Hello Kitty Baby Shower - Favors!

I finished the favors for the Hello Kitty Baby Shower!  I posted the invitations last week (HERE).  Next, I'm going to do a banner and possibly a diaper cake if time permits!

I cut 6" boxes using my Cricut and the Tags, Bags, Boxes & More cartridge and assembled them.  Next, using the Baby Steps cart, I cut 3.5" carriages in pink and green and layered them.  Then it was time to add Kitty and to create one that was looking over the side of the buggy but the only image like (Hello Kitty Greetings cart) that was one with a teddy bear on her head!  Cute, but not what I wanted....SO, I used the "shadow" cut of that image (and snipped off the bear) and then cut the paws from the same image and then cut the Hello

Kitty face.  I think they turned out pretty cute :)

Once Hello Kitty was glued in place, I glued the carriage to the back of the boxes.  Each box is big enough for 3 Hershey nuggets which I covered with matching printed paper.  The rhinestones are from Martha Stewart.  So, now I'm off to finish a project for A Day for Daisies!  There's a cool new challenge beginning Friday so please check back for details on that! :)

Hello Kitty Baby Shower!

Whew!  I finished the baby shower invites; all 30 of them!  I need to get these out tomorrow so I am really excited I pulled this off :) When I took the job, I knew I was already working against the clock but sometimes, the cause is worth the challenge.  I love boxed sets of invites.  I used to use them all the time -- until I got my Cricut and found Bazzill cardstock :) -- but the quick turnaround on these called for some shortcuts.  I still scour the craft stores for clearance sets and that's how I found the one used here.  They are pink polka dot cards with matching envelopes and sheer ribbon.   I got this set of 50 for $1.99 -- that's awesome! And then I re-purposed them with a vellum overlay (details are computer-generated) and Hello Kitty diecut (cut by my Cricut and Hello Kitty Greetings Cartridge).  I decided upon a Hello Kitty theme when I saw her DARLING nursery set from Babies R Us -- see it HERE.  Oh that little Hello Kitty puppy is just too cute!   So, now that I have the invites finished, I

am going to work on favors and a banner; luckily I have a little more time to get those things finished and I will share them as soon as they are complete! :)  Have a good week :)  <3 Lisa
