Angela's 30th Birthday Blog Hop!

Welcome to “Angela’s 30^th Birthday” Hop! So glad you can join us!

11 super crafty girls would like to share with you their birthday creations. Hopefully this will give you all some inspiration to make something for that upcoming birthday!

If you are coming from Pam - http://lovebugcreations3.blogspot.com,

then you are in the right spot. If you just happened to stumble upon my site, please start at Angela’s so you don’t miss anyone’s amazing projects!

Before I introduce my project, I would like to send a huge “Happy Birthday” to our awesome Hostess-Angela Corcoran!  I’d also like to thank her for the opportunity to do this hop!  Everything I have created was outside of my “comfort zone”, so for the chance to do that….THANK YOU!  Everyone of these awesome cuts  (except for the teapot (from SVGCuts))is available on the CTMH-Artiste Cricut Cartridge.  If you just HAVE to have it, I am a CTMH Demonstrator, so please just message me! 

I decided to do a little birthday party montage.  Being a mom of 3 girls, you DREAM of doing things like this….but being a mom of 4, I have NEVER had the time!  I centered mine around a “tea party” theme and tried to go heavy on the pinks and pearls.  All of my papers in this project were printed from the Cricut Imagine Blossom cartridge.  I learned that you can print on pearlescent paper (happy mistake) and give your prints a whole new look!  I made a purse treat bag…to fill with a few goodies for the party guests, a pinwheel-which can be used for fun or used to decorate cupcakes, etc., a cupcake wrap (which I altered) a treat “take home” box, and a teapot invitation.  All have been accented with adhesive pearls and a combo satin/sheer ribbon that coordinates.  In all honesty, I just don’t understand cupcake wrappers, lol.  That being said, they are cute cute cute!  I took a different approach with mine, and added a bottom using a circle cut to the diameter of the opening and adding tabs to adhere to the inside of the cup.  My thinking with this was that you could use them also as (serving cups) for candies, nuts, dried fruit pieces, etc!  I’m now rethinking the versatility of these cute little diddies!  The box was super easy to cut and large enough to use them to send your party guests home with a few petit fours, cookies and whatnot.  The purse box is just adorable.  I think it would be perfect to include a few pieces of “glam” beads for your guests to wear.  The pinwheel is super fun and is adhered to a simple lollipop stick.  The invitation pulls everything together!  While intended for a birthday, I do think this little ensemble would be great for a baby shower, girls get together and any reason you might just want to be cute!  Thanks for stopping by!  Don’t forget to leave your comments and become a follower so you can register for the blog candy!  My blog candy will be $50 worth of assorted crafty goodies! (All NIP!)
