Hello Kitty Birthday

Hi friends,

I know I don't get a chance to blog much lately.  I guess I haven't been crafting as much.  When I do, I forget to take the picture.  I'm such a mess lately.

You may remember that I was working on a Hello Kitty themed first birthday party for a friend's baby girl.  I wanted to share some of the things I made. I used the Hello Kitty Greetings cricut cartridge. The solid paper is Stampin Up. You know I love Stampin Up.

Hello Kitty invitation

Hi my friends,

I've been "thinking" of an invitation to make for my friend's daughter who turns one in May.  She showed me what she liked from a blog called Handmade by Odette.  I worked with what I had...and really couldn't figure out the purpose of the band around the card with the hello kitty, so I incorporated it a different way to also save paper.

I used Tempting Turquoise from Stampin Up.  The patterned paper is Me and My Big Ideas.  That paper is so thick.  I love it. The cut is from Hello Kitty Greetings at 3".

I'm still trying to figure out a good way to keep the band closed...I used a glue dot, but don't know if that will work or not.

Hope you like.
