What do you do when you need a lot of invitations completed in a very short time? If you're me, you begin an assembly line process.
The first step is creating a prototype card to determine all of the pieces and tools that I will need. I decided to start with a box of DCWV textured cards to speed the process (no folding or adding a card front). The invitations are for a combined 2nd birthday party & housewarming party, so I needed to combine both elements, but they did not need to be identical.
The Summer Home and Birthday Cupcake both fit inside the same size circle punch. I searched through my scraps of cardstock to find pieces to coordinate with the card fronts and punched sets with my Mega Scalloped circle punch. The ampersands were cut from DCWV adhesive mat stack with my Cuttlebug. Using the adhesive paper made assembly go quicker (my husband got drafted to assist with that task). I printed the invitation details on white cardstock which was adhered inside the card. I stamped my moniker on the back & some party hats on the envelopes, and they were complete
It's not my favorite way to create, but when I need to complete lots of cards in a short period of time, it makes the process much quicker.
Enjoy the week.
What an ingenious way to feature two events. I did an assembly line for wedding invites (14o of them hand coloured and beaded....) I had the bride and her bride's maids in my 'sweatshop' Gets the job done :0) Mel
