You Are In-Bited....

I spent today making invitations for my daughter's birthday party.  She will be turning 9 on the 17th.  This year she wants a Monster High birthday party.  So of course I decided to make invitations. I went online and found coloring pages and other Monster High printables. Then after printing everything out today I sat down and created the invitations that we needed.


I made two different invites. One pink and black with Draculara on it and the other blue and black with Frankie Stein on it.  For both invitations I started with a black card base. I cut a piece of black dotted patterned paper and backed it in either pink or blue card stock.  I added a piece of Monster High digital patterned paper that I found online to the bottom of the cards.  I added a piece of glitter ribbon above the Monster High paper.  Each of the images are a coloring page that I found online. Instead of coloring the images by hand I colored them in a paint program on the computer.  I cut and backed them in black and then again in either pink or blue card stock.  I printed out a monster high banner that I added the words "You are in-bited" to and cut it completely out.  I added it to the invitation using foam dots.  I didn't take a photo of it but on the inside I added the information for the party that I had printed out on white card stock and backed in either pink or blue card stock.

Pastel Christmas

It's time for another challenge over at 2 Sister's Challenges.  This week we are being sponsored by the Stitchy Bear Stamps Store.  The challenge is to create a project using the theme of Pastel Christmas.

To create the card I started with a pastel blue card base. I punched a strip of white card stock using an eyelet lace border punch. I added a piece of blue glitter ribbon tape across the top of the strip of white card stock.  I colored the image, Ice Princess, using crayola and prisma color pencils. I backed the image in pastel blue card stock and then again in white card stock.  I punched snowflakes out of white card stock and mini snowflakes out of blue card stock and layered them. I added diamond stickles to the snowflakes and to the image. I added blue rhinestones to the center of each snowflake and to the center of the head band.  I added two mini clear rhinestones to the bottom of the ribbon on her dress.
