I'm a Star Wars fan! Punch Art Creations

After years of resisting I have become an admiring Star Wars fan! We recently celebrated my sons birthday and he was set on having a Stars Wars Party! I was happy to oblige and go CRAZY on invitations, cookies, cake, chocolate favours - the works!

The Invitations

Now if you're a fan too you'll know who this little droid is...its BB8! A super cute, fun and easy punch art project. 'Lets Party' is from a stamp set in the Occasions catalogue (pg7) called 'Party With Cake' see it here.

Chocolate Favours

I love punch art! It gives you such freedom to just create whatever you want and the Word Wimdow punch is really the hero of this post. I have used this punch here again to create heeeeeeaps of lightsabers (also known as light savers to my kids! Lol). These chocolate wrapped favours were quite a hit and were so easy to create.

The Cake

I must acknowledge my dear friend Irene from My Crafted Creations who helped me to create this AWESOME cake! We created the Death Star from a styrofoam ball and wrapped it in fondant. We added the lines with a ruler.

Cookies

These were my favourite thing to create!! I had such a ball creating these, again with the much needed help of my friend Irene!

Other party items

Here are some pics of all the other bits n pieces that made this Star Wars party a real hit!

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed seeing my Star Wars projects please leave me a comment I'd love to hear what you think! May the force be with you!!

Baby Congratulations Card
This card speaks volume despite its simpleness. Using some soft colours from the Stampin' Up! Subtle Family - Soft Sky (base), Pool Party (dsp), So Saffron (scallop) and Pear Pizzaz (bow), I have created a gentle and elegant 'congratulations' card. I carefully coloured the cute 'pea in the pod' image from 'Friends & Flowers' stamp set in the same colours and I love the end result. By choosing to not colour the full outer shell, it helps to make this image really pop off the card.

Baby Shower Thank You Favours
Mmmm chocolates!! Eye Candy! Or perfect favours for a Baby Shower. These little treats turned out so much better than I could have hoped for! Following on the same theme as the card above how cute did these wrapped chocolates come up!? DSP from 'Sweet L'il Things' perfectly coordinates with my chosen colours. If you live where there's an Aldi Supermarket I have included a quick tutorial with the measurements for these delicious chocolates.

Be inspired with this colour combination, feel free to share and pin it!
