Since my first attempt at paper crafts went surprisingly well, I decided to try my hand at making invites for a friend's bridal shower. This time, I went to Paper Source to purchase violet folding cards and matching envelopes, so I didn't have to worry about cutting any paper.
For this project, I also used the rotary cutter on my paper cutter for the first time. It's surprisingly easy to use; just line up the paper, pick a cutter design disk with the cut that you want, pop it in, and slide the rotary cutter once, and voila! A beautiful cut! I used the rotary cutter to make some snazzy gold velum with white polka dots pop. For the printed insert of the invite, I once again used Staples to print out what I had designed in Word onto card stock. I like to have all the parts of the card cut, printed, stamped, and ready to go before I assemble the pieces. On the left is a quick shot of some of the supplies. 
Of course, I used my new love, the double sided tape clicker, to attach all the parts together.
Finally, I used sea foam white embossing powder and the versamark stamp to emboss the flower image on the front. Embossing is such a quick way to add some texture and elegance to paper crafts. Next up, my first go at soap making! More on that in a few days.
