Super Mario Birthday Card (or Invitation?)

My **Favorite** nephew had a Super Mario Galaxy Birthday Party this year. This was his birthday card.

 

 

Instead of a vine piranha plant coming out of a ? block, it came out of a 7 block.

 

 I used my friend's Cricut Gypsy. She had the "rivet block" (I think that's what it was called), the leaf, the 7, the circle and the < shape. I lined up the leaves with dashes to cut out from a tag cut. I cut vinyl rivets out of leftover vinyl. The plant head was cut from polka dot paper and constructed using 2 mirrored heads glued together. The vine is dark green curling ribbon. I hand wrote the message. I cut 2 blocks out and sandwiched the plant in between, carefully taping them together so that the plant wouldnt get stuck.

My original idea was that these could be invitations, but it was a little too time consuming for multiples. The envelop was a reused envelop from a previous card, I had leftover red polka dot napkin rings that I used to cover the previous name, and more ribbon to fancy it up.

You may see some decorations in the pictures re-used from Rachel's Super 25th  Party!
