for today, i have an invitation i re-created recently for a sleepover party. this design is particularly fun since you can design the pillowcase to match the occasion or honoree and the invitation takes on a personal feel. here, the party was an overnight at the zoo, so i went with a wild animal theme. some details on the pillow insert include the ticking pattern printed with the words, slight trimming to give a bit of a lumpy shape, stitching drawn on the edges and a tag for the rsvp--not to be removed under penalty of law! to make the pillowcase, i scored and trimmed it first into the shape below with tabs for sticking it together...
i used eclipse masking tape to get a crisp edge on the leopard "hem" and a straight edge to add the marker "piping", followed by random stamping for the main section. after folding and securing the edges, i free-cut a wavy edge for a little pizzaz where the pillow peeks out.
here's the original, with a girlfriend's sleepover theme and a blue ticked pillow--the possibilities are endless!
thanks for stopping by!
