Hi Everyone,
Cuttlebug Challenge Blog is turning 1 in September! We would like to invite all of you to come celebrate with us!
We are teaming with "Ready Set Create" as our sponsor for the month of September. You could win a chance to have your Art published!
Tell all your friends! :)
All month long we will be having challenges, tutorials and tips to help you throw an awesome birthday party. Plus LOTS of PRIZES!
Follow along with us and you will have everything you need. Just pick your theme and come join the fun!
The first "Be Inspired" challenge is to create invitations. If you have already peeked at mine you will think that I am really confused. Not at all! I am able to mix it up because I have a friend that was born on Halloween! We always have a combined adult Halloween/ birthday party to make them feel special! Soooo my birthday party theme is HALLOWEEN! Bet none of the other DTs came up with that one LOL! If you want to use my samples to create something similar, you could drop the birthday part and just do a Halloween party theme.
Now, if you follow my blog you know I usually do highly detailed cards that take hours and hours each. I am not going to give you an invitation example that is unrealistic. I personally will need to make about 20 of these. My tip to you is to make pretty but simple invitations if you will be sending more then 5 or 6.
It was really hard for me to keep it simple but I think I did OK. I will have more time to concentrate on the other party elements and can go into greater detail with them.
On this cute little 4” card, I used Core'dinations "Black Magic" cardstock for the hand cut crow and the orange below it is also Core'dinations.They are one of our awesome sponsors! I ran it thru my Cuttlebug in a swirl embossing folder (my fave) and distressed it with sand paper. I popped it with foam tape, added a little stitching and some brads and viola'! Easy cheesy! If you don’t sew you can do it without and it will still be cute.
Don’t forget to enter my blog candy for a chance to win 5 Cuttlebug embossing folders!
You should really go check out all of the awesome DT samples the other girls have created. You will be inspired!

Another gorgeous creation of yours True - love the stitching and those gorgeous colours!! Fabulous True - thanks for sharing!! God bless you!
ReplyDeleteThat crow card is totally cool. When I met my first husband he took me to meet "Crow" his grandmother. During dinner, I asked, "Crow, can you pass the butter." The whole room went silent. She passed the butter. Later he giggled his head off because no one actually called her that to her face! LOL! This card made me remember a blast from the past! Great card!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool invitation and I love the cute crow :)
ReplyDeleteI love the stitching on your invitation! Looks great!
ReplyDeleteTrue, the colors you chose are so yummy! I love purple and green with Halloween (hey, that rhymes!)
ReplyDeleteMy cousin's b-day is on Halloween, but he is not an old crow ;) Clever image and sentiment!!!
