Hello Ladies,

 

So happy that I am finally done with these.  They were so fun to make and I am pretty happy with how they turned out.

 

I made orange ones for my FI side and blue ones for my side.  His family calls him by his middle name so I made his side with that name.  On my side and our friends call him by his first name; they got the blue ones.

 

These are the supplies I used:

1.     Metallic cardstock and envelopes from http://paperandmore.com/.

2.     Rotary Cutting Board

3.     Scoring Bone

4.     Double Sided Tape1/8 inch

5.     Eyelets and Setting tools

6.       Elmer’s Glue

7.       Double Sided Satin Ribbon

8.       Starfish Charm

9.  Corner rounder punch

I had these printed at Staples and it was really cheap and totally worth it!  The colors came out really nice.

Some Tips:

1.  If the double sided tape does not keep your cardstock in place because it is too heavy, just apply a bit of plain old glue.  It did wonders for me.

2. MAKE MOCK UPS!!!!! Before doing the real thing.  It helps, trust me.

 

So here they are, please let me know what you think:

They will NOT think those suck!! I really like the finished product. The colors are well balanced. Can I ask where you got the starfish charms?

[MrsHemmings]

Thanks!

 

I found the charms on the Oriental Trading Company website.  They also come in silver.  They have nice charms and eyelets.

 

they were really cheap too $5 for 24 charms.

they turned awesome!!!  If you don't mind sharing, where did you get the boarding pass template?  Is it a modified Carly's template?  Thanks!

[JayKay]

Wow they look awesome!

[MrsHemmings]

No, I used the blank template from ayleebits.com and played around with the design.  I used dingbats for the floral thingy on the sides (downloaded them from dafonts.com).  Using a fond for "pictures" was so much better because you can change colors and size much easier.

 

I created these in PowerPoint.
