Incase you were wondering, the reason our "Love Story" is incomplete, is because I am waiting until our wedding to tell the whole story. Our wedding is this coming June 9th- so we are in full planning mode. Today, a few of my gorgeous ladies and I made the invites for my bridal shower. I know, I know, this event should be a surprise to me- but I detest surprises. So, I help! And lets get real, if I didn't help there'd be no tutorial, so it benefits us all.
So to start, let me just say that 2 of my girls own a Cricut. If you have never seen this machine, it's a godsend for the crafty folk. We used the Cricut to cut out the umbrella, and the words Bridal Shower. But, there are always ways around this. I found a ton of umbrella stencils online that you could use to cut out, and you could use a stencil to do the words if need be.
1. Supplies: Scissors, glue, ribbon, words and card. The card was printed in a regular printer from a Word document.
2./3. Glue your umbrella to the middle of the card. If you have cut out words, apply glue to the back and stick them on either side of the umbrella.
4. Apply a small amount of glue to the edges at the bottom and stick on your ribbons. Once the glue has dried, cut your ribbon edges off. Done!
Since everything was preprinted and cut, this took us 15 minutes. You could use this for a bridal shower like us, or a baby shower, with just a change of colors.
