It’s A Shower!
I’m going to be hostessing a bridal shower for my soon-to-be sister-in-law in early June and was inspired by Nichole Heady’s strawberry cards that she sent for everyone at the SCS IL Shoebox Swap in late March. If you haven’t already, be sure to check out more of Nichole’s handiwork at PaperTreyInk - such neat stuff!
I made 16 of these for the fuschia and black-themed wedding. I think they are adorable! I love that the paper clip can be used beyond the shower - a practical memory of the day!
About the design: the polka dot paper is from Making Memories and the fun twinkle stickers in the center of each flower are from Amuse. All other supplies are from Stampin’ Up! including the Polka Dots and Petals stamp set I used to create these invites.
To recreate this card, cut and score at 5.5″ a 4.25 x 11″ piece of cardstock; fold to close. Cut an alternate piece of cardstock to 3.5 x 4.25″ and score at 3″. Holding your cardstock up, so that the fold is towards the surface you’re working on, affix the short side of your alternate cardstock to the back of the card; this creates a “flap” over the front of your card. Punch an opening on the alternate card stock using your word window punch. Place a small self-healing mat on the inside of your card and use a hobby blade to cut two small slits following the horizontal lines of the punched area to create your latch. Weave your paperclip through the punched area and through the latch to close your card.
