Pinkalicious Party Happiness!!

Hello everyone & Happy Tuesday To Ya!! I tell ya the weather has been absolutely beautiful here in Virginia--I've had my windows wide open & letting the lovely breezes float in! Course my dogs bark at every fool thing that they here, but I'm used to that-LOL! Did I tell ya that when we went hiking down to the creek on Sunday there was HUGE copperhead snake on the path & Riley almost stepped right on it--EEEKKKK! If you were a reader last summer, than you remember my copperhead incident on my back steps---I HATE SNAKES & copperheads are nasty & poisonous too--yucky. Made me very nervous walking the dogs down there, but we didn't see anymore dangerous wildlife while we were there--scary I tell ya! LOL! Anywho, onto sweeter things for ya today, hee hee.....

Today is Try It Out Tuesday for Susana's Custom Art & Card Design and I've challenged the DT to create a party invite (summerlike in nature)! I decided to create a pinkalicious birthday party invite and candy favors! I used a Victoria Case for SCACD stamp "Follow Your Heart" which I just adore cuz' she's such a cutie--the sentiment was computer generated. The dp is some yummy papers from Dream Street papers--love the colors & patterns!

My invitation is a pocket invite with a pull-out insert. I left the insert blank cuz I'll probably turn this into a birthday card for someone later on--but you could print the info out on your printer and then cut out with the Curved Rectangle Nestabilities (I also inked the edges). Very easy to make too and fun for the receiver!
The scalloped border is where the insert pulls out--just a fun decorative element. My image is colored with Copics and then I stickled one balloon & put diamond glaze on the other.
These fun candy favors are made using a tutorial for "origami diaper pouches"--they come together so easily & no adhesive required. I made mine small by using a 6x6" square, but you can make them any size you'd like--really great when you use double sided paper too! I added some fun buttons from PTI with gluedots. The candy has simple wraps on them to coordinate with the rest of the papers--these are sooo easy to put together, so doing many of them would be a breeze!
You might have to click on this to make larger to see, but I sprayed all of my projects today with a FABULOUS new product! It's Shimmerz Spritz (by Shimmerz) in "Baby's Breath" and it is just beautiful IRL--such a soft subtle shimmer and NO GLOBS (like some of the other brands)! The baby's breath is great for any color paper or image, but I'm going to order the Cotton Candy for a soft pink as well. Susana has these in stock at her store right now--& you will lovee them, so go check 'em out! I literally was spraying everything yesterday, LOL--it really is beautiful!

Now make sure and stop by the store blog "Follow Your Heart" to see the rest of the DT's lovely invitations today--you're sure to be inspired!!

  3. Hi Suzanne!

    Oh, your snake story is scary. I live near Tucson, AZ, right by a big wash so we see lots of critters, usually on the other side of the fence but we have had a rattlesnake slither into the backyard twice that we know of. Ugh! Here the fire dept. comes and removes the snake thankfully!

    Love this little girl invitation set. I don't have any little girls but think I'm going to CASE this for a birthday card for my great niece who lives in England and will be turning 5 on June 23rd. TFS!

  5. Love your invitation set. I would love to see Virginia some day. I bet it is gorgeous. Would especially love to see it in fall. The only thing I don't want to see is a Copper Head. Yikes.

  12. This is so precious!! These look so easy - I will have to check out this pattern. Copperheads....eeekkkk!! I hate snakes too. We have lots of pigmy rattlesnakes in our neighborhood! Did I mention I hate snakes?? I have only seen one rattlesnake so far living here, but they have warning signs in certain parts of the neighborhood!

    I love your blog and really appreciate all of the Copic tutorials you have created!! Thanks for sharing your talent!

    You comment on my blog about the tea party with your mom was so like the tea parties I used to have with my grandmother and my girls had with my mom. I can't wait to have one with my grandbabies! And those pesky snakes need to go away! Be careful!
