just make it if you can't buy it

So , our middle son is about to be 5... with his little brother's birthday only 2 weeks after. We have been lucky for the last 2 years to be able to have a joint party , saving time and money.. Well , No such luck this year . He has requested his own birthday party this year .. That is fine. He went back and forth between the ideas of another Mario Brothers party or another popular game.. Angry Birds.. well , since we did Mario Brothers last year. Angry birds won.. As you may know , there aren't Angry Birds birthday decor for sale... SO... out comes the craftiness again ..starting with invitations : 

these started with precut cards ( just solid color cards ) from JoAnn's they came with coordinating envelopes the rest was made by me using cardstock , and foam sheeting ..and you get these , 15 were made and each one was different , those that do not have "you are invited" on the inside had it on the outside.














this is the envelopes that they came in , each childs name was put in there , hand stamped
