Star Wars Birthday



The artists at Splitcoast Stampers are geniuses. Seriously! They can take something like a punch, look at it in a completely different way, and come up with something completely new and unexpected.

I needed to make some birthday invitations for Sam, who will be turning six on Saturday. I was looking for something Star Wars themed, did a search in the SCS gallery, and came up with some amazing ideas using punches.

The first, from Dragonpynk, was combining punches to make an Imperial Tie Fighter. She gives step-by-step instructions here:

The second was using the word window punch to make light sabers...so cool! Thank you, whitney grace!

Needless to say, Sam was thrilled with the outcome! We're inviting five neighborhood children over for a little cake and ice cream and games party on Saturday afternoon. He was so excited to play mailman last night and hand-deliver these invitations.

{recipe: Hugs and Wishes (SU), basic gray cardstock, brilliant blue cardstock and ink, green galore cardstock and ink, black cardstock and ink, round tab punch, designer label punch, circle punch, word window punch}

Any suggestions for some good party games for kindergarteners?
