Spring – Short Stop Designs

Bunny Banner Printable + Tutorial

April 14, 2017

I know that Easter is 2 days away, and this is a little last minute for Easter, but this project is also great for baby showers and nurseries! So pin this one for later.

I love how this bunny banner turned out, and it was so fun to put together. I will be honest, it is a little tedious with all of the paper flowers I made, but the end result looks whimsical and makes a great decoration for Easter, baby shower, or nursery! Here is what you’re going to need:

Materials:

White Cardstock + Bunny Banner Printable

Gold Cardstock (1 is plenty!)

Colored Cardstock + Paper Flowers (Check out these tutorials)

Glue + Hot Glue Gun

String + Tape

Optional: Tiny pearls for extra embellishment for your flowers found at your local craft store.

The very first thing I did was make all of my flowers. My flowers are smaller than many of the tutorials I found, and one way you can make the flowers smaller on some of the templates is to reduce the percentage on the Print Window that pops up before you print. Or, if you have a Cricut, you can adjust the size there with your file.

Print out your Bunny Printable on white cardstock. You will see on the printable there is an ear (it prints on every page) for you to trace on the back of the Gold Cardstock. After you’ve cut out the center of the ears from the gold cardstock, glue them in the middle of the ears as pictured above.

Then, hot glue the flowers and position them the at the top of the bunny’s head. Add additional embellishments in the middle of the flowers. String them together, hang it up and admire your work!

Spring Baby Shower + Free Printables

April 28, 2015

Last weekend I threw a baby shower for my friend, Stephany, who’s having her first baby! I’ve had so much the last couple of weeks channeling my girly side and planning this baby shower, since most of the stuff I do is for my boys. We had fun eating, smelling “poopy” diapers, tasting baby food, avoiding the word “baby” and seeing how much the daddy-to-be knew about babies. It was the perfect way to get the mommy-to-be excited about her baby!

Today, I’m also sharing the printables I used for this party and hope that it will help you plan your next baby shower. If you haven’t played any of these games, you should definitely consider them at the next shower you host!

This game was a little difficult, but made the party a little more interesting! “Daddy Knows Best” – download here

For this game, I recorded the Daddy-to-be’s answers and showed the video at the baby shower. (I have to give credit to my MIL for this idea).

It was so much fun, and I’m so excited for Stephany and Josh!

“Hello Beautiful Spring” Free Printable

March 9, 2015

Are you still adjusting to Daylight Savings time? I might be the only one, but I actually get excited about Daylight Savings time whether it’s “springing forward” or “falling back.” I’m a huge fan of having longer days so that we can have family walks after dinner or go to the playground if my kids are going crazy at the end of the day.

As Daylight Savings beings, that just means we’re that much closer to Spring! With that being said, I created these “Hello Beautiful Spring” printables in 3 different sizes for each color. Hope you love them as much as I do!
