Party time!

Since returning to school the kids have tallied up no less than 3 party invites already! They have a way better social life than I do ...hmmph! So yes, I've been card making again :)

Two of the invites were for girly girls, both names starting with L. So I took that as my inspiration for these, almost identicle cards.  
I used Córdinations cardstock and the embossing folder is by Craft Concepts -Starry Night for the background. 
I created the embellishments using Papertrey Ink(PTI) "Heart Dies", PTI Cream Felt & Kraft cardstock.
 The alphabet stamps are Waltzing Mouse(WM) "Victorian Alphabet".
I created an insert which I decorated with the childs names over the WM "Bitty Banners" stamps. 
The Banners I stamped in Tim Holtz distress ink -Tattered Rose, a pale shade allowing me to stamp the name over the top in "Memento -Rich Cocoa". 

Recipe: Waltzing Mouse Stamps-Bitty Banners, Victorian Alphabet, Papertrey Ink-Kraft cardstock/Cream Felt, Adhesive gems, THDI -Tattered Rose/Worn Lipstick, Memento-Rich Cocoa Ink
Tools: PTI Heart Dies, Craft Concepts "Starry Night" Embossing Folder.

I was really chuffed with these until I saw Steph's gorgeous makes this morning! Check these out, aren't they just the sweetest?

You'll be pleased to know I've been card making this morning aswell! I know -can't seem to get enough lately :) Will post those in due course. Thanks so much for visiting today, have a great day.
