The Making of Invitations

 

Look at all this great stuff I got for free in the mail!

Photo safe adhesives from Elmer's and sharp cutting edges from x-acto.

I just love new toys! This time I shared my great new stuff with the twins because it was time for them to make their birthday invitations.

First they got armed with fancy edging scissors.

I was quite pleased by how smoothly they cut. The fact that my 3 year old twins could use them with out any problems tells me that these are pretty nice. 

After they had cut out the front and their personalised side of the invitation it was time to try the corner punch. It was way to difficult for them to use so they quickly decided that it was not worth their time. I could use it just fine. If I ever do a project with a corner punch I'm sure this one will be sufficient. I do not normally use the ones I already have all that much. 

The next step was gluing. Anna got to use the glue dots and she loved them! I thought they were pretty nice as well. They did tend to stick to your finders so if you use them for a project that can not be dent at all you have to be very careful when putting them on. 

Astrid tried to use the tape runner but it was a bit to highteck for her. I really like it though so I'll be making good use of it later. 

Then she got to use the glue stick. It consistently went on smooth and did not gunk up to much on the paper especially considering who was using it. 

Anna quickly ran out of glue dots so she got to use the glue pen.

It was easy for her to squeeze out the glue and still have something that resembles volume control.  This is a big plus in my book. It did not taker her that long to figure out how to use the special tip to paint the wet glue around on the paper. 

The girls had a lot of fun making the invitations and did not burn out. They kept telling me that they were enjoying it.  

And the final result! They look very pleased with their efforts I think! 

I really enjoyed doing their invitations with them. I'm looking forward to all the many projects we have coming up in the next many years..
