With a few foam squares and some bling, the flowers look very dimensional.

My god daughter has turned one year old! It is hard to believe it. That time flew by! I looked at many blogs and websites to research Minnie Mouse parties and came up with a multitude I liked. I was able to find a cake that both her mom and I liked, as well as free downloads that others openly shared. As a result, we celebrated last night with family, decked out with Minnie!
I first started with an invitation. I used a free printable and SVG file from Sherry K. Designs (see the file) and cut the head and bow out. I layered it on top of a black card base, pink paper, and fuschia polkadot paper. The personalized label came from The Cutting Cafe and is called the Baby Girl First Birthday Colored Tags/Toppers. The inside invite page is from Catch My Party and was also a free set.

My husband can wrap gifts like no one’s business. Here is one of the gifts he wrapped, using things he swiped from my crafting stash…

We got her a lot of clothes so hubby wrapped each outfit separately and they went into a large gift bag…

Of course I had to make the perfect card to go with the gifts and used the Dress Shaped Card 2 from The Cutting Cafe along with another version of the customize tag used on the invitations …

After looking at a lot of blogs about Minnie Mouse parties, I found a cake I loved at Plus One Blog. Ours looked very close to it.

This week at The Cutting Cafe, we focused on the color green and could use any files we chose. I pulled out some of my tools, like Spellbinders dies and some punches, that I had not used in a while to make birthday cards that showcase a couple of the many printable stamp sets available from the shop. I used the Birthday Fun Printable Stamp Set and the Birthday Greetings Inside and Out Printable Stamp Set.
For the first card, I used both sets. The cake image is from Birthday Fun and the sentiment is from the greetings set.

The second card uses the inside out set. Both files have tons of images to choose from and are great to use.

We are shaking up some fun at The Cutting Cafe this week with a whole new line of shaker cards! There are 13 different versions and you can find them all here! I used the hourglass version to make a 50th birthday card for a friend. Of course I used black and gold for the honor! I kept the card very simple in hopes of making the shaker 50 and the hourglass the focal points.
Here are a few more pictures…
Shaker cards are really fun to make and easy once the intimidation factor wears off. The Cutting Cafe helps you with that also as design team member Tmika did a video tutorial on how to make them which you can find here.
