Agnes chose the cut at BBTB2 this week and she chose the vulture from Life's a Party.
I will be perfectly honest here and tell you, I will be the big 40 this year, so that was my inspiration for my party set.
I started with the tombstone, which I cut at 11”, and then decided to perch the vulture on top (cut at 5”). The skulls around the bottom of the tombstone weren’t part of that cut. They actually are in the section with the pirate party cuts, but that’s another great thing about this cartridge, you can mix and match different embellishments. The wording was cut from Plantin Schoolbook, set at ¾”.
The next thing I made was the invitation. I cut it at 5.5”. The brackets are actually from the “RIP” cupcake topper, but I thought they looked great on here also.
And what’s an over the hill party without a couple of jabs at the birthday girl/guy? The glasses were cut at 4” and the favor/gift box was cut at 10 ¾”.

Oh to be so young again, Karen. I'd love to go back to 40. Of course, that's when the health really started going down the other side of the hill with great speed. Maybe I should go back to 30and be assured of at least 10 good years. LOL
Love, love, love all your party goodies. I hope you have a marvelous birthday celebration.
That is a great cart for all the full party invites. You did a super job.
