*Whew*
I finally finished Kyle’s birthday invitations. I was brainstorming for his cards since June/July, and even had a mock-up, but never got to actually make any invitations. I knew I wanted to make an accordian card, but couldn’t really decide on the cover. And couldn’t really find a place to put the “All Aboard” ticket.
Then, yesterday I was thinking, why not make travel luggage cards? After all, I’ve been doing a lot of 3-d projects lately, why not make my son’s invitation different. Besides, it fits with “train ride to the party” travel theme.
Matchbox Template Set by Kelleigh Ratzlaff Designs (I used the large template). Her templates are soooo easy to use, and love using it since she did all the measument and all I have to do is print and cut.
Kelleigh Ratzlaff Designs is having a 30% off Back to School Sale until the end of September!
Stamped the cover. After I made this prototype birthday favor backpack (brown lunch bag covered with patterned papers), I was worried about how long it would take for me to make over 20. Stephanie (She was my first blog candy claimer and we became friends =) suggested stamping instead. Brilliant! Thanks Stephanie!
Flip the cover. Glue the bottom and the back part of the luggage. Attach the box.
Attach the ribbon (I used all purpose craft glue) to the cover. Spread/glue Aleen’s Tack-It Over & Over glue on the ribbon. This way, you can open and close the flaps over and over again.
Here are the invitation cards that go in the boxes (luggage).
Stamp: Making Memories Passport;
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black.
Stamps: Stampin’ Up! ” Choo Choo” and the matching train track Stampin’ Wheel; Taylored Expressions “Sweet Celebration”;
Stickers: Paperchase Cityscape.
Lollipop behind the engine.
Stamp: Maya Road “All Aboard” Singleton Stamp.
Duh~~!! I attached the handle on the front flap instead of the top. It was around 4 am, and I was dozing off.
Ta-da~! 21 Matchbox luggage. Hmmm… Missing one on the photo.
This one is for Kyle.
I didn’t put any contact information on the invitation card, because the party place provided it along with “do not sue us if your children get hurt” kind of waiver forms.
Now, I have less than 3 weeks to work on his party favors.

I think this is absolutely fabulous!! I hope you made an extra one (you should) for this child’s babybook. We always forget to do that! And I hope you take tons of pictures so that down the road he’ll remember it better! You are such an awsome Mom to do all this!!

Sunghee, these are absolutely adorable. I LOVE then and know that the guests (and their moms) will too. I can’t wait to see what else you create for the party.
