Garden Birthday Party :: Printables

This was the most spur of the moment of all the new party printable designs. My friend Stacy from For The Love of Cake said, “I think I am going to try making some tulip cake pops.” And I said, “I think I can build a party theme around that.” Thats when I came up with my Garden Party Design, it ended up being one of my favorites and I think it would be perfect for a little girl’s birthday party. I can just see the decorations, all cute, trees filled with streamers and paper lanterns, little girls in party dresses, bright blue rock candy. It makes me smile.

I used a common flower pot, you could do SO much with these. They’d be great to serve things (though I think it would be best to line them or put a container inside them). We filled this one with beans and used a rolled piece of fondant to add a little color on the top, but you could do the same thing as we did with the foam ball on the Fourth of July printables. Tie the pot off with some fun ribbon and there you have it!

I LOVE the double cup cake liners on these, I think they really make it pop! We used some more scrapbook paper as a place mat.

The bee was left over from the Bee Party Printables shoot, but I thought it fit. You could use a little bird here, or a butterfly. It just added a nice accent and some visual interest to the set up.

How does your garden grow? The cup cake toppers are made with the Garden Party Printables and candy sticks from Michael’s Crafts. I used a 2″ craft punch to cut them out, but any 2″ shape would look cute. And that my friends is the Garden Party! Let my printables and printable thank you’s be your guide, get creative and enjoy your garden party!!

July 4th Is Just Around The Corner!

Introducing July 4th Party Printables from Diliberto Photo & Design! Hurrah!! July 4th is just around the corner, its become a much bigger holiday in my household since my husband and I got married. He’s from Philadelphia and they do it BIG in Philly. One day we’ll spend the 4th of July in Philadelphia but for the time being I think we’ll do it BIG with a party at home.

These are delicious vanilla cupcakes from Stacy’s For the Love of Cake. If you wanted to extend your red white and blue theme and add a little summer flare you could add a few raspberries and blueberries to each cupcake before baking. Make sure to coat them with flour before you add them to the batter to help keep them from floating to the bottom.

I used candy sticks for the cup dsfcake toppers (found them at Michael’s Crafts) and the ribbon was from Hobby Lobby. Hobby Lobby has a special place in my heart. They also always have their holiday stuff in months before the holiday rolls around, this also means that a few weeks before the holiday most of their stuff is on sale. It’s wonderful.

I got this bucket on sale at Hobby Lobby as well. Several of these in different sizes would be great to serve snacks or used in a red, white and blue candy bar. A simple blue and white polka dot ribbon dresses the bucket up for the occasion. I used a 1/2 foam ball covered in a fourth of july themed scrapbook paper to stick all the wonderful cake pops in. Some pops are tied with just red, white and blue ribbon others have the printables on them. I did two hole punches (with a standard size hole punch) in each printable and slid them on.

Everything ties in together with some red check fabric and some more themed scrapbook paper used as a placemat. You’d be surprised how far a yard of fabric goes and at $2.40 a yard (with a 40% off coupon) and its much cheeper than a standard table cloth and the patterns are basically endless.

And thats the Fourth of July collection! I’ve also created some Thank You printables. There are invitations to come as well (leave a comment if you’re interested and I’ll put them at the top of my design to do list. 🙂 Thanks for reading and Happy Fourth of July!!

Introducing Printable Party Designs!

I am absolutely ecstatic to be introducing my own line of printable party designs. I was totally inspired while helping with my friend Kristen’s baby shower and developing the chandelier and onesie theme for her baby shower. I kept getting more and more ideas the more I thought about all the different kinds of parties and events. I LOVE that the things I create get to be a part of people’s lives and a part of their memories. Its the greatest honor I could ask for.

Over the next few days I’ll be introducing each of my most recent party themes right here on the blog. I’ll be including different and creative ideas to help further your theme as well as tons of pictures from the awesome shoot I did with lovely Stacy from For The Love of Cake.

So stay tuned! And for now here’s a little preview…

Oh and if you just can’t wait for this week’s string of posts you can view and purchase all the collections at dilibertodesign.etsy.com

A Baby Shower

This last friday there was a baby shower for a good friend of mine. The story about how baby Riann came into the world is just fantastic. It begins as a before baby mini vacation that turned into a five week when can we bring home baby San Francisco adventure. Their story is not mine to tell but I can only share that I am so thankful that they are finally home safe and sound with the ever so perfect baby Riann in tow.

And thus, upon their return we had their baby shower. Which now that I’ve been to a shower where the baby has already arrived, I much prefer it. 🙂

Nicole, Stacy and I prepped for this shower weeks ahead of time. We planned. We toiled. We labored. And here are our fruits!

Ok so I’m really proud of the sweets table! It was truly a team effort and it worked out beautifully!

I had the grand honor of making all the printables. SO awesome! I may post a free template…who knows. 😉

 

Someone gave her a framed photo of the first time she felt baby Riann move. Mad props for A. Taking the picture and B. Framing it so beautifully. 🙂

And Stacy hung a clothes line across all her banisters. When we sent out the invites we also sent a little card encouraging guests to bring an unwrapped onsie. SO FUN! Tons of onsies decorated the banisters. It was grand.

And at the end of the shower the most perfect, baby doll sized little girl came to visit us. I love her. Seriously, she’s perfect.
