Since the theme of our blog hop today is all about PARTIES, I thought why not share a few fun ideas for the next birthday party is your household.

I started with a very simple birthday invitation. I love the "Happy Birthday" greeting from the Happy Word Jumble stamp set. I created a circle mask on the front of my card and then stamped the greeting multiple times across the span of my card in orange ink. With my circle mask in place, I used my Copic airbrush and added a hint of orange colouring around my circle.

Then I took the fun little cake and multiple candles stamps from my Happy Birthday (small box) and stamped them with in my white circle. I coloured in my image and the masked off the cake and candles and the surrounding card and used my Copic airbrush with some blue ink and added colour around the cake. I then added some glittery stickles to make my icing more fun!

I love it when all the items from a birthday match! So I took my colour scheme and the stamps sets I had used on my invitations to add some fun details to all the rest of my party creations.

I took a circle of white cardstock and stamped my "Happy Birthday" greeting across it; just like my invite. I airbrush a little orange colour over the circle and then passed the circle through my die cutting machine and cut out a five. This of course could be adapted for any number or greeting! I also added some stickles to the five to make is sparkle! I backed it with a scalloped circle of blue cardstock for a fun pop of colour and to also match my colour scheme. I taped a Popsicle stick to the back of the scalloped circle and then also backed that with a matching scallop to hide my tape job.

To create the cupcake wraps, I had a fun birthday themed die cut shape that I used to cut out on my machine. I then stamped multiple cake images across the wrap, coloured them in, masked them and airbrushed the back grounds. I created a few different colours and designs and made them each slightly unique. I added to stickles once again to the icing on all the cake images to match the cupcake label and the invites.

To top off my fun birthday party creations, I created a little goodie bag wrapper. I die cut out a label shape, folded it in half and stamped on both sides using the "Happy Birthday" greeting from the Happy World Jumble stamp set again. I also added a fun "Thanks!" greeting from my Mention It! stamp set. I used it to cover up the staple I used to close the bag and add the goodie topper.

I hope my projects have all inspired you to create something fun for your next birthday party! Thanks for stopping by today!
