt to take me for a weekend and teach me the home art of cross stitch. i still remember my first cross stitch: a little heart sampler with the words “I love Mom”. I’ve been a regular stitcher ever since.

So for this Easter, with the art of cross stitch on my mind and the desire to create a simple, homemade celebration, I brought my love of cross stitch to my love of parties and created this sweet little Easter Cross Stitch Collection.

Only three items, available separately in my Etsy shop. Keeping the holiday simple and homemade.

The Easter Cross Stitch Tent Cards create a lovely place setting, but they would make sweet favor tags/thank you cards when attached to Easter treats! Don’t you think?

The Easter Cross Stitch Party Circles for decorating cupcakes and bars, or perfect favor tags when attached to little bundles of sweets for the kidlets that may be celebrating with you this weekend.

And the Easter Cross Stitch Bottle Wrappers for decorating your bottled beverages, also perfect for bundling up your napkins and cutlery.

Sweet with touches of homemade, just how this mama likes it!

How are you decorating for Easter this year?

New To Shop | Baby Elephant Collection

Mar

Oh yes, it’s been a busy week here! I’ve been busy preparing for Easter/Ostara, my youngest daughter’s birthday, all these new printable collections and I have a writing project to finish. Crazy days indeed! But I had to introduce you to the newest collection to hit the shop today. It’s sweet, it’s darling and it’s available in two colourways: one for boys and one for girls.

I am very happy to say the new Baby Elephant Collection is now in the shop!

Available in blue.

And coral.

The full collection includes Party Circles, Bunting, Bottle Wrappers, Tent Cards, Favor Tags, Loot Bag Toppers, Thank You Cards, Scrapbooking Papers and Treat Bags. Yes, treat bags! Did you notice those little lovelies, they are new for this collection. So excited! They add a little something-something I think.

The baby Elephant Collection can be customized to suit your event, perfect for a 1st birthday, but it would also make a darling baby shower for moms-to-be who know the sex of their baby. If you need something neutral for the moms-to-be who are waiting right down to the birth, I can customize the collection with a little spring green or violet. Hmmm violet would be pretty.

Invitations in blue and invitations in coral are available separately.

Are you expecting any wee ones this spring?

New To Shop | Pirate Collection

Mar

Yes, I am back! Back from swimming in the Atlantic, back from the land of sun and sand. Le sigh. Even though we have had unseasonally warm temperatures here in Ontario, I do miss the ocean so very much. Especially now that the cold has creeped in again. I have been adjusting to not swimming everyday and keeping busy-busy behind the scenes since I got home. Even though it’s been quiet here, I have been posting over on my Facebook page over the past week, so if you haven’t checked it out yet, get on over there and ‘Like” it to catch that action!

Just before I left for March Break, my friend Magdalena from Oh So Chic Celebrations Event Design and Styling asked if I could put together a pirate theme for her. So of course I said yes! I mean her work is amazing! I knew that if I created something, in her hands, it would look incredible. The pirate theme has been on my list of designs forever and this was the perfect chance to make it happen.

I am dying to see and share pictures of her event, dying I tell you! But I do have a few pictures of this new collection which just sailed into my Etsy shop this morning!

Party circles and party flags. I am loving these party flags, perfect for food and cupcakes.

But wait till you get a look at the just-for-this-collection, mast style party flags. They are awesome!

Seriously awesome, yes?! You can turn any treat into a pirate ship with these party flags, mini treat cups full of carrots or cupcakes. Or make a simple little boat out of construction paper like I did, glue  or staple the ends close, place a weighted tealight holder in the bottom and fill with treats. Can you imagine a table full of pirate ships filled with sweet booty for your pirates to fill loot bags? I can!

Need some toppers for those loot bags? Those are included in the set as well.

The full Pirate Collection is available in my Etsy shop and it includes Party Circles, Bunting, Bottle Wrappers, Tent Cards, Favor Tags, Loot Bag Toppers, Party Flags, Mast-Style Party Flags (for ye boats filled with eats and treats) and Scrapbooking Papers.

Invitations are sold separately.

I’m off me hearties! Can you tell it’s Talk Like a Pirate Day around here?
