Hungry Catepillar Happy Birthday!

June 15, 2014 By Connie | 7 Comments

OK…I just have to brag on my grandson, Carter!  He turned ONE year old yesterday and we attended his first birthday party!  He was SUCH a good boy the entire time!  It is hard to believe a year has gone by since he was born, do you remember?  This is a LONG post…scroll to the bottom to see all the goodies!

 

THEN (June 14, 2013)

Carter

NOW (June 14, 2014)

I love this picture because you can see all 3 of his teeth, and that WILD hair!  And he has such a BIG smile!  lol!

Carter 1st birthday

And here is one of the gifts we got him…he scampered right thru the tunnel the first time!

 

Tunnel small

Birthday theme was “Very Hungry Caterpillar”.  We used the Stampin’ Up! Circle Framelits for the caterpillar, Oval Framelits for the eyes, Triangle Punch for the nose, and Modern Label Punch for the antennas.  The Serif Essentials Dies (retired) for the letters.  He also had a banner that spelled Happy 1st Birthday!

Birthday cupcakes spaced to look like a caterpillar!  And a personal birthday cake for Carter with the number 1!

Table centerpiece with birthday crown, book and “I am 1” banner, plus his newborn photo dressed in a caterpillar suit.

Carter display small

I made this LARGE tag for the bag that held the tunnel and tent…it was too big to wrap!   I free-hand cut the leaf, scored and sponged it.  The apple is the Heart Framelit with part of the Oval Punch cut at the bottom.  The leaves are the retired Blossoms Petals Builder punch.  The caterpillar was punched with 1 & 1 1/4″ Circle Punches.  The “munches” were made with the 7/8″ Scallop Circle Punch.

And here is the matching birthday card I made for him.  Greeting is Sassy Salutations.

That icing is SOOOOO yummy!  He was SO careful with it!

It was such a fun party and special day!  And Carter is such a blessing…love him to pieces!

 

Thanks for letting me brag on my grandson a little bit!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 19 years and had my 18th year Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!

    Wow, what a cutie pie! You did a fantastic job on the card, tag and all those banners. What a nice day for him. He’s adorable.. Thanks for sharing!

    That smile and those eyes…and that very out of control hair – my younger brother had hair like that and we used to ask him (obviously a bit older!) if he combed his hair using a plug socket….he was never happy about that questions…he finally managed to learn how to control it! All of the party decorations are fabulous…love the caterpillar decorations and your ‘hand cut’ leaf…..zowie – he will never remember it but what a fabulous first birthday celebration!!!!!
