I’ve compiled a list of gift ideas for young artists or kids who are all about arts and crafts. From art supplies to crafting and textile arts, there are lots of options out there that don’t have to cost a ton.
Jaxon's 6th Birthday
Jaxon had an awesome garbage truck themed party for this 6th birthday. His mommy JoAnna and I worked on some fun printed items for his big day. We started with basic green garbage trucks because they are pretty common, but then Jaxon asked his mom to ask me to change them to red, because that’s what the garbage trucks look like in his neighborhood.
Custom invitation:
After the invitations were printed and sent, Jaxon had another request for the red garbage truck: could I add the grabbing-arm that is on the side of the trucks. So I made it holding the number six for the favor labels, welcome sign, and t-shirt graphic.
I LOVE the mini trash can favors!!

Happy, happy birthday Jaxon!!
Ian's 1st Birthday
For his 1st birthday, Ian wanted a monster struck theme and his mommy, Syrita had his party at a children’s art studio. So, what to do? Create an invitation with both monster trucks AND art!
I love how it turned out!
Happy birthday Ian! I hope your party was a blast!
No-Sew Fleece Blanket; a Toy-Free Birthday Gift
Juliana's 5th Birthday
Juliana had a sweet party at a petting zoo for her 5th birthday. Her mom, Kelly really didn’t want to do a cowgirl or a farm theme, so we created this cute invitation with lots of farm animals and a lovely photo of the birthday girl herself.
I hope your party was lots of fun Juliana, happy birthday!
Aubrey's 7th Birthday
When Jamie was planning her daughter’s 7th birthday party, she wanted a Wonder Woman theme, but Jamie wasn’t in love with the designs she was seeing at her local party store. She and I chatted about custom options, but I don’t have a license to use logos and artwork from Wonder Woman, so we created this Wonder Woman-inspired birthday invitation with a comic book vibe and I really love how it turned out!
Happy happy birthday Aubrey!
Smith's 3rd Birthday
Smith turned three this spring and his mommy, Jessica threw him a dinosaur-themed party for the big day. We went with lime green, yellow, and shades of blue for his custom birthday items. Jessica was gracious enough to send me a few photos from his party too, check it out!
