Zebra Minnie Mouse Banner

We have done plenty of Minnie Mouse Banners in the past, but this one was a little different than our normal hot pink one because Jessica ONLY wanted zebra. Usually we use all different black and white patterened papers. But when you are having a zebra and hot pink Minnie Mouse first birthday, this is what you MUST have to complete the look!

We tied it with our usual hot pink and black zebra print ribbon and white tulle!

We accented the age a little more by putting it on a black scallop instead of another hot pink one.

And of course the Minnie sillouttes have zebra print bows!

Girly Sailor invites!

 

A little girl is turning 6 and she is having an under the sea themed party! :) So her mama asked us to put together our sailor invitation with some adorable color modifications!

 

Since she is a girl, our original navy, light blue and orange theme didn't really go....... so she asked for pink, light blue and light green!

 

So here is what we came up with!

 

SO CUTE, right??? I was literally grinning ear to ear making these. Even my husband looked over while we were both sitting our at dining room table as I worked on them and remarked how adorable they were. :)

And the inside! We can make the wording say anything! :)

The beauty is in the simplicity



 

 

We recently had a mama ask us for our butterfly banner, but wanted it to be a little more like....... "simple elegance" So we were happy to take on that challenge! :)

 



So instead of there being a patterned wing, we stuck with a solid light pink and instead of having four to five different patterned papers as the background of the scallops, we alternated medium and light pink!

Finally, instead of the smiling cupcakes, we used flowers to be the spacers between the words. :)

princess!

Our three time customer, Erin in Delaware recently asked if we could make a princess bedroom sign for her daughter, Isabelle.

She asked for pink and purple and a personalized princess. She has dark hair and dark eyes so we made the princess to have the same attributes! :)



We added an adorable unicorn and popped it off the page flying over the castle.

We also added gems on the grown and her wand! :)

So cute!!! Loving all of the pink and purple! :) Pin It Now!

You are invited to a butterfly event!

This past Friday night, I told my husband that at midnight I was calling it. No matter what messages come in, if it is after midnight, I will respond in the morning because I was going to get some sleep!  Well, sure enough at 11:58 my etsy app on my iPhone popped up with a conversation from a new client who loved our Lilly Pultizer inspired butterfly banner and asked us to do some invitation proofs for her that would match!

So............ I'm a little OBSESSED with our Etsy store so I of course couldn't sleep all night because I was coming up with all of these ideas of how we could make them! Then Rachel and I met first thing in the morning at Michaels to discuss and plan.

Well, without further ado..... here it is!!

We did our most popular tri-fold style invitation with the matching plaid butterfly on the front and  have the first initial of the child who is having the party. We then used this beautiful shimmery white paper as the background to the butterfly. We originally wanted to use a patterned paper, but the butterfly is supposed to be the focal point and the patterns were taking away from it. We tried a lot of different combinations, but once we tried the shimmery paper,  we fell in love!

Here is a closeup of our cute little friend!

Spring Has Sprung!

It seems that the cuteness is just flowing through our shop these days!! What a cute springtime birthday themed design! Hot Pink and Lime Green colors! Butterflies on the ends and cupcakes between the words!

We made this for a little girl named Katharine's first birthday!!! Katharine's Mommy, a friend of Mama Reina's loved two of our other banners we did for Mary and Ellie so our inspiration came from those two banners plus a requested twist of Lilly Pulitzer!

See the "Lilly Pulitzer" banner on Etsy here

This is one of our more fancy and elaborate  banners! We used Hot Pink scallops with four different kinds of patterned paper. Then we put Hot Pink letters shadowed with Lime Green paper. We made the letters "pop" so they have a 3-D affect! Then we used Lime Green ribbon and White Tulle! So Cute!!!!!

We also made matching cupcake toppers to go with this banner!

Happy 1st Birthday, little Katharine and thanks to her mama for choosing R&R Creations! :) Pin It Now!

Under the sea centerpiece!

So this little mermaid is my absolute obsession these days!! My list of "MUST DO" parties for Natalie's birthdays definitely includes a mermaid party! Hopefully she agrees with me as she gets older and has a say in it! haha!

Anyway, let's just say there was quite a bit of squealing and jumping up and down in the house of R&R when we finished these two beauties! Here is the mini mermaid/under the sea centerpiece:

Check this mini centerpiece out on etsy here

This one is perfect if you are looking for a cute extra for your party. What a wonderful focal point on a table or next to the guest book! Plus it looks great in combination with the bigger one in the middle and another mini on the other side! This one includes the personalized sparkly mermaid that was featured in the mermaid banner, the child's initial and age, an underwater friend of your choice and some added seaweed! TOO CUTE!

