Good morning all,these are the first lot of invitations complete......woohoo.....A friend of mine asked if I could make party invites for her twins 4th birthday,I said I could colour a clown image on them but she said to keep it simple and do balloons. The twins got to pick two of their favourite colours each for the balloons,well I had to make 30 of these little beauties.........which BTW look so much better IRL.Well when I started to make them it was then I realised I had to cut 120 balloons and 120 little triangles for the bottom, as well as 150 pieces of silver cord and then attach them all together........lol.......I had already completed 8 and it took me all day to do the other 22,in between seeing to my girls,especially the little one.You can't see,but I have popped the pink balloon up on 3d foam tape and I have also added a strip of magnet to the back so it can be placed on the fridge.I purchased this magnetic tape from Bunnings, it is sticky on one side and a magnet on the other,it comes in a 3 metre roll and you just cut it to the length you need.Well the baby shower invites are next.Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend.

Nice job done with these invites Cheryl - they're gorgeous! You must be happy to have them done!! I just finished 10 and I'm glad they're done!!

WOW - when you put the stats on what you had to cut out I am in awe!!! Fabulous job - you could have gone an easier option with a silver pen but I think the cord is soooo much nicer, love the whole eefect! Bet you wish there was a balloon die cut out there somewhere though - LOL.
xXx
brillient idea with the tape might have to remember that. Lovely invites.
You always keep so busy helping your friends using your crafting skills!! They are so lucky to have you!! Perfect invites for a 4 year olds birthday.
