spring printable kits!
I've got a few little happy and whimsical spring kits in my etsy shop to share with you!
1) Just add a few Easter eggs and jelly beans to my Sweet Treat train
and you have an adorable Easter/spring centerpiece! Once Easter is over
you can use your Sweet Treat Train for birthday parties by adding
cupcakes to the cargo cars!
2) My printable Church favor box goes perfectly with the Happy Houses kit so you can make an Easter village for your mantle! You can also use this little church for weddings or baptism parties too!
3) These little Happy House favor boxes can hold candy, favors and gift cards!
4) I created these little whimsical paper bird ornaments to be used as centerpiece decorations for Spring parties, but then while I was working on them I thought they could also be used for Weddings (how cute as a cake topper!), Baby showers (use the pink and blue for a gender reveal party!) or just to add a little whimsy to your home!
Our cat Brian, seems to think that these little birdies also make great cat toys! Here's an Instagram I took of him "helping" during my photo shoot. He decided he really loved these birds and wanted one to play with. I finally gave in and let him have one (after the photo shoot of course!) Follow me on instagram, I'm claudinehellmuth over there :)

paper love blog hop and a giveaway!
I'm excited to be a part of the Paper Love Blog hop!
Ever since I can remember I have loved paper. I have clear memories when I was about 6 or 7 making paper dolls with my friend from down the street - cutting images out of catalogs and drawing new outfits for our dolls.... I also loved the Whitman Punch Out Books - you could make an entire little village just by punching out paper and adding a little tape or glue.
It seemed like magic that something flat could become dimensional adorable and fun to play with too!
Now 33 years later, I design printables for people to download, print and make and it still seems like magic! It is amazing to me that I can design and create something here in Washington DC, it can travel to it's new owner as digital pixels and binary bytes (sometimes as far as Dubai!), they print and cut it out, add a little tape and glue and then suddenly, they've got a cute little retro oven or ice cream truck just waiting to hold their cupcakes!