Next up is the FULL size centerpiece! Now this one is just too darling for words! I rarely share much about our etsy shop on my facebook account because I don't want to overload people, but this one DID get shared, because I just couldn't help myself! :) Featured are the personalized sparkly mermaid with jeweled embellishments, the child's age, a personalized seashell, three underwater friends and seaweed! What an adorable underwater scene!

As with everything we do, colors and even the whole concept can be changed to suit your indivisual needs. We are always looking for new ideas and ways to do things so crafters, please share with us what you have done with a mermaid theme and readers, please send us a challenge! :)

DIY Time

So I have a really good friend, Emily who recently had a birthday. She is  a classy chica who loves Lilly Pulitzer, the color pink, her scotty dog Oliver and of course spoiling my daughter Natalie rotten. :)

Here is a cute little moment of Natalie and her Aunty Emily when she was only 4 months old. (feeling the gut twisting reality of how fast time is going......)



Since it was her birthday, I wanted to make sure she got an extra special card from our family as she has been SO good to us. Babysitting Natalie so that the hubby and I can get a much needed date night and of course spoiling miss Natalie with lots of adorable clothes and accessories. (got to start 'em young, right??)





ANYWAY........ So here is the card I came up with for her:

The bright pink is a 4" X 12" piece of paper folded in at the 3 and 9 inch marks to create this adorable tri-fold look. (I feel like I'm kind of obsessed with this style right now!) Then I cut the "E" out at 2.5 inches tall and the little scotty out at 3 inches wide. I made all of this in the 'Making the Cut' Software, so no cricut cartidge to reference here. I shadowed the "E" with lime green at .02 inches and then popped the E and the scotty dog off the page with a bunch of 3D dots to give it an extra rich effect.

Then finished it off with a cute little "Happy Birthday" stamp in navy blue.

It is so easy to make something extra personalized for a friend or loved one, so why not do it instead of buying a premade card at the store? I promise it will be MUCH more fun and if you are like us and have babies/toddlers......... any excuse NOT to go to store is one I am happy to take! :)

Diamonds are a girl's best friend

I recently received some cute little packages for baby Natalie from my aunts and grandmother and have been meaning to sit down and write them a thank you note. So as I was going through my April calendar and making my list of  cards to purchase, I had a smack myself in the forehead moment...... duh! I can make them myself and they will be SO much cuter and more personalized than anything I would buy at any store.

Meanwhile, I have been wanting to make a few of these critters for a while now, but just haven't made the time so this was my perfect opportunity!

I went a little crazy making them and I will feature others in future posts, but today I wanted to focus on these adorable little gals!

Ahhh! So cute, right??? I added little gem stones as the cheeks for the bumble bee and a bigger one for the little bird's "hair" accessory.These pictures don't even do them justice!

These can be used for anything! Cupcake toppers, invitations, thank yous, birthday cards, shower cards, or even the end caps for a banner! For example "Baby Shower" I just LOVE the possibilities!

Here is an example of the adorable thank yous that can be made! I didn't glue them down because I want the intended recipients to be the first to see their actual cards.... so no spoil alerts! :)

Check back for the finished products and to  meet their other critter friends! :)

Our youngest beauty!

Our youngest little beauty in our playgroup is turning 1! We just can't believe it! It is amazing how fast this year is going by! When we first met Ellie, she was only two months old. Here she is with her mama! So sweet....

Emily, Ellie's mommy decided on a flower theme to celebreate her baby girl's spring birthday. We were charged with making a flower themed birthday banner using the colors hot pink, yellow and kelly green.

Here is what we came up with! An adorable cupcake, spring bloom banner!

 

We used this beautiful and detailed design as the base in the colors Emily asked for and then used light pink paper in a flower, polka dot and striped pattern for the second letter layer. We then added four cupcakes to break apart the words, "Happy Birthday Ellie" and of course finished it off with lots of adorable matching ribbon!!

We are SO excited about the way that this banner turned out!  Emily & Ellie got a preview of it today at play group and they seemed really excited about it too! :)

That concludes our playgroup's first birthdays!! Whew! On to the world of toddlers for this group--It's going to get interesting! :)

R&R Creations would like to send out a very special happy 1st birthday shout out to our little princess, Ellie!
