This barely counts as a tutorial, but it does count as one of our favorite tools of ALL TIME. Rachel told me at least three times to buy the Martha Stewart Scoring Board and Envelope Tool before I finally listened and purchased my own. Now I find myself reaching for it over and over again. By sliding a food label or favor tag into the right angle of the scoring board, I can easily line up the cardstock and find the middle. As you can see in the top photo, there are many lines across the board so it's easy to find the center of any tag. One swipe of the bone folder and the tag is perfectly scored for an easy fold.

I haven't used it to make an envelope yet even though the instructions are included from Martha. You could get totally crazy and make your own envelope and then line it too. (Or you could eat a cupcake instead. That's more likely around here!)Cardstock can be tricky to fold neatly. It can break or crack across the top of the fold, so this actually is an inexpensive tool to make assembly faster and cleaner. Line up, score, fold, and attach to your perfect party favors.

PS. Should we list this party in the shop? It's one of our absolute favorites from this spring. We love custom orders like this!

We're just hopping by with a free Easter printable for you! These sweet little tags are perfect for Easter treats for you and all your bunny friends. You can download them here and use them to celebrate. Twelve simple tags with water color backgrounds, and the friendliest bunny we ever saw.
We loved that the pastel colors in the Easter M&Ms matched the tags so perfectly. The cookies are giant M&M chocolate chip gems we found a couple weeks ago and couldn't wait to try for ourselves. (They are so good and definitely worth making giant!) The download is free for you to use. We just ask that you follow us on Instagram or like us on Facebook. If you're already doing those kind things, consider these tags our thank you. Happy Easter!

PS. All of our tags we punch with this 2" EK Success punch from Amazon. Literally thousands of punches, and ours are both going strong still! We have the "old package" style, but that new style sure looks nifty too!

1. Buy ice. You will always need ice.
2. Lay all the serving plates out earlier in the day or the night before so you can plan where everything goes and be sure it's clean and ready.
3. Put a new trash bag in the trash can and have another one nearby. If guests go to throw something away and there's no room in the trash can, party fail. You'll have more clean-up later! And while you're putting out that extra trash bag, put an extra roll of toilet paper in a super accessible place.
4. Try to get as close to as an empty dishwasher as possible. This can take a little more planning, but it speeds up clean-up on the other side. And you'll be thankful.
5. Get your camera out. A party without pictures isn't really a party!
