Remote Invites -

Hello & Happy Monday my fellow Crafting Peeps! I hope you all enjoyed your weekend! I found time to sit down and craft! That always makes for a Great Weekend!
As you well know.... I have a son who has a Birthday the end of this week - I made him the Ninja card that can be found RIGHT HERE!!!
 I also have another son who has a Birthday next week as well! They are 10 yrs. apart - Which means the youngest will be 13 this year! Yikes!!! My Baby is growing up so fast! :) 
Of course, with this being a BIG Milestone Birthday for my youngest, we are having a PARRRTAY! Which means I HAD to make Invitations!! Okay, Okay, I didn't have too, but if you make cards... ummm you kind of do!
Here's what his invites look like - I did remove the personal info... cuz we are on the internet! (Wink Wink)

Since he will be a Teenager - my thought process was pretty simple - 

Ummm...  Video Games/ Remotes!! LOL

I wanted to make the invite as simple as possible and still

look kind of cool - so I went with a simple Xbox Remote design

which I found in the Silhouette Store (#79637) - I think it is a Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbon Design - I made it more like a Post Card type of design -

so the kids could just flip it over for the information -

I Used White Embossing powder for the sentiment stamp, so it

would Pop on that Black Card stock - Sentiment is from

My Pink Stamper

I added Glossy Accents to the colored buttons, just so it would

have a more realistic look - I also Added Dimensionals to pop up

the 2 grey circles to look like the joy sticks on a regular remote. 

This is the back side of the card - I used the Offset feature in the Silhouette Program to makes the White Card stock shape a little smaller and to write out the info for them - I then used the Print N Cut Feature to get everything where I wanted it - 
 I've heard back from everyone who is coming - so my son is very excited about his party this coming Saturday!
