Valentine's day wedding bonbonniere

Continuing on with my Valentine's day wedding show and share, today I have the bonbonniere to share with you. As there was a few children at the wedding we had separate bonbonniere for the kids.

Valentine's day wedding invite

After a slight blogging break, I'm back with lots of wedding goodies to share over the coming days. My sister got married on Valentine's Day and not only was I her papercrafter (making wedding and hen's party invites, name tags, bonbonniere tags etc.) I was also her matron of honour.

Without any further ado, I present to you the wedding invitation. The circle thinlets certainly sped things up with making this invite.

More corsets

I've been making corset hen's night invites again. This time they were even easier with the strawberry slush stretch ruffle trim.


Another sample I whipped up to show my customer, a pink version.

Hungry caterpillar invitation

Boys 10th birthday invitations

I've got two invites to share today. My eldest son is turning 10 this month and I was working on an invite in My Digital Studio when my laptop went in for repairs for 5 days. Not wanting to delay sending out the invites, I made a paper version for him to hand out. As I couldn't waste the the digital invites I started, I finished them off anyway to share with you.

Drew's 7th birthday

Mister Drewie recently turned 7 and it was his turn for a party this year. Part of the reason blogging hasn't been as frequent of late.

I decided a Lego theme would be very appropriate for my little man as he loves his Lego.

I made Lego invitations, card, lolly bags (times two) and even a Lego themed cake. While I recover from his party (no not really, I have a busy week with a ladies night in, a stall at Caulfield racecourse and a workshop in the next 7 days) I'll drag out the creations I made over the next few days.

I found this free printable here which I used inside the invitation (along with lego font) to customise the inside. 

Materials list: 
Stamps: Distress dots
Cardstock: Gumball green, real red, daffodil delight, pacific point
Inkpads: Gumball green, real red, daffodil delight, pacific point
Punches: Itty bity shapes punch pack

Corset card again

Remember the corset hen's party card I shared a few weeks back? I was asked to make another card exactly like one made by Genevieve Valdes. Genevieve made it simple by sharing her template. I made a few alterations to the template so it was top opening (not side opening) and backed it with additional cardstock to make the card nice and strong. Other than those changes, it was all Genny's template! This card is for a birthday card but it would made a lovely dirty 30 invite or a hens night invite also.
