Dad's Surprise Birthday Party Invite


For my Dad's Surprise 70th Birthday Party I made the invitiations.  I used in asian motif being that we were going to a Japanese Buffet and we are Japanese. :) 

I had recently found the Cricut Pagoda Cartrige.  And used the whole think to make my the invite.  

I purchased a package of Blank Cards from Michaels.   Then cut out rectangles using my handy dandy Cricut machine.   Then I used Vellum paper that I had pre-printed and embossed with disco black powder (please embosses as far away from the paper as you can because Vellum will burn/get distorted) with the Party information, to create a "rice paper" screen in the window I had cut out. 

I then cut a 4" pagoda & a 3 1/2" bonsai to put behind the window.   I then cut the "Celebrate" Kanji characters in 1-1/2" with shadow and a 2" dragon to accent.   I then embossed the Kanji character with clear embossing powder (to give it a shiny look) and then added dimensional glue and red ruby glitter to accent the dragon.
