Super Birthday

My nephew's 5th birthday card is featured. I used the CTMH retired Superheros My Acrylix stamp set. 

I liked the look of the hero in blue and white so I didn't add color. It seemed like more of a comicbook-ish look.

The emblem was cut on my Cricut using the Superman cartridge and red and gold cardstock, at 1" real dial size. 

I used a border punch on the blue glitter cardstock, stamped the Superhero sentiment and added blue and white baker's twine.

Inside the card, I used a simple sentiment from the My Acrylix Joyful Birthday set.

Finally, the reason for my lengthy search for the retired Superhero set has happened.  Wanting this set was the  catalyst for me being a CTMH consultant. 

Thanks for looking!

i entered this as a masculine card in the Tip Top Tuesday Challenge #103 here.

 

Super Treats for Super Kids!

Prototype

I haven't posted for a week because we been busy with birthday celebrations and out of town company. The first two weeks of June are like that!  A lot of family time, which is WONDERFUL!

I prepared these adorable CTMH treat containers with assembly line help from grandparents and DH for my nephew's 5th birthday party. The theme was superheroes.  (I posted the invitations I made in previous blog posts.)

We finished 24 treat tubes on an assembly line the night before the party. Nothing like waiting til the last minute!

I used my Superman Cricut cartridge for the emblem, cut from yellow and red cardstock and layered. I found mthe Xyron sticker-maker to be extremely helpful in applying adhesive to the little 1" die cuts. 

The emblem was then adhered to a 1-1/4 inch circle punched from blue glitter paper. The prototype used blue comic strip paper, but we swapped that out for the glitter paper, which looked a lot better.

Then we stamped a starburst from the CTMH Perfect Fit-Birthday set and fussy-cut them out. [I gave that job to Grandma ;) ]

I wrapped the CTMH treat tubes with a 2-1/2 inch strip of superhero patterned paper (prepped by DH) and secured them with double-stick tape. 

We adhered the emblems and Grandpa and I tied red & white baker's twine on each tube.

We punched a 1" circle for the lids and then Grandpa enjoyed filling them.

They turned out great...but the 5-year old partiers didn't fawn all over the packaging..they went right to the yummy chocolate sixlet treats!

Super Invitations

I cased a design for a 5th Birthday -- a Superhero party! I also had a 2nd design as a sample. Birthday Boy wanted both! So with the help of DH & my friends, we put 20 together. The stamps are from a retired CTMH set, but it was a lot of fun!
