This summer, I am excited to announce several GUEST BLOGGERS that are going to pop by and share holiday and birthday party ideas with you! Our first guest blogger is SHAUNA KRANTZ of CUPCAKE WITH CHARACTER! With Father’s Day coming up, Shauna is sharing a cute way to make Dad’s gift extra-special…he will love the gift bag just as much as the gift itself!  Enjoy these ideas from Shauna…


I found this awesome template on Paper Crave (https://papercrave.com/diy-fathers-day-shirt-tie-gift-boxes/) and couldn’t resist making these for Father’s Day! I created an easy to follow image tutorial (if you are like me, a visual learner) so you and your kids can fill these adorable, handmade gift boxes with goodies for Dad. 
1. Print your template and cut out.
2. I found some fun, double-sided scrapbook paper. Trace your template onto your cardstock paper of choice. Cut out template.
3. Place the original cut out template on top of your cardstock template, so that you can see where you need to score over the dotted lines. If you do not have a scoring board you can always just fold creases. 
4. Using glue (I used hot glue) attach the flap (labeled on original template) to the back.
5. Fold tab A inward and secure tabs B with double-stick tape. 
6. Secure tab C on tabs B with double-stick tape.
7. Crease sides and fold down top. Secure with double-stick tape. 
8. Using glue or tape, attach the tie or bow tie you cut out. 
**TIP** Fill with goodies before securing shut with tape and adding tie or bow tie. 
I hope you enjoyed my picture tutorial! Download your template here (https://papercrave.com/diy-fathers-day-shirt-tie-gift-boxes/). Personal use only. 
Thank you for sharing your tutorial, Shauna!  We look forward to seeing more that you share throughout the summer!  
YOU CAN KEEP UP WITH SHAUNA IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS…

CAMILLE’S FIESTA ~ MEXICAN THEME BIRTHDAY PARTY IDEAS

Celebrating your birthday with a Mexican Fiesta is a sure way to have a great time!  My daughter and several of her friends had a ball with all of the bright colors and (hopefully) vivid memories of a beautiful party day full of fun!  Planning all of the party ideas and details was loads of fun- although we don’t claim to have everything authentically perfect- this is our take on a party that combines Mexican birthday party ideas with a young girl’s likes and wishes!  For instance, we know hedgehogs don’t hail from Mexico- but when she fell in love with a festive-looking hedgehog at a local shop, we decided the hedgehog would make a perfectly fun party favor!  So read on and enjoy- and hopefully you will find an idea or two that you can use for a Mexican-themed party or even a Cinco de Mayo celebration, too- and inspiration to incorporate ideas that make your party perfectly-suited for the birthday child! 

LILLY PULITZER CAKE DECORATING FLAMINGO BIRTHDAY PARTY IDEAS

There is nothing like the bright colors and happy prints of Lilly Pulitzer to make every day feel like a party!  For my daughter’s 12th birthday party, she wanted to decorate cakes~ Lilly-style!  So, in order to decide how to mesh the two, I kept thinking “if Lilly had a cake shop instead of a juice stand”… I have to admit, this was one fun party to plan!  It is a blast to see where ideas go in the hands of a TWEEN!  Enjoy and remember, “…being happy never goes out of style!”. 

LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE PARTY

What began as a simple gesture to introduce my daughter to a wonderful book series has become a special evening ritual for us- reading Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House books!  I must admit, I didn’t realize quite how interesting these books would be to her, but she cannot wait to read all nine in the series.  It was only fitting that her birthday party focus around Little House on the Prairie!  Together, we had a ball planning all of the details of her party that related to the books in some way.  At Camille’s request, we focused on some of her favorite parts of the stories… prairie flowers, covered wagons, tee pees, the colors in the drawings of the books,  and “pretty”…because “Ma” liked things to be pretty!
