Four

Hi there,

Yes my wee boy Kyan turned 4 on Sunday! Can I share his birthday invites, and lolly cartons with you?

Here are his invites:

 

The inspiration for the shape of my invites came from my good friend Trish who used a similar envelope format for her boy Rhyan’s birthday in July. I’ve used two stampsets for these invites; Afterthoughts (hostess level 1) and A Little Treat for the hot air balloon.  I cased the idea of the little monkey in the balloon from a fellow demonstrator on Stampin Connection. My colour inspiration came directly from the DSP Greenhouse Gala (punched here as the balloon).

Early Espresso’

Baja Breeze (and Marina Mist)

Pear Pizazz

Tangerine Tango

And for the lolly bag? I made Gable Boxes that I downloaded  from the SU demonstrator website. I made a selection of colours and added a retired thanks stamp from Outlined for Fun – Cute Eh?

I will be back later to show you a scrapbook layout I created using my favourite photo from Kyan’s Birthday – and not a piece of cake or a candle in sight!

See you soon!

Happy Birthday Human!

My big boy is turning 6 in a few weeks and it is the first real opportunity I have had to go all out Stampin’ UP! style for party invites… So here is my creation!

Laurenz’s favourite colour is orange, so I started with a Tangerine Tango base card, and added Tempting Turqoise DSP from the Pink Flamingo Pack:

 

The stamp set I have used is Lots of Bots from the Autumn Winter Stampin’ Up! Mini catalogue.  I’ve stamped it in Basic Black Ink and coloured it with my Stampin Pastels.  The colour scheme is Tempting Turquoise, Tangerine Tango (Only Orange pastels) and Yoyo Yellow.  I love this folding card because you don’t need an envelope but still have that surprise when you open the card… The “look whos turning” stamp is from On Your Birthday  – a really great set to have in you stash.

The Tempting Turquoise DSP is from Pink Flamingo and I love the spots!  The 6 is cut from the same DSP using my Timeless Junior Alphabet Dies and Bigshot. 

All his wee freinds are sending their RSVP’s for Laurenz’s ”Robot” party so best I get onto the party decorations with Robots in them eh?

Thanks for stopping by!
