Part two of my birthday invitations



So a few weeks ago I had an entry showing you all the invitations I made for my daughters 25th birthday party.  I then started making party favours for her guests.  I made 30 of these cute purses using my cricut and the Forever Young Cartridge.  I embossed them using my Cuttlebug.  The hearts I cut out with a punch and the figures were cut out using my Cuttlebug again.  I tied them to the handles of the purses using embroidery floss.  Inside the purses will be the chocolates with the Thanks tag on it.  I used stamps from Stampin up and then cut each one out.  The bows on the chocolates are again made using embroidery floss.

A close up  of the purses.  I hope all her guests have a wonderful party and enjoy their party favours.

Enjoy

Love

Under the sea

Hi everybody

This a ATC I did for a challenge on Artchix-Sister Site.  I have never done this one before, but it was under the sea, so using mermaids, seahorses etc.  The tail is one from Artchix as is the word ART.
The head and body was actually a fairy stamp which I cut is half and then coloured using pencils and thinners.
The lace and trim is just from cutoffs I had left.  Buttons are bubbles.
Rubons for the edge.  The fish I made using jewellery wire.

I hope you all like it

Love

Michele
