It's party time around these parts! Our wee Heidi is turning 5 - my little lover of zebra's and orange. It also means she gets to have a "big" party. For all other birthdays we have some cake with a few friends, nothing formal, nothing serious (though no less special!). But 5... 5 is a biggie for us and means serious business!
So it's only apt we have some serious invitations :) We tossed around lots of ideas for a fun invitation and finally settled on this one. A moving Zebra card invitation. Of course!
I researched how these cards worked and it was really simple! Bonus! And hubster had not long returned from an overseas trip with lots of little coins fit for this purpose.
Though wanting to have various different components, it meant a few layers and a lot, A LOT!!, of cutting! My hands did not love me for it, but we loved the final results : )
She was thrilled, and the girls all loved playing with them. Always makes a enjoyable experience that much more rewarding doesn't it?
What clever, crafty things have you been working on? Anything finished? Any sneaky peeks to share?
Cant wait to see what you've been up to!
Hope your Thursday is full of fun!

Gah! You're amazing!!!!
ReplyDelete... Just saying :-)
I am sitting here in raptures, clever, clever lady. So bittersweet to see your child heading off to school, isn't it? When the call goes out for a creative parent to assist with classroom learning or props for school productions, the teachers won't need to look further than you.
ReplyDeleteGosh they are cute. I am not surprised she was thrilled.
ReplyDeleteThis is brilliant! What an adorable card friend!!! I can tell that this party is going to be awesome! I so have to link up to this party when I get some things made! Nicole xo
ReplyDeleteThat is super duper cute! I did a card like that once with a duck- very time consuming but so much fun for whoever receives it.
ReplyDeleteWow! That is some seriously amazing invite work. You never cease to amaze and inspire me by how you always go the extra mile. Skills xxx
ReplyDeleteCute invites! Very creative :)
ReplyDeleteWOW! They are amazing!
ReplyDeleteFancy card. Fancy GIF. You're just totally fancy!!!
ReplyDeleteWorks of art! I wouldn't be letting kids get their hands on them!
ReplyDeleteLove it, one seriously cute card and I'm equally impressed by the little video of it in action!
ReplyDeleteWow! They are super cute! Waiting with trepidation to see what happens for the party! It will be amazing if the invites are anything to go by! :-D
ReplyDeleteThis is just the coolest idea for an invite - I might have to 'borrow' the concept for a party later in the year (LEGO Movie at this stage, it was dinosaurs last month so who knows we still have 3 months to go!)
