It is Stampin’ Addicts third birthday and we are throwing a party! Not just one party, but many parties — it’s a blog hop featuring all different types of parties. I am happy to start you off here with Stop #1 for a Baby Shower. (If you just came from the 4th of July Party at Krystal’s blog or the Sesame Street Party at Kim’s blog, don’t worry, we all link in a circle!) I decided to coordinate my projects with three colors — Blushing Bride, Pear Pizzazz, and So Saffron. Just so you know, Blushing Bride and Pear Pizzazz are two of the In Colors that will be retiring at the end of May. If you love them, then stock up now!

The first thing any party needs is an invitation, of course, so that is my first project for you. It’s kind of lumpy to mail, but those mini clothespins are just too cute!

Stamps: Baby Bundle, Baby Tees Jumbo Wheel
Ink: Basic Gray, Pear Pizzazz, Blushing Bride
Paper: Blushing Bride, Pear Pizzazz, So Saffron, Whisper White
Other: Mini Clothes Pins, Lucky Limeade Baker’s Twine

What’s a party without yummy treats? These cupcake toppers were quick and easy to make, and help carry the theme through nicely.

Stamps: Baby Bundle
Ink: StazOn Jet Black, Blushing Bride, Pear Pizzazz, So Saffron, Crumb Cake
Paper: Blushing Bride, Pear Pizzazz, Whisper White
Other: 1″ Circle Punch, 1 1/4″ Circle Punch, Scallop Circle Punch, bamboo skewers

Of course you also need a party favor for the guests to take home. This cute little box was super easy to make on the Simply Scored, and can be filled with candy or any other little goodies for the guests. I love how perfectly the Packed for Baby stamp works on the top!

Finally, after any party with gifts, you need thank you notes. What could be cuter than a thank you note shaped like a onesie! Usually I would put brads on the bottom, but I left them off in order to mail them more easily.
