A fun and festive invitation is the perfect way to invite guests to your party.  It will set the tone long before the party begins.  For my daughter’s 10th birthday, we had a Parisian Bakery themed party.  Of course, Paris is fancy, so the invitations needed to be fancy too.

I started by cutting black 8.5″ x 11″ card stock exactly in half.  I printed all of the party details on light pink paper and cut it slightly smaller than the black card stock, leaving about a 1/2″ border along all sides.  I then used a glue stick to glue the pink paper to the black card stock.

I stamped a silver Eiffel Tower onto velum that I cut the same size as the black card stock.

You can see how fun this looks when the velum is resting on top of the pink and black.

Take a single hole punch and evenly space out 2 holes.

Thread pink ribbon through the holes with both ends coming up.

Tie a pretty bow.

You now have a fancy invitation to send to your guests that was quite simple to make.

Happy stamping…

“Wonder what I will come up with next”…
