Firetruck Thank You Cards

To kindly thank all that attended my son's birthday party, I made the cute little Firetruck Thank You cards.  The truck was cut out from my Cricut and I used a white gel pen on black cardstock for the road.  I stamped with Sunny Yellow ink for the back and in Black ink stamped "Thanks".  Of course, I had to write the number "2" on the Firetruck for the age. 

Inside, I let my toddler write (really was a scribble) his appreciation to each person.  Everyone loved that part of the card :)  Best idea.

 

 

Getting Ready for the Party

I'm having fun getting ready for the Firetruck Birthday Party.  First step, adding the letters to these red plastic buckets I picked up at a local dollar store. 

The yellow vinyl was bought at a recent scrapbooking convention.  So I used my Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge from CTMH for the letters.  I added a layer of clear (transparent) contact paper bought at Wal-Mart on my Cricut mat, then the layer of the yellow vinyl on top of the contact paper.  Then turned the blade to the highest setting (6) and it cut the letters beautifully!

I had so much fun, I then had to decorate the smaller buckets by adding a star and the number 2. 

When we are ready for the party, I plan to add colored tissue paper to each bucket before I put the food in them.
