MDS Birthday Invitations

Hi!!! I wanted to share with you my MDS birthday invitations I made for my boyfriends son. He is having a laser tag party and he didn't like the ones that he got from the place, he said "Valerie can make them way better then that!" lol 
I created the targets using the circle and square punches and filled them in. I stamped his name and the 9 with the distressed alphabet set and just created text boxed for the rest! I printed these at home onto glossy CS and had 4 on a page. I mounted them on cherry cobbler CS to create the card and add the info on the inside!
