With the help of a Crafty Cousin, and a Zazzle inspired design, we made just about the cutest baby shower invitations you've probably ever seen. Handmade to imperfection.
This one won't be a How-To, just more of a proud boasting of our accomplishments, LOL!
I just hope they arrive in the mailboxes in the same shape that they were sent. The little bit of wheat is a little bulky, and I know the mail processing machines are angry, hungry beasts that make their meals from practically anything. I've had totally flat cards come to me mangled and torn.
This was my first foray into distressing, and I'd like to thank TwoPeasInABucket and their video on YouTube for making it less intimidating. My favorite details are the two brads holding the top invite badge in place. This means less sticky dots were used, since literally EVERYTHING else on here was glued down using them. I'm a big fan of the burlap ribbon my cousin picked out. It adds a nice texture to the whole invite.
All in all, I think we can now go into business.
JUST KIDDING! These were a labor of love but they really only took about 4 hours to make about 20, from start to finish. That included the deliberation time we needed to figure out our layout and addressing envelopes.
Let me know what you think, and feel free to ask me questions.
