to a Woodland Party! And to the Release Review for Clear and Simple Stamps! With this bimonthly release, we had SO many fun new sets! We are having a blog hop today to continue sharing all that is available for the January/February Release! There is a party going on today, so I hope you will stay around and hop with us!
I have created a set of invites and some matching cupcake toppers using a couple of the new Critter sets. Here is my party project...
I have some pictures to share to show you just how easy these invites are to make! You need a few supplies first:
Kraft Cardstock
If you want to make the cupcakes and Critter decorations, you need these supplies:
For the invitations I took 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" pieces of kraft cardstock. I stamped You're Invited on the top of each card first, making these in assembly line style. Next, I laid out DATE, TIME, PLACE, and RSVP so I could see right where they needed to go...
I took a clear block and put it right down on top of the stamps, so each time they would stamp the same...
Here is a picture of my assembly line. I put each stamp on a different block, laid everything out to keep it going.
A quick tip for making the lines, I used a line stamp from Tweet Notes I. I added a sticky note to the side of the cardstock to mask off and make a clean edge. This made the stamping super easy and fast. Much easier than drawing lines with a ruler!
Here is a picture of my 6 invites after I stamped the little critter up in the corner. I colored them in with Prismas and OMS. (And I just realized I didn't get a picture of that!)
Here are those cupcake toppers. My disclaimer here....by no means am I a Copic artist. I have come to the realization that I don't have to make everything look perfectly blended. A good solid color on the image never hurts! :) Although I did try tome on the fox and the owl...that is why they are in the back! hehe!
(and yes I did make my own cupcakes and frosting! YUM!)
Here is another picture of the completed invite...
And the set...
I hope you like my little party! Now I am pretty sure the other DT girls are going to have some fabulous creations today! I can't wait to see them!
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
