Hello Kitty Birthday Invitations

Hi, everyone!

My sister asked me to make a birthday invitation for her niece, who's turning 10.  She loves Hello Kitty and will have a Hello Kitty-themed birthday party.

I saw this invitation in Baraka's blog, and I thought this would be perfect.  I changed the colors slightly.  Hello Kitty is adhered to the red band around the card with foam tape.  The red band slides down so that the card can be opened.  The details of the party will be inside.

Pink cardstock (The Paper Company)

White cardstock (The Paper Company)

Red cardstock (The Paper Company)

Black cardstock (The Paper Company)

Cricut cartridge used:  Hello Kitty Greetings

 Cuttlebug folder used:  D'vine Swirls

I also made a coordinating envelope for the invitation:

I hope my sister's niece likes her invitation!

Baby Cards

I have a huge extended family, and it looks like more are on the way.  My cousin's wife is pregnant with their second baby, and then another cousin is pregnant, too.  We don't know the gender of the babies yet, so I made two baby cards, one for each gender, to be safe.

These can be used for baby shower invitations, or for baby shower cards, or cards to give to the moms when the babies arrive.

Here is the card for a baby girl:

Paper is from The Paper Company

White cardstock is from Georgia Pacific (Walmart)

Ribbon is from AC Moore/Michaels

Stamp is from Stampology, and is one of those stamps that you can layer (awesome!)

Inks are Memento London Fog, Angel Pink, Tuxedo Black, and Rich Cocoa

Background paper is embossed with Cuttlebug Seeing Spots embossing folder

Punch used is Fiskars Threading Water

Circle and scallop circle are cut using Mini Monograms

Brads are from Hobby Lobby

And here is the card for a baby boy:
