Magic Show Birthday Invitations

I was so excited when Bradley decided he wanted a Magic Show Birthday party.  I was getting a little tired of the Lego parties.  I had so much fun with this one.

 

I used Create A Critter for the hat.  I used Design Studio to cut a lot.  The rabbit is also Create A Critter.  I attached 2 hats together, that way the rabbit could be pulled out of the hat.  "The Rabbit is out of the hat..." is computer generated.

 

Rabbit coming out of the hat!

 I had a hard time thinking of wording because the rabbit had such an odd shape.  I used Peachy Keen, Everyday Character Faces Stamps. Got Scrap's? has an amazing 'how to' video on Masking.  That is how I was able to do the pink nose.  I used Copic R20 for the pink nose and ears.  I came up with the rabbit holding a sign so they would know how old Bradley would be.

Looking at the pictures, I now wish I would have cut out another rabbit to attach to the back so you wouldn't be able to see the pink.  I computer generated the information for the party.  I said things like, "Bradley's House of Magic" with our address.  And "RSVP to Bradley's Assistant, Blaire" with my phone number and email address.  I was really pleased how cute these turned out.

Magic Show Balloon Bouquet Vase

 I love, love, love Balloon Bouquets. 

For this one, I cut the rabbit from Create A Critter at 11 1/2".  The hat is also CAC cut at 22" (even though your Cricut mat is only 12 x 12, you can cut larger).  The wand is free hand, pink on the rabbit is Copic Markers R20.  I used actual playing cards for decorations.  Got them at the $ store for 2 packs for $1.  I did free draw the face because I do not have stamps large enough.

 I glue dotted a clothespin to back of the rabbit, then attached to the vase. 

This isn't the best picture of the Balloon Vase.  I forgot to take a closer picture.  I made 2 of these and had the other one setting in the room where the magician performed.

Magic Show Happy Birthday Banner

Loved making this banner.  It took some time, but I had so much fun.

 I used Tags, Bags, Boxes and More Cricut cartridge and cut the bottom layer from Kraft cardstock at 6".  The red layer was cut at 4 3/4".  The black shadow is cut from Pooh and Friends Font cartridge at 3 3/4".  It is the Marker font.  The white letter is also Marker font at 3 3/4".  I pop dotted the letters to make it stand out.  Then I tied each tag together with white grosgrain ribbon.

 This particular rabbit was cut from Create A Critter at 6" and I used Peachy Keen Stamps, Everyday Faces.

 This hat was cut from Create a Critter, the wand I did free hand because the one from CAC was too small.  The little ACES deck of cards was a clip art I found and cut them out.

 The hat on the P is cut at 6"

This rabbit was cut at 4" and used the PKS faces again.

Bradley loved this so much he asked me to hang it on his wall after the party...that's why it makes all this hard work, worthwhile.

Magic Show Door Hanger

I took an old frame that I was not using and computer generated the "Please Come In".  I originally used this for a football party we had and kept it.  I cut the rabbit from Create A Critter at 4" and the top hat is also from Create A Critter at 6".  The sweet face is Peachy Keen Stamps and I masked out the nose.  I used my Copic R20 marker to color the pink in the ears and nose.

This is the sign...it is tiny, but effective.  I also attached balloons to wooden skewers and put them in my urns.  Since it is so cold here in Texas nothing will grow...they looked ugly.  With the balloons, they looked awesome.

"Magic Beans" Goody Bags

Oh boy, do I have a lot to post.  Today we had a

Magic Show Birthday Party. 

I had so much fun with this one. 

 I wanted to make "Magic Beans" for the goody bags.  I found these Belly Flops at Big Lots for $3.  They are Jelly Bellies, but some of them are fused together so they cannot be sold with the Jelly Bellies.  The amount I have spilled is from one of my "Magic Beans" bag...not many fused in there, are there?

 The top hat is from Create A Critter cartridge cut at 6", the cello bags are from Hobby Lobby and the "Magic Beans" label is computer generated.

This is not a great picture, I was rushing before the party started.  I bought all my goodies from Windy City Novelties.  You can't really see the hat, I bought top hats and used that as the bag.
