Party party party!

There's a couple of party projects I did using Rasberry goodies on the Rasberry blog today. 

Remember this banner I made back in November:

It's a cute 4 inches tall. You'll see some close ups on this post here.

For those of us who like to coordinate the whole shebang when organising a party, I designed an invitation to tie in with the theme:

 Teeny little triangles, glued onto some patterned paper and trimmed with some scalloped scissors. Because of the small size, all of this can be done by hand so there's no need for a fancy paper trimmer if you don't have one. Too easy!

 

Who wants to party?

 Here's a little banner I made using Rasberry products:

The white triangles are about 4 inches tall, and the coloured triangles are about 3 1/2 inches tall.

The letters themselves are stickers (too easy!):

Mounted onto various circles cut with my Nestabilities and punches:

The pennants are simply joined together with an epoxy brad, and each join is decorated with some coordinating ribbon:

This was fun to make. I might tackle a Christmas banner next!

Here's a layout I made using Rasberry products:

The first thing I did was trim half an inch off the patterned paper, and distress the edges.  The sheet tore in just the spot I wanted for my title, so I tore into the sheet some more until it was big enough to accommodate the large sticker letters:

One of the sheets of patterned paper has masses of butterflies on it, so I cut some out and placed them along the stitching, adding some bling for highlight:

Here are the little photos of a couple of my favourite people (my niece and nephew) with some of my favourite handmade flowers - rolled roses:
