My birthday party invites

A few years ago I started the tradition of throwing myself a scrapbook party for my birthday. I figure this way I'm ensured one birthday party that I enjoy : ). All three of the invites feature embossed flowers made with a cuttlebug embossing folder, a border stamp that alternates a flower and the word party (this stamp is an acrylic stamp by Fiskars) and sparkly flower paper that I picked up at Micheal's a few months ago. I tore the flower paper and matted it on the cardstock back. I then punched holes and set eyelets (using my new crop-a-dile punch, still need to use it more to get the hang of setting eyelets with it) and threaded ribbon through the eyelets. I mounted the embossed flowers on the ribbon using foam squares. Inside it lists the date, time, etc. I also stamped "forget the gift, just bring the you" from the same set as the party stamp by Fiskars.
