Field Goal!

The Super Birthday party continues!  This is another favor that I made for the party.  These are boxes of chocolates.  Continuing with the football theme, I wanted it to look like the football field.  

I wrapped the boxes with green paper to look like grass.

I cut strips of white paper to look like the yard lines on the field.  Since I couldn't do the entire field, I just went with the center and the 50 yard line.  I cut the #s out with the cricut cartridge Birthday Bash.  

I added little hash markings that I made with a hole punch.  This is where, your scraps really come handy.  I know it's not straight, but honestly this part is a lot of work.  I used a toothpick to help me glue the tiny pieces and tried to align them as straight as possible.

Lastly I tied some bakers twine around the box, and added a football(Wrap it up) and a jersey(Wrap it up).  These are just a little bit smaller than the ones that I made for the invitations.  This time I hand printed out MAHALO(Thank You) on the jersey.

A lot more in the makings for this Super Birthday still to come!

Hello Kitty Folder

 

CH #34: Anything but a card or a tag

This week we have 2 great sponsors:

Be sure to check out their sites for all their goodness!!

I decided to make one of my folders for this challenge!  Of course it's Hello Kitty!  I used a mead folder for this project, it is very durable, inexpensive and has a lot of pockets!  I used the My Little Twin Stars paper tape and ran it across the folder from end to end creating a stripped look.  I made the Hello Kitty head with my big shot in coordinating colors, light blue and brown.  This color combo is great for someone who likes Hello Kitty, but not really girly or that into pink.  A very simple project, and a great way to add some excitement to a regular folder.
