Digital Invitations! & A freebie!

Hey folks! It's Thursday again, so time for a little Lindsay Stamp Stuff project! I have found a new hobby! Digital Inviations! I love making these. You can design them in Paint.net (a free program found online) and then save them as jpegs and order them as prints from wal-mart.com! Quick and easy!

It suddenly occured to me that digital stamps would be a great resource for making these! So here are a couple that I have made this week using stamps from LSS! BTW, the digi papers and such that I used for these cards came from Shabby Princess.com

First we have a cupcake birthday invite using Lindsay's Sweet Stuff digi set.

Then there is the baby shower invite using Lindsay's On the Line digi set.

I originally started designing these for a friend who owns a local gift shop. She has had many people come in her store to ask for these types of things and she asked me to draw up some examples for her to display. Can't wait to make more!

Don't forget to stop by Lindsay's blog to grab a freebie!
Also here is your Thursday Freebie (even though we've had freebies everyday for the past week or so, hehe).

Monster Truck Birthday Party

Hello everyone! I thought I'd pop in to share my son's birthday party pics. We had a great time. The party was supposed to be outside at the park, but due to weather, we had to move it indoors. The monster truck design is from a Dustin Pike digi stamp freebie. I colored it and printed it really large. Then I took the picture to wal-mart and had them draw it on the cake. I think it turned out really cute! I also created the banner that you see below. If you didn't get to see the matching invitations, you can go here to see them in a previous post.

Monster Truck Party Hat Bday Invitations

Thanks to Lindsay at The Frugal Crafter's Weblog, I finally was able to figure out how I wanted to do my son's 3rd birthday party invites. She posted a free svg file today of a party hat card that she used to create her twin's birthday invites.
I used the freebie Monster Truck digi stamp from Dustin Pike. My son adores monster trucks! I will probably wind up making about 10 of these. I've made 5 already. I did them in under an hour this morning. The hard part is going to be nailing out the details of what I want the inside to say. I haven't picked a date or time yet. haha. I was able to fit 4 cards on one piece of cardstock! So this is a very cheap way to make invitations! I added some yellow stickles to the edge of the yellow at the bottom and top of the hat. Then I used some alpha stamps that I had laying around to put the work Party on the front. It is difficult to tell it by looking at this pic, but I also used some silver acrylic paint to paint the "chrome" parts of the truck. I wanted them to stand out separately from the tires. What do you think?
