For my boys’ birthday parties I try to make them as traditional and simple as possible…with of course a hint of retro and a lot of fun!  The invitations hopefully also reflect this.  I usually stick to primary colours and this year the invites started life as a red and white striped paper bag…

I used my paper cutter to cut them into 8.5cmx6cm pieces.I then cut white card into 10cmx7cm rectangles.  I then stuck the striped pieces of paper onto the white card.I then cut blue card into 12.5cmx9cm rectangles and then used a corner punch to finish the corners with a curved edge.

Next it was time to use the ‘Party’ rubber stamp from lollipop designs (lollipopdesigns.co.uk) to complete the invitations…a production line!….

The finished invitation 🙂
