I'm back with another quick card. The holidays may be over but I am still swamped with all sorts of projects going on here. We are almost finished with the total renovations of the two spare bedrooms. The smaller one is now an office/den and it looks amazing! My neighbor came by today to install the ceiling fans/lights and I've just got to finish up the second room. It used to be the grandkids playroom but they have outgrown the toys and are now into arts and crafts, board games, video games and of course, iPads and computers. So it's been a challenge trying to get the room just right.
In any event, my youngest grandson, Danny, will be celebrating his 3rd birthday in February and my daughter-in-law asked if I would make the invitations. Of course, I never say no, but being short on time, I told her it would be on the simple side.
Now, I have to tell you how impressed I am with myself. The card may not look like much, but it was my very first attempt at importing an image from the internet for printing and cutting on the Silhouette Cameo. OMG, I LOVE THIS MACHINE! I have to admit, I didn't have much faith when it came to cutting out this image, but it did an amazing job. Perfectly lined up with the printed image and I couldn't be happier.
So, I printed out Spidey and then the machine did the cutting. The background is embossed with a Cuttlebug spider web folder, and the sentiment is computer generated. I used an EK Success word bubble punch and pop dots add some dimension. This is a post card style invitation, so I just printed out all of the party info and added it to the back.
Danny's favorite superhero is Spiderman and he absolutely loves his invitations. Guess that's all that matters, right?
I'd like to wish all of you a very happy, healthy and prosperous New Year! And to all of my friends who were in the path of these snow storms, stay warm and remember that Spring is less than 3 months away! :)
