Labor Day Quickie Project

Hi All,

I hope you’ve all had a terrific Labor Day!  I’ve taken advantage of this long weekend to catch up on some household chores and projects.  I’m exhausted but feel so much better now that I have better organized closets and drawers.  So this explains why there was no Scrapbook Sunday yesterday. However, I did want to share with you this quickie project, a party invitation.

Next weekend is my daughter’s 12th birthday!  Which is part of the reason why I’ve also been frantically cleaning the house this weekend.  There will be 6 tween girls sleeping over next Saturday night.  Of course I had to create some cute party invitations.  When I showed my daughter the adorable little Penny Black hedgehog, he immediately became the star of her party invitations this year.

This project is very easy to make.  I created 5 party invitations with two sheets from an old Cricut 6×12 Celebrations pad.  I no longer have the Cricut, but I still have two of these paper pads.  I then stamped the hedgehog from Party Time stamp set from Penny Black in Memento Rich Cocoa.  I added the sentiment from the same stamp set inside the balloon.  I didn’t color the image to keep it simple and quick. I cut the image into the label shape with the Spellbinders Labels 4.  I then used the label die as a template to create the orange label frame mat for each piece.  Finally, I rounded the corners with a corner rounder punch.  Like I said easy peasy and ready to be distributed at school tomorrow morning.

Thanks for stopping by!
