Easy DIY: Pokeball Invitations

With his 9th birthday coming up, my son picked Pokemon as the theme. So the first step was to make invites. 

There are some fun invitation ideas out there–personalized Pokemon cards, pull-out Pokeball cards and pop-up Pokemon invites, but I decided to make Pokeball pop-up invites.  

I used my Silhoutte machine to cut out the card but you can easily do it by hand. (Mmmcrafts has a clear explanation how to do it with a compass.) I used a Fiskar circle cutter to make the smaller circles.  I printed out various Pokemon images I found and cut them out. I used a paper spring to attach the Pokemon but you could use foam tape.   You can either write out your party information or print it out and cut it to fit.
