Craft Corner: The Surprise Invite

Posted by RenaissanceTrophyWife on January 21, 2009

The RTBF’s parents are celebrating their 40th anniversary in a couple weeks!

Anyways, I made these invitations for the surprise dinner we’re having, since I wanted an excuse to use my JustRite monogram stamper.  (The “P” on the inside monogram is supposed to show through the punched out circle, but you can’t see it in a couple of the pictures when the cards aren’t flat.)

The cover text and inside “shhh” were stamped, as was the monogram; the rest of the text was handwritten in gold pen.  I used a circle punch and Nestabilities to cut out the monogram and the cover circle.

There’s one card that’s different from the rest– the one with the thin red band was my first card, and I decided it was just too tricky to position the ribbon AND the strip of cardstock straight, so I made the cardstock bigger.  Hey, it’s not like they’re comparing invites, right?
