Hello Kitty Party

Wow!!  It has been quite some time since I've made any blogs :(  Well, I'm back!!  My goal is to post a weekly blog, along with the project I will have made.

The last time I posted, I was working on my daughter's first birthday party; an adorable butterfly theme.  Well, guess what?  I am now creating her second birthday party!  This time around, it is definitely my favorite DIY project so far.  I am creating a Hello Kitty party.  Who doesn't love Hello Kitty!?!  Well, Peyton absolutely LOVES Hello Kitty, so why not giver her a party that I just know she will love.  The first thing I did was invest in a new Cricut cartridge: Hello Kitty Greetings.  I can't believe how much I can do with just that one cartridge!  First thing's first with a birthday party...The invitation.

I loved making this invitation!  It is cute, girly, and best of all, fairly simple to make!  I did it all with 4 simple steps: cutting paper to necessary sizes, print out actual invitation, cut out all Cricut pieces, assemble all pieces.

For this invitation, I went with a base size of 5x7.  I debated between this and a 4x6, but with this size the details showed much better.

With the rest of my party accessories and decorations, I am going with the same Hello Kitty image.  I have decided to have pink and green be the primary colors for her party--They are a good representation of the Hello Kitty projects, and let's face it, I just love those colors together!

Stay posted for more items for this adorable birthday party!!

Butterfly Theme 1st Birthday Party

With my daughter's 1st birthday coming up...quickly, I decided to throw her a butterfly theme party!  Perfect for a little girl!  My colors were focused around pinks and greens, with a few purples and blues to add variety.  Here is the invitation I made:

This invitation was pretty simple to make.  I used a standard size of 5.5 x 4.25 for the card.  I'm a fan of the rounded edges, so you will see that quite often in my cards!  Then, I just cut the pink and green to fit within the card.
That was the easy part...
I seemed to have a harder time coming up with something for inside the card!  Here is what I came up with:

  This was by far my favorite of the invitations I've made!
