Welcome Stampin' Friends!
Have you ever met Chococat?
He is a cat in the Hello Kitty line and has been around since 1996. Well, somehow my youngest daughter is taken with this little guy and asked for a Chococat birthday party. Little did I realize what a challenge that would be. There is not much of him out there, so when it came time to make the invitations I struggled. I was a little late in getting them out, that never happens to you does it? Because of these two factors I made a simple invite...
His head, phew, I tried so many things! So, let me tell you how I did this, incase you are ever in the same situation and need to make a chococat invitation or chococat head.
I found this Chococat color sheet...
Before printing it out I reduced the size to 80%. Then I cut out his head and used it as a template, tracing it onto black card stock. I then cut out one of the small ear pieces and traced that as well on white card stock.
For the eyes I punch out a circle from whisper white card stock using the circle punch from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack #118309. The black of the eye was punched out using the Cupcake Builder Punch #121807, the sprinkles were the perfect size!
The nose I die cut out using a small Hello Kitty sizzlit that I have, used to make these invitations.
It actually did not take as much time as I thought it might, but then again I only made 10 and kept the rest very simple. And simple is hard for me I love over the top. But, I am happy with these and am excited to make DOUGHNUTS for the party. That's what the birthday girl wants, not cupcakes!!!
