50's party favor

These are the party favors I made for my daughter's class to celebrate her 9th birthday. We stuck with the 50's theme and chose the guitar from the Nifty Fifties cartridge. the guitar was cut at 2.25 inches and the border was done with a Martha Stewart border punch. "Celebrate" was printed out using the font "Curlz MT ". These are very simple and come together fast.....when you are making 25 fast is always goood!

Happy Crafting,

Fabulous Fifties Party Decorations

My daughter made the winner ribbons to give out for the various games. We played Marbles, Hoola Hoop and Jacks.










The decorations were made using the Nifty Fifties cartridge. It was released just in time for my daughter's (9th) birthday party. We did it up complete with saddle shoes and poodle skirts. The children (and adults) all looked so cute. I had lots of fun with this theme and the children loved every minute of it. We had a Diner style lunch complete with plastic baskets for the hamburgers and even served milkshakes. The adults seem to love that part as much as the children. The party favor was a milkshake glass with a tag which they were able to fill with the candies of their choice.

Fifties Party Invitation

Several months ago my daughter decided she wanted a 50's theme party for her 9th birthday so we began coming up with ideas...then provo craft released their Nifty Fifties cartridge and thank goodness for that becuase it has made this so much easier. This is the first of many projects I will post using this cartridge. This is the invitation I came up with. My sister and I made about 40 of these. The card is 4.25 x 5.5 and the pink layer is 4.0 x 5.25 and I ran it through the cuttlebug for some texture. We used pop dots for the dress to give it some dimension and two types of ribbon, one on the dress which was velvet and one on the pink cardstock for more texture:)

Happy Crafting,
