Lorelys Maia's Cupcake Birthday Invitation

Hey, I am going full force with the preparations of my daughter's birthday and I wanted to share the final design for the invitations.  I wanted something crafty, but easy to do at the same time.  I think they came out awesome.  I designed the template in AI, then printed it out on white cardstock.  After a couple of straight cuts and some folding, the invites are done... well at least the first one!  I wanted to incorporate the design of the cupcake I had made earlier with the Martha Stewart punch that was the inspiration for the birthday, so I put the punched cupcake at the top of the birthday cake. The invitation has a flap that closes like an envelope, so I am saving the envelopes.  And notice that I lined the inside of the invitation with pink paper, I think it adds a nice touch. NOTE:  I am from Puerto Rico, so the invitations are in Spanish. I hope you enjoy the pics... and if you do, please share the love with a comment!

Super cute gift tag with a twist

Amy from Eat Drink Chic came up with this wonderful design of a gift tag with a modern twist.  Instead of a normal gift tag, Amy made this super cute envelope that contains a letter to newborn Violet.  She even designed the lettering on Violet's name.  I also love how she photographs her creations.  Absolutely a great keepsake, so I had to share!

 Amy was so kind to post a free DIY template from a similar theme here.  Get it and start creating!

Wedding Cake Pop Up Card

I needed a wedding greeting card and I came up with this Pop Up Wedding Cake card.  I think it came out wonderful! I also made a little money holder going the theme because the couple requested gifts in cash.  If anyone is interested in a generic Bride/Groom card, please leave a comment and I will make a  freebie PDF file.

Cupcake Design Too

I made another version of the cupcake, with a little more detail. Because the punch is so little I didn't include a lot of detail in the first one, but I think it will be fine, I like them both. Tell me what you think.

I got my first comment!!! I am so excited! It was from Fernanda, lucky me I speak both Spanish and English. It feels really good that someone else likes what you do and takes the time to comment.

The Cupcake Design

I think these little cupcakes are going to be a hit at the party! I used my Martha Stewart Cupcake punch and scanned the design to my computer, then digitalized it... added a few elements here and there and voila the Cupcake for Lorelys Maia's Birthday.  I also added the number two and the letter L and M (Lorelys Maia).  They perfectly fit the cupcake punch and they punch out very well. They can be placed on invitations, cupcake toppers, tags and other things.  I was playing a little bit with them and wondering if I should use them overlapped or apart. What do you think?

A color scheme can be found {anywhere}

I went to the local Walmart and found this gorgeous paper bags in a delicious color scheme, just perfect for Maia's second birthday.  So the color scheme is set!

I am working out the design for the cupcakes incorporating the colors above. I hope they turn out sweetly sweet!

I also want a Sweetly Sweet Table

Candy Buffets and Dessert Tables are all the rage right now and of course I want to design a Sweetly Sweet Table for my daughter Lorelys Maia too.  Here is some Eye Candy just to get started with some inspiration.

Inspiration for my daughter's birthday party

I found this Martha Stewart cupcake punch at Walmart and completely fell in love with it.  I think this is going to be the starting point for my daughter's second birthday party!  I am getting all kinds of ideas, now I have to select the color scheme.  What do you think?

Sweetly Sweet blog!

I am a mom to an almost 2 year old and a wife to a wonderful man. Between taking care of my daughter, being a good wife, trying to finish my studies and taking care of my home, I have little time to explore a little passion of mine... all things party! Well, my daughter's second birthday is coming soon so I want to blog about how I manage to organize her birthday party and take suggestions from the whole world. Let's see how this works out!
