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!

Football Favoritism

 

This is one of the favors that I made for the Go! #85 party! Again, I used the football cutout from the cricut cartridge Wrap it up.  This cartridge is so awesome, because it has a box feature! It is so simple to assemble this box, and the best part is that you don't even need tape to put it together.  It's a one piece design, and everything folds right into place.  I know that the invitations were all shades of purple, but since the Super Bowl is in New Orleans there is sort of a Mardi Gras theme going on too.  That is why these favors are all different colors.  It's a colorful party!

Cheers!

GO! #85

 Birthday Party/Super Bowl Party Invitations

This invitation is for an young lady turning 85, who's favorite color happens to be..umm you guessed it PURPLE!  The theme is football, since it's on Super Bowl Sunday.  I used my cricut for everything on this invitation.  I cut the rectangle shape of the card, accented it with my fav white pen to give it a little pop!  The 'jersey', is actually a baby onesie from the cartridge Wrap it up!  I just cut off the bottom part of the onesie to make it look like a shirt.  I added stripes to the sleeves to make it look more like a football jersey.  Since it's her 85th b-day, I made the # on the jersey 85.  The football is also from the Wrap it up cartridge.  I really made use out of this football.  More to come on that!  This invite is very simple, but I think gets the theme across well!
