Hello! Well, as you can see, I ended up changing the colors on my sons invitations. I adore the red and white, but I was printing these myself and the red just wasn’t printing well. I should have planned on having them printed, but ..meh, I just didn’t.
Still, I’m very happy with the result! I love, love, love the zesty yellow twine from Whisker Graphics so I was happy to have it hold all together so beautifully. In the third photo from the top you can see that I also changed the treat boxes, oh they’re so cute! I’m not sure yet what I will fill them with… perhaps lemon heads.
The little ’10′ card tied onto the invite is actually a little toy. I’m not sure what you call these things (any suggestions?) but you can see that one side has the ’10′ and the other has the sunburst, so when you hold the pretty twine in your fingers and spin, the two sides look like one and the sunburst appears to be behind the ’10′. It’s really fun!
I used to love these things when I was little, the one you’d see most often was the one that had an open bird cage on one side and a bird flying on the other and when you spun it, it looked like the bird was flying out of the cage. What a lovely thing! It took me a while to figure out what I was going to do to add an element of FUN into the invite and this worked out perfectly!
I have some other little surprises too, but my camera recently broke and I’ve had trouble taking photos that do them justice with my cell phone. On that note, I know these images are a bit ragged as well, but I did my best with what I have. I’ll be putting some money away for a new one & doing some research on which one to get.
So, I thought I’d tell you how I made these and also thought I’d make some that I can put up as a free download as well! First, here are the directions:
Step One: Cut out both sides out with a circle punch (for these I used a 2″ circle) and then run either the back or the front through your small Xyron machine. You could also use double stick tape if you dont have an Xyron. It works fine, it’s just a little bit more time consuming.
Step Two: After cutting your twine, center it on the sticky circle. Do try and get it nice and straight so it will not spin all cock eyed. It does make a difference.
Step Three: To finish them up, just place the non-sticky piece neatly onto the sticky side, sandwiching the twine between them. The more perfect you get them the better. If all the edges *dont align perfectly you’ll have a sticky edge. (yuk!)
That’s it! Spin the twine & watch the magic!
Now, since I doubt that you have need for a spinning toy with the number ’10′ on it, I designed a little Halloween toy for you! Here’s a little preview, though to really appreciate the fun, you’ll have to print them out and make them! (Pssst! You could also head over to my Facebook page to see the bunny fully masked! Shhh!!)
Here is your download: Masked Bunny (950) If you make these, I’d love to see some pictures! You can put them up over here and I’ll feature them on my blog! {They would be great for Halloween party favors!}
Enjoy!

The shiny UV bits make the card. Your attention to detail is one of my favorite things about your work. 
The icing on the cake for sure! Moving locally, it’s important to us that J stays close to his grandparents and aunts and uncles! xo
So, here are the downloads for you to enjoy! I put them separately in case you only wanted the cards or, you could really only use the headers as well and just put candy in the bag sans the card. Whatever you fancy!
