Kierstin’s First Birthday Decor

Posted on by
Kierstin’s First Birthday Decor

Hi everyone!  Sorry to be missing this week.  My daughter’s first birthday was this week so we celebrated then,  and her party was today.  Her theme was cupcakes.  I found her the cutest little dresses to wear on her birthday and her party day.  I made cupcakes, K’s smash cupcake and cake pops.  I found cute little “1st birthday girl” themed party supplies that had a cupcake on them.  I used my Cricut Imagine Yummy Cartridge to make a few items, too.

For birthdays, we keep things small and simple.  Homemade Cake, well, cupcakes, ice cream, chips, dip and pickles with family.  This is the way that both my husband and myself have celebrated our birthdays growing up.  So for now, that’s what we will do for our little ones.  Some how it ends up being a week-long celebration.  Great times!

Here’s a peek into her celebration:

Happy 1st birthday Face

Party Day

 

High chair decor.  On the wall:  Cupcake cut from the Yummy Cartridge using the fit to page.  Number 1 cut from the Plantin School Book Cartridge at an 8.8.  I ran the 1 through the Cuttle Bug using the Swiss Dots Folder and wrapped a ribbon around it. I pop doted the 1 to the cupcake.  The smaller ones are cut and Cuttle bugged at 4 inches.  On her high chair I printed three banners from the Yummy Cartridge, changed the colors a little and cut more 1′s just like before. The banner I used the Crop-a-dile to punch holes and set eyelets to run embroidery floss through and tie together.  The 1′s are pop dotted to the banner.

Gift Area:  I printed and cut the Cupcake  and Party from the Yummy Cartridge using the fit to page and print and cut another cupcake and 1 the same as over her high chair.  I had an extra small 1 and threw it up between the words at the last minute.  The tags o the pink bags I cut and printed as well from the Yummy Cart.  I cut each of the 3 cupcakes in the handbook at 5 inches and made the same small “1′s” as before, I popped them up on the tag.  I punched a hole and set an eyelet in each cupcake and ran floss through them to attach to the bags.

 

 

And this is my “baby girl” in her party dress…. love her!  I didn’t realize until the party that her dress matched the party supplies, polka dots and all.

Thanks for checking in with me and helping to celebrate this princess’ first birthday.  I will take closer pictures of the Cricut decor so you can see the detail.  Be sure to subscribe to keep up to date with my projects and such.  See you in the next post.

Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day

Hi everyone!  Hope you all had a sweet Valentine’s Day.  I spent my day with my two little sweethearts.  We made delicious cupcakes together, found on Pinterest of course.  Blake likes to pour everything in the mixing bowls and licking the beaters when we’re finished and Kierstin LOVED eating them.  Brownie batter/strawberry cupcakes:

 

I did tweak the recipe and used Strawberry Cake Mix as suggested by the “pin” on Pinterest.  I think they were pretty and yummy.

I made a simple card for my husband.  He isn’t much of a card person and could really care less if he ever got a card  but I made him one anyway.  Not traditional and tried not to be girly… he didn’t comment so not sure what he thought.  Blake and I liked it.

I like the way the hearts turned out.  I crumpled them in my hands a few times and ran a bit of black ink over the edges and wrinkles. I printed paper from Imagine More Cricut Cartridge and layered them on Kraft cardstock. I cut the hearts from the stock images on the Imagine on dark red cardstock.  The larger heart I ATG’d to the paper and popped the smaller heart up on foam squares.

In addition to cupcakes I grilled filet mignons on my grill pan, baked sweet potatoes, heated some corn and baked some garlic cheddar biscuits for supper.  I did get compliments on supper… haha.  It was super yummy.
