Invitations

This week Nilda has asked the Design Team to make Thanksgiving Dinner invitations for The Cuttlebug Spot. Now this one really stumped me! I don't usually make dinner invitations. If someone gets ever so lucky for me to cook them dinner, they get invited by telephone....LOL!

I had sat down at my craft table several times throughout the week, and nothing was coming to me....ugh! I was beginning to get really nervous thinking I wasn't going to be able to create anything to turn in this week. Then last night, this vision came to me....yep....no joke!

the vision

I started with a 5x5 scalloped flat card. I inked the edges and spritzed it with Glimmer Mist, then ran it through the Cuttlebug with the Swirls embossing folder. I cut a piece of cardstock 4.5x4.5, ran it through the Cuttlebug with the Textile embossing folder, then inked the raised design and adhered it to the card base. I printed the information on a neutral cardstock, then cut it out using a Spellbinders Lable 2 die. You can also use those in your Cuttlebug.

For the bouquet, I took a length of cardstock and rolled it up, gluing the bottom. From the top, I cut strips going down. I rolled up the strips to make paper tendrils. I cut the leaves using the Cricut Create A Critter cartridge, inked them then adhered them in the center of all the curled up strips and adjusted them until I liked the way they looked. I cut different size flowers also using the Create A Critter cartridge. I inked them and also embossed them using the swirls and swiss dots folders. Curled them up a bit, added some gems, then adhered them.
