» Posted In Celebrations, Happenings, Seasons

Just in time for St Patty’s day, here are our FREE Pinch Proof Printables!! We have several for you to choose from so you can customize a St Patty’s Party just for you!  To greet your guests with green you’ll want to hang up our “Good Luck” banner. Download the pdf here and simply print on cardstock. Then, cut out the circles, hole punch each one and string on green ribbon. It is so cute, your guests are sure to be green with envy!

Now if you’re partying with Little Leprechauns, you’ll want to download our Cupcake Topper Hats! Download the pdf here and print the toppers on cardstock. Cut out each hat with scissors and attach with tape to a toothpick. Place on top of your ‘pot of gold’ cupcakes and you’ll send your kiddos over the rainbow!

For grown-up greenies, host a Brewhaha and serve up some ‘Lucky Brew’ with our funny {pun-ny} beer tags! Download the pdf here and again, print on cardstock.  Cut out the circles, hole punch and tie around your favorite irish brew with green ribbon.

Finally, to ensure that your guests get lucky, create some Leprechaun Hats for anyone who forgets to wear green… those brave enough to wear a hat will definitely be pinch proof! Download the hat pfd here, and the straps here.  Then, you guessed it, print them out on cardstock and cut out the hat and straps. Use tape to affix the straps to each side of the hat, and trim the dotted lines on the other end of the straps to create the hat band clasp. Now, just start practicing your best Irish accent and you’re ready for a St Patty’s day event to remember! Good Luck!!

» Posted In Celebrations

Have you waited until the last minute to get your Valentine’s together?? Here’s a quick and easy way to whip out some goodie bags…

Pick up some lunch size bags. You can use the basic brown paper ones or decorative like we did {we found ours at Michaels}. Fill them with the candy of your choice, but not too full. Fold the top down and punch with two holes. Thread the holes with ribbon and tie in a bow. Lastly, attach one of our cute labels and voila you have a Valentine!! Click here to download the labels… you will need to use Avery Name Tag Labels #5395. Be sure to uncheck the “auto rotate and center” box on your printer dialog when you print the labels.

Lots of love!!

Attach a string to the heart and diplay is somewhere that your Valentine won’t miss it. Then, take the other end of the string and wind it all around the house {or around your backyard or a park if you’re outside}. At the end of the string place your Valentine goodies and an oversized heart. Get it… you’ve got my HEART on a STRING?!? Cutest. thing. ever. This idea works great for Valentines young and old. You could lead your Valentine to any type of sweet candy or treat, just be sure wrap your goodies with love!

In addition to candies, you could lead your Valentine to a beautifully prepared dinner, a picnic, a wrapped gift, flowers, anything! {Hint: for any men reading I can assure you that your sweetie would love to find a pretty piece of jewelry on the end of the string!!}

Fill them with candy and give to your favorite coffee drinkers. Fun!! Also, please share your string adventures with us on facebook – post your pictures and be sure to tag us!!
