Sinfully Crafty's Featured Project

Today I begin my feature project segment. I thought about naming it the Project of the Week...but who am I kidding! So I'm just calling it Sinfully Crafty's Featured Project.

So let's get to it. The Sinfully Crafty's Featured Project for today is one of my most popular items in my shop. It's a purse invitation that can be used for a lot of occasssions, but the most popular theme seems to be Spa Birthdays. This invite is really cute and easy to make!

First you need double-sided printed cardstock or scrapbooking paper. If you don't have double-sided printed paper or would like a more custom look, just print it yourself! You will need to print on white cardstock so the image doesn't bleed through.

Next you will need to draw your template on one side of the paper and cut it out. ( I am still trying to figure out how to upload templates, please comment on my facebook page and I will email it to you)

Once you have your template, fold in three parts.

For the wording part you can type it on Word, print it on full sheet label / sticker paper, cut it our and place it on the inside of your card. Cut out to small hole to the flap part o fthe invitation and tie a small bow...Voila!

Another thing I like to add is a little peice of velcro to the inside of the card in order to keep it closed, however, do not use an entire  velcro circle becasue it really sticks together and makes it difficult to open. I cut a circle into 1/4's.

For those of you more crafty tech savy, you can cut out the invitation on a Cricut or other cutting machine, but I personally find I lose too much time trying to align everything. For me it's just faster to do the cutting by hand and then placing my wording on the invite rather than printing everything on the paper and then try to cut it on my machine. Of course, if you have a Cricut Imagine, you could use the machine to print and cut.
