I love to see my printables in action, so I was delighted when I received this pics form my sweet customer Brigitte. It was her adoable daughter's first birthday party... And the theme was... cupcakes of course!

Look at the adorable big cupcake cake and the matching little smash cupcake.

The dessert table... fabulous!

And the party at the garden... a magical first birthday!

 Thank you so much for sharing your pics Brigitte and Happy Birthday to your little one!

Mini Cupcake Stand Tutorial!

Here is what you have been waiting for! Thank you so much for the response in Facebook! I made the tutorial using patterns from the Sweet Berrylicious Collection, thank you to one of my biggest fans Michelle for suggesting it!

I am so in love with this little cuties. The method of doing this little cupcake stands was developed by me, I haven't seen this tutorial on the web... and I have researched a lot! I am a scientist, so I actually used the scientific method (yeah how dorky is that!) to achieve less cutting and more sturdiness. You can place this tutorial on your blog, but please link back to here and give the proper credits. If you use this method to do your own Mini Cupcake Stands, please also give the proper credit and link back... thank you so much! If you don't want to do this by your own, you can buy beautiful pre-made white mini cupcake stands from Hello Hanna. But enough of the fine print, here is the tutorial:

1. Print on bright white heavy paper.

 2. Cut a rectangle around the base of the stand using a rotary cutter.

3. Use a scoring tool to score along the white lines.

 4. Fold the base in a zig-zag way, like you were folding a fan.

 5. Form the shape of the base with the pattern on the outside. Make sure they align.

 6. Start gluing sides one by one, satrting with the second fold. (Leave the two outer parts for the end.) Make sure to put glue all the way to the edges and that all the parts are aligned.

 7. Cut the top part while you let the glue dry. Carefully cut away the white semi ovals of the base.

 8. Place a heavy glue on the edges on top of the base. Place the top part on a flat surface upside down. Glue the base to the top align the legs of the base with the petals.

 9. Now you have sturdy, neat and cute mini cupcake stands to match your Sweet Berrylicious Party!

Want the Free PDF file to make one of these beautiful cuties??? Stay tuned because I will post it soon! I will also post the Pinwheels to match this collection (I actually had forgotten about them!).

Lorelys Maia's Alice in Wonderland Birthday

We had such a blast on my daughter's third birthday. I did a Tea Party theme inspired on Alice in Wonderland. I designed all the paper goodies and here is my second attempt to make a sweets table... I learned a copule of things on the way and want to share them with you on another post... but first see the pics and bring on those comments!

 

The chocolate goodies above were done by Edu, a local artisan, they are actually typical Puertorrican candies like guava, cocconut and "polvorones" covered in chocolate... something you can only find in Puerto Rico! Visit Edu here!

We covered the cupcakes with tulle because living in a tropical island, mosquitoes are an everyday issue... but I ended up loving the way they look.

I hope you enjoyed the pics and stay tuned because I am working on the tutorial for the cupcake stands! I was so happy to have such a great response in Facebook for those...Thank you!

More Alice in Wonderland Goodies: Mini Menus

I just created some menus for a local event, and had the idea of creating this mini menus for the kids table. They look so little and cute! Enjoy and keep those comments coming in... I want to know if you are still out there!

 And pics of the little cutie on top of the cutie mini paper cupcake stand...
Again, please excuse the pics, but my poor camera is dying!

Don't forget to keep sharing the Mini Cupcake Stands post on Facebook, when the post gets 15 shares, I will share a free tutorial on how to make this little cuties. They are very sturdy and easier to make than you think... I am a scientist so I experimented and developed a method to do it! Yeah, so weird, but that's how I am!

Mini Paper Cupcake Stands!

I had started to see this cupcake stands popping up all over the internet, even with tutorials in you tube for how to do them. So I definitely wanted to design some of my own, specially after seeing the ones from Hello Hannah at Amy Atlas! Cuteness in a cupcake stand...

With the birthday of my daughter coming soon, I decided to design my own to match the birthday theme of course, Alice in Wonderland! And here is how they turned out!

You will have to excuse the photography, but the sensor in my camera has a crack... yeah so sad! That's the best I could do! I need a new camera!

Do you want a tutorial on this cute cupcake stands? Yes? Well, If I get at least 15 Facebook shares on this post, I will do a tutorial... so start sharing with the handy little button in the upper right of this post. Comment here if you shared this on Facebook or just to say a nice thing. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

It's that time of the year again!

Yep, my daughter's birthday is coming soon and I have been doing some things to celebrate in style! I am so behind with my blog, so please excuse me... I am in the last stage of my PhD which means craziness all over! I am designing stuff for her birthday and printing/cutting at night when I get home... but I love it! Of course I want to share the little things I am doing for Lorelys Maia's third birthday with all of you, my loyal readers! Just like I did last year.

I decided on the "Alice in Wonderland Tea Party" inspired theme which is a movie that my daughter loves (the original movie). This is the invitation that I designed, I just love how it looks. I incorporated the tea party elements and a colorful palette, it is unlike anything I had seen before and that's what I like the most about it!

Stay tuned for the rest of the things I will be doing... including some cute paper mini cupcake stands inspired by Hello Hanna!

I had lost contact with one of my high school friends, Monica and she found me on Etsy! This world is so small!

Sweetly Sweet Customers {Girl Baby Shower by Sarah}

I just LOVE it when I get beautiful pictures from customers! So when I saw this baby shower created by Sarah, I just had to share!
