For this party, I used  Sizzix dies from The Modern Surrealist collection to create party favor bracelets, favor boxes, a decorative banner, and cupcake toppers. And guess what? These are all made from fun foam and Rowlux Illusion Film! Here's how to create this fun party look:

Here's what you'll need to create this party look:

Now that you've got all the supplies, you need to invite some peeps to your partay! I created these invites with fun foam, cut to 4″ x 6″, and these printed invites, cut out and mounted to the foam. I then cut some of the sungalsses from fun foam and glued them to the invite.

I created two versions of the invitations that you can download and print right here from my blog! (just right click and save to your computer)

Now, you might be wondering, well, yeah, fun foam is cool but REALLY, is there something mom can wear when there isn't a party? I took the bracelet die and created an upscale leather and chain cuff that you can wear with jeans or give a bit of sass to a cocktail dress for a night on the town. This bracelet goes together lickety split with these new Modern Surrealist dies by Sizzix! I'll be sharing a how-to-video for the bracelet on FRIDAY. Plus, I'll have a resin necklace project with the fab Unicorn die from this Modern Surrealist collection with Sizzix so be sure to catch that later next week!

Hang out with these designers, see what awesomeness they've made, leave them some love and join Sizzix back at their blog to share what goodness there was to be had:
