A floral and plaid grad party (EBE May release sneak peek!)

Hi there!

Elena here with a girly take on a graduation party, using the new EBE May release stamp sets and dies. Everything you see here will be available for purchase on Sunday, so this is a fun sneak peek!

I love, love, love these new sets! The Plaid Maker set and Mondo Sakura flowers don't look like obvious choices for a graduation party, but I hope you love them together as much as I do.

I started out with a quote on my letterboard - it made me smile!

To create all of the party decor, I stamped a few sheets of plaid. Yes, a few sheets. It sounds daunting, but this set is so forgiving! I can see stamping wrapping paper with it for Christmas - eek! In the meantime, I did a classic black and white check and used it to create cupcake wrappers and little flags.

I also stamped a bunch of the large flower cluster found in Mondo Sakura. It is so gorgeous, isn't it? I put 2 of them together to top the cake,

and one, standing upright, made the perfect and most dramatic cupcake topper.

I wrapped waterbottles with the plaid paper that I stamped, and cut some of the flowers to add just a hint of them, without overwhelming the plaid.

I used the letters found in the Blockwords dies to monogram each water bottle, and placed them onto a tag included in the Parcel box die set.

Speaking of the Parcel box die, I used it to add a gift card to the front of store-bought clear favor boxes. By wrapping the clear boxes in more plaid paper, and adding more floral touches to the fronts of the Parcel boxes, I reinforced my party theme.

These favor boxes are my favorite things on the table by far!

As a last touch, I created a table sign. I wanted to include a few sentiments to show the grad how great she did! The little YAY on the cupcake flags, and GREAT JOB here are just a few easy ways to celebrate your grad!

I hope you like what I created! Thanks for stopping by!
