Add Custom Flair to your Summer Celebrations

Whether it’s an engagement party, a baby shower, birthday, or a poolside barbecue, the beginning of summer typically marks the start of a new season of celebrations and receptions for family and friends.

For crafting and entertaining enthusiasts, it’s also an opportunity to showcase their personal taste and flair with do-it-yourself homemade décor, cards, and gifts.

“Creative DIY lovers are finding unique ways to share their individual taste and style with beautiful creations for their different celebrations—from customized invitations to party favors,” said Shelli Gardner, CEO and cofounder of crafting and décor company, Stampin’ Up!

Thanks to crafting companies such as Stampin Up!—with their creative DIY kits and coordinating accessories—it’s now easier than ever to design and customize all of the key décor elements for a stunning reception at home.

Gardner recommends you set the tone for the event with personalized and creative handmade invitations by using colour cardstock or Designer Series Paper and accessories.

To create your personalized, colourful party décor, she recommends that you start by choosing your themed stamps, such as the Crazy about You Stamp Set, then choose your paper colours, ink, and embellishments. Stampin’ Up! has fun stamp sets and accessories for any occasion. Once the key elements are selected, you can add creative accents and matching colourful celebration banners.

To show your guests your appreciation after the celebration ends, let them go home with a tasty party favour wrapped in adorable personalized bags or boxes dressed up with your choice of themed tags, stamps, colourful ribbons, and baker’s twine.
