Luau/Hello Kitty Birthday Invites

I started working on this project since June but I stopped in the middle of it.  I honestly thought that the birthday party will not push through anymore.  But then things changed and I decided to finish up the invites couple nights ago and it took me 4 nights of no sleep.  Seeing the result though made me really happy.

I'm also trying to save money on the projects since I'm the one who is paying for it.  I used Colorbok cardstock stack that you can get from Walmart for $4.  It maybe cheap but the colors are so vibrant and for me it is one of the best cardstock for cutting using Cricut machine.  I made a total of 50 well detailed Hello Kitty/Luau birthday invites. 

Here, I'm so proud to share it them with you...

50 sets of invites and envies.  What you see in the picture was just half of the total production.

I used 7 different colors for envies.  The colors are just so vibrant!

Also made 7 different colors for invites.

A closer look on the actual invites...

A simple printed insert.  I used MA Sexy and 1942 report fonts.

I used the CTMH Cricut Cartridge Art Philosophy bundle for the labels and CTMH stamps for the sentiment.  I so love the CTMH cartridge. It eliminates the need for you to buy those dies and punches that matches your stamps.  If I were you, I would get hold of one...

That's it for today.  These were all my projects that I haven't posted and/or accomplished the last couple months.  I know I've been MIA for quite awhile but hopefully I'll get back to doing at least one crafting project a week.  

Thank you for stopping by.  Take care.  Until next blog... Have a happy weekend peeps!

Hello Kitty/Luau Birthday Banner

Here's a Hello Kitty/Luau Birthday banner I made for our neighbor's daughter.  She will be celebrating her first birthday in Hawaii. Her mother is a Samoan, she of course wants her daughter to have the Luau birthday theme but the Daddy insisted of Hello Kitty.  This was a test on my creativity so I made my best to incorporate the two themes and hopeful that they would like it.

I tried to tie each banner together the other night but I dont think I will make it easy for them to ship it to Hawaii so I took the ribbon off.  I'm pretty sure they can manage to take care of it on the big day.  So without further ado, I want to share with you now my latest banner:

 I used Hello Kitty images as a spacer between the phrase.

 I used Hello Kitty font.

 Added two different colors of hibiscus to the font.

 There it is, just waiting to be assembled...

Hope they like it and hope you like it too!
