But seriously, I really do love Craftgawker because I've found so many great blogs through them: Alana Jones-Mann, The House That Lars Built, Minted Strawberry...the list goes on and on - trust me, the bookmarks on my iPad will agree.
Anyways - one of the coolest things I saw was this Birthday Cake Care Package from The House That Lars Built. So cute!

It also contained a link to the cutest, scariest DIY I'd love to try: the Cake Postcard from She Knows. I say it's scary because there's sponge cutting and caulk "frosting" involved.

Pretty awesome, huh?! Alana Jones-Mann took it another step further by using that same tutorial to make business cards! WHAT?!?!?

Okay, if that isn't cute overload, I don't know what is (except, maybe, Cute Overload).
I didn't have any neat pie boxes already made like Brittany did at THTLB but I did find a few tutorials on making your very own with Martha Stewart and Lavender's Blue! Thanks, Internet! :)
I took advantage of my extremely long render times and assembled some boxes for a care package I'm putting together. Granted, it's super late to the recipient but I think he'll be okay with that. Why did it take me so long? I have no idea! Usually, I'm on top of this birthday thing! Ugh - I've been slipping...
Bonus - the envelope for the Birthday Party Kit holds Instax Mini prints PERFECTLY! I had just enough glue to glue down the "Happy birthday" wedge to the inside of the blue slice but I had to tape the other cake slices together. Not as pretty as I would like but still cute, I think! Now, I get to take them home and fill them with goodies (and make a few more!) I'll do a big reveal once I know the recipient has received it :)
Hope you're having an awesome week!
