Over the last week, we have been featuring our latest \u00a0Bridesmaids themed Parisian “Girls Night In” photo shoot<\/strong> for the launch of Bridesmaids (the movie) exclusively at Target<\/em>.\u00a0 (9.20.11!)<\/dt>\n
<\/dt>\n
We get a lot of questions on how to use our printable packages<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0 While we do include a full set of instructions with all of our printable packages, we know that “show and tell” is sometimes more helpful!<\/dt>\n
<\/dt>\n
Today we want to show you how to use some of our Bridesmaids<\/em> Printable Files.\u00a0 This 33 page set of Parisian themed printable graphic designs will be available for free download with an access code and url that is inside Bridesmaids the movie (DVD and Blu-Ray) exclusively at Target.<\/a><\/dt>\n
<\/dt>\n
We chose a select few printable\u00a0pages from the collection to print\/cut and assemble.\u00a0 We include recommendations for paper types as well.<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n
$\"Printable$ <\/a>
Printable Files on Paper<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
To begin with, we start by printing the files from your home computer or local printer.<\/p>\n
Printing Mediums:<\/strong> We like to use photopaper to print the majority of our pages because it gives a professional look, the color is really saturated and beautiful.\u00a0 Also, it is waterproof!
\nWhen we need an adhesive backing, we use onlinelabels.com glossy inkjet labels.\u00a0 (Full sheet 8.5×11 of label paper).\u00a0 It looks just like the photopaper but it sticks!<\/p>\n
2″ Party Logos:<\/strong>
\nWe are going to start with the 2″ party logos.\u00a0 We recommend using 2″ hand-lever craft punches for circles and scallops.\u00a0 For straight edges, we use paper trimmers.<\/p>\n
$\"Cutting$ <\/a>
Cutting Party Logos<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
A tip when using punches, is to turn the punch upside down<\/em> so you can center your circle on the square logo correctly.<\/p>\n
$\"Cut$ <\/a>
Cut Party Logos<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Square logos<\/strong> can be used for on several items to embellish party details.\u00a0 Sometimes we use them to make hang-tags (see below).<\/p>\n
They can be printed on 8.5″ x 11″ label paper for stickers as well (we love \u00a0onlinelabels.com) <\/a>.\u00a0 You can also tape them onto favor treats\/favors, containers and more.<\/p>\n
$\"Square$ <\/a>
Square Party Logos<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
To make a hang-tag, use a small hole punch, and tie on ribbon.\u00a0 So cute and versatile!<\/p>\n
Next we want to show you how to make a couple different cupcake toppers.<\/em><\/p>\n
You can use either lollipop sticks, tooth picks or even wooden skewers if you need some height!<\/p>\n
Take your chosen stick, and punched party logo and tape together – it’s a piece of cake!<\/p>\n
$\"Cupcake$ <\/a>

You can also make a fancier version<\/em> of cupcake toppers – You will need to make a\u00a0fan ruffle (you can review how to make\u00a0the fan ruffle here<\/a>)<\/dt>\n
Select one of your punched party logos, and tape together with selected stick.<\/dt>\n

$\"Cupcake$ <\/a>

See below for our Bridesmaids<\/em> version….\u00a0 (we used a Ruffle Cupcake Topper and also taped on a Flat Party Label to give it extra embellishments)<\/p>\n

To make our Girls Night<\/em> Banner, we used the fan ruffle effect, just on a larger scale (with tissue paper).<\/p>\n
We print the pages on photopaper, cut out each letter and taped that scalloped frame to each ruffle.\u00a0 We\u00a0cut\u00a0slits on each (left\/right) side of\u00a0every letter, and then strung fishing line through the letters.<\/p>\n
$\"Bridesmaid$ <\/a>

Flat Party Labels:<\/strong>\u00a0 Once you print your page (on either cardstock, photopaper or label sheets), you will need to hand-cut along the dotted lines\u00a0with scissors.\u00a0 We chose to use photopaper for this project.<\/p>\n
You can simply tape them on or you can use ribbon to tie them onto bottles, decanters, and more.<\/p>\n
To use ribbon, we carefully slice top and bottom of the label with an exacto knife.<\/p>\n
$\"Flat$ <\/a>
Flat Party Labels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Once slices are made, insert ribbon through the top slit, and then push back through the bottom slit.<\/p>\n
Once ribbon is placed, trim ribbon edges.<\/p>\n
$\"Flat$ <\/a>
Flat Party Labels with Ribbon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
If you want to do a simpler version, just tape them on to the ribbon – it works just as well!<\/p>\n
$\"Bridesmaid$ <\/a>

Drink Wraps:\u00a0<\/strong> Print the sheets on 8.5×11 label paper or photopaper.\u00a0 Some people print on cardstock, and that is fine but we recommend using a laser jet printer to ensure no ink bleed.\u00a0 First you will want to cut them with a paper trimmer or hand-cut with scissors.<\/p>\n
Next peel off your water bottle label or soda bottle label (note if using soda bottles, soak in hot soapy water to remove labels easily).<\/p>\n
Once labels are removed, simply tape on – again, we use water-proof photo paper.\u00a0 (You can use other types of paper, and laser printers work best to prevent water runs if printing on non-waterproof paper)<\/p>\n
$\"Drink$ <\/a>

See below for Bridesmaids<\/em> drink wraps on pink lemonade\u00a0bottles.<\/p>\n

The fun thing about our designs is that they really are quite versatile<\/em> if you want to get creative.<\/p>\n
For instance, you can use the drink wrap as a napkin wrap.\u00a0 Choose your napkin\u00a0& silverware… trim your drink wrap label…. and tape together in the back.\u00a0 You can use these for cylindrical containers, condiment containers and more!<\/p>\n
$\"Drink$ <\/a>

Party Flags:<\/strong> These are always a great accent.\u00a0 They can be used as toothpick toppers (the most common use), but they can be turned into other accents as well.\u00a0 We used them for wine glass embellishments, and also for lipgloss tags.<\/p>\n
Once you print & cut them out (on photo paper or 8.5″x11″ full sheets of unscored label paper), you can stick them together with double-sided tape or use the adhesive backing.\u00a0 Using label paper is sometimes a little tricky to line up the two sides of the flag to close shut, but that works as well.<\/p>\n
