DIY Party Circles - Butterfly Party

This butterfly themed invitation has been one of our best sellers in our Etsy Shop to date, so I decided to make coordinating Party Circles to go with the invitation. As I've mentioned before, I LOVE Party Circles because there are just so many uses for them! Check it out:

straw toppers - print out and punch a hole top & bottom

print on sticker paper and put on favor bags

accent your plastic cups

cut coordinating color card stock to wrap around a drink bottle...stick your sticker in the middle

again, cut about a 2x4 piece of card stock, wrap around the napkin/utensils and accent with your butterfly sticker

cupcake toppers!

There are so many more uses for these simple little circles! And what is so nice about the DIY party circles is that they are not too over-whelming of a project to take on for those that may not feel as crafty or have the time, but still want that coordinated look at their party. You don't need to be a "Martha" or have fancy craft supplies either. The materials needed simply depend on the extent of where and how you want to accent your party with the circles. The DIY package in our shop allows you the creativity to print them out as many times as you want!

We'd love to see all the different ways you use the Party Circles at your next event - so please share any photos with us at 3paperdolls@gmail.com

Ice Cream Cupcakes

Want a really easy and fun activity to do with the little ones? Ice Cream Cupcakes.

For my birthday, I brought in "naked" cupcakes to work for my kids to decorate. We were going to use the usual icing, but at the last minute (perhaps a Freudian craving?!) I decided to use ice cream instead. This was a lot of fun for the children to participate in. Picking up the tiny sprinkles (one boy cleverly put every other one in his mouth!) was an excellent fine motor task they surely didn't get tired of. Spraying the whipped cream on top of the cupcake was a definite crowd pleaser and got a lot of smiles as it shot out! And of course, the best part was eating the cupcakes. For some, the sprinkles they painstakingly put on top proved to be a little of a sensory/tactile speed bump in enjoying their creation, but it was good lesson in texture and once they got past them, the ice cream and cake was fully enjoyed.

The teachers also got a nice little mid-morning treat as well :)

Filled with thanks

After such a great Valentine/Birthday weekend I've been feeling so thankful for the great friends and family in my life. So, since I have some thank you cards to send out I decided to make some printable thank you note cards to give as a gift to anyone interested. It's recommended to open the pdf files in Adobe Reader (a free download if you don't already have it) and print out on white card stock.

A simple "thank you" can go a long way to brighten someone's day ...

:) enjoy!

Introducing our Printable Party Line!

We are very excited to introduce the 3paperdoll Printable Party line! It's simple...you just need a few basics: a printer, some scissors/paper cutter, and some glue/tape...then you are well on your way to Party Time!

It's always been a "thing" of mine to theme it up any chance I get (usually my kid's birthday parties)...so I figured it would be a fun thing for all you DIY crafty people out there to create a crafty party in no time with little hassle. We have taken the hard part out and left the fun stuff in to help create an adorable party for you and your guests to enjoy.

Valentine's Day just so happens to be one of my favorite holidays :) So what better time than now to offer a fun freebie for you to play with?! This Valentine's Day Printable Party will be emailed to you in PDF format (so you'll need to download Adobe Reader first). I was actually inspired to do this design for my son's Valentine's Day Party in school...but I'm thinking I just may be sprinkling a few elements from this Party and share it with some special people at my work and family...

The Party Circles are my absolute favorite because they are the most versatile and can be used creatively just about ANYWHERE!

So, check the V-day Printable Party out...get inspired, and if you want us to email you the FREE files for your own personal use (print as many times as you want!) then:

Have fun and share the *love*!
