Party Idea: A Barnyard Birthday Party

AllThree

Every little boy needs to feel special on his birthday, and with the help of May Arts Ribbon and Stampendous products, you can turn a regular birthday party into a full out fantastic barnyard picnic! My little nephew turns one shortly and my sister has enlisted my help with decorations for the big day. I’ll show you a few quick and inexpensive projects that will really bring the barnyard theme together.

Supplies

To make the majority of the projects today, you just need a few supplies! Grab the uber cute Cowlik Birthday stamp set from Stampendous, May Arts wide Wired Burlap Ribbon and paper Natural Raffia, a circle punch, ink and cardstock.

Help your guests feel welcome and special with custom place cards!

After stamping the fun greeting and the guests’ names onto cardstock, I punched each into a circle and then cut burlap into 4 inch sections.

Finally, I threaded about a five inch length of raffia through the cardstock and burlap and tied it off. Since the burlap is pre-wired, I simply folded them in half to stand upright.

CupcakeTopper1

Another cute and quick idea to carry out the barnyard theme was to create these adorable cupcake toppers with the help of a few toothpicks.

I stamped and colored the cute sheep (and mice images, too, not pictured!) included in the stamp set and then punched each into a circle. I also punched enough matching blank circles as well.

I then ran glue on the perimeter of the backside circles, leaving about a 1/8 inch area without glue. I adhered a stamped circle and a blank circle together and inserted the toothpick in between. After allowing them to dry, I tied a short piece of raffia to each and they were ready to stick into each frosted cupcake.

Jar

For a touch of color and whimsy, I decorated a mason jar with wrapped raffia and a stamped and colored cupcake tag. A number of jars will be filled with daisies and used as a tabletop centerpiece and a few placed throughout the venue.

Card

I created a cute little card for the birthday boy himself that coordinated with the décor and theme of the party too!

Card11

I started with a trimmed piece of chipboard (aka-cereal box) and wrapped it with the raffia.

Then I stamped the cutie pie cow image with permanent ink onto the front and also stamped, colored and fussy cut one from cardstock. I adhered the cut cow onto the raffia and then finished the card with some coordinating patterned  paper.

The possibilities to carry out this theme, with only a few select May Arts Ribbon and Stampendous, products are endless! I think the guests to the party will feel welcome and be ready for a hayride! It was super fun to pair the two and to know that May Arts Store has such a wide variety of ribbon products to work with any kind of stamp set is really fantastic. The possibilities are endless!
