It’s perfect for kids’ parties and is an image that’s timeless for year round use. Here we used it with our For Date Time Place rubber stamp to make a folded card into an invitation, with details on the inside.

Materials needed:
Rocket Ship Rubber Stamp
For Date Time Place Rubber Stamp
1/8″ Round Hole Punch
Versamark Watermark Inkpad
Brilliance Starlight Silver Inkpad
Metallic Silver Embossing Powder
Heat Embossing Tool
Night A2 Folded Cards
A2 Shimmer Silver Envelopes
Bluebell White Dots 1 1/4″ Circle Stickers
Bluebell 8 1/2″ X 11″ text weight paper
6″ Guillotine Trimmer
Double-sided tape

Rocket invitation componentsInstructions:
1. Stamp rocket onto front of Night A2 card with Versamark Watermark ink.
2. Emboss by sprinkling with metallic silver powder, shaking off excess and setting with heat embossing tool.
3. Using 1/8″ hole punch, make holes just beneath rocket’s engine and one in main cabin window.
4. Cut bluebell text weight paper to 4″ x 5 3/8″ to create interior layer.
5. Stamp “For Date Time Place” along left side of interior layer with Brilliance Starlight Silver Inkpad ink.
6. To repeat the image on the inside, stamp a rocket along the top right edge of interior with Versamark Watermark ink. Punch one hole in main cabin window with a 1/8″ hole punch.
7. Adhere layer to interior of card with double-sided tape, and fill in party information.
8. Seal silver envelope with Bluebell White Dots Circle Stickers for the finishing touch.

Have a “blast!”
