Spider Halloween Invitations
Our newest Halloween inivtation tutorial is for this spooky Spider in spider web invitation. Our nephew just loves this invitation. It's a little boy thing i'm sure. Give him creepy crawlies and he's a happy lad.
The spider webs on this card are made with a hot glue gun of all things, who knew that a hot glue gun was so useful. You have to be careful not to make a mess but the end product is well worth the effort and patience.

We are getting an early start on our Halloween invitation section this year.
First up this year, we hav a New Tutorial to show you how to make these awesome DIY Broomstick and Tag Halloween invitations. The little crafty broom is ridiculously easy to make. All you need are a bunch of sticks and some dried up long grass which you can find in your very own backyard. Actually, I had to head out of our backyard and into the nature reserve close by to find the dried up grass because our lawns have been in top form so far this year so no dead grass in our backyard.

Beach Themed Party Invitaions
Beach bucket invitaions
How about a beach bucket invitation for your next birthday celebration at the beach! We like invitations with simple geomtric shapes that are quick an easy to cut out. A sand bucket can be created from such a shape which makes it ideal for a DIY invitation that will not take up too much of your time.
Of course if we dedided to use a sand castle bucket shape that might take a little longer ( although it would look extra cool if we did) hmmm I think I might just make a few knife strokes an cut out 3 or so squares from the bottom of these invites, it actually wouldn't take that long with a craft knife an cutting mat.... I'll get back to you with an updated pic if I do it.
Back to the invites at hand.... take a look at our tutorial for our Beach themed invitations and see if you might like to give them a try to make your own invitations.
Happy invitation making...
