My friend Tami asked me a few weeks ago and asked if I could help her make some things for her daughters birthday, party favor bags and invitations. So I planned them all out and we got together and made them on Sunday, the birthday girl helped too! They turned out so cute!
This is the party favor box. There was one change to this box for the final product, the star was attached with card stock here, but we changed that and it is now sticking up with black wire. We curled it, much cuter, but I did not get a picture of it after.
Here is the RECIPE:
Stamps: Star is from: A Little Somethin', Crown is from: Seriously Sassy (both sets are retired)
Ink: Pink Passion and Basic Black - Craft for star, marker for detail on crown.
Paper: Basic Black, Pink Passion, Whisper White, Night and Day DSP (retired)
Accessories: Pink Square Rhinestone brad, black brad, black chunky glitter, dimensional, White Shimmer paint (mixed with rubbing alcohol to make shimmer spray, sprayed on box), black embossing powder.
Tools: Big Shot, Fancy Favor XL Die, scissors, Boho Blossom punch, brayer (brayered Night and Day DSP with Pink Passion to make it Pink and Black), Crystal Effects, 1/8" circle punch, paper piercer, tombow glue, sticky strip.
And now for the invitations!
Tami sent me a picture of an invite they really liked and asked me to make something similar. The original card had a zebra print background (don't you think Stampin' Up! needs a background stamp like that!!!!!). So, I tried doing a background with marbles and re-inker, it was too dark. Then I tried the brayer wrapped with rubber bands and I really liked how that came out!!!
I know, they ROCK! We did get a little bored with the Pink Passion marker about 6 cards in, but it is much funner to make together!
I was trying to capture the Shimmer paint sprayed on the background, you can see it if you double click on this picture to make it bigger.

Very cute, thanks for the idea. My daughter is having a birthday party next Friday and I think I may have to make the favor box!
