Bridal Shower Invitation

I 

I got the file for the Cricut from an SVG file site

I have Sure Cuts alot for my computer.

which is awesome by the way....no buying tons of Cricut cartridges

it's about $70 for the program...but it's a one time thing and 

lets you use hundreds if not thousands of free svg files on the web and even

gives you the ability to make your own.

It comes in three pieces.  I only used two pieces.  The full front piece and then the half

back piece, which is just the skirt.  I also embossed the top with the Cuttlebug.  

I then glued the back piece to the front and then embellished the front with ribbon, rhinestones and 

sparkly tulle.

Bridal Bouquet and Boutonniere

Well, I have made my very first attempt at making a Bridal Bouquet and Boutonniere for a friends wedding tomorrow...I watched some youtube videos for help and am very pleased with the results...I only wish I would have been thinking in time to make a video of my own.  But the pictures will have to speak for themselves.

A couple of pointers that were very helpful were, one..to start with four flowers.  One for the center...probably the one that is the most open and then 3 surrounding it.  Once you have them where you want them use your floral tape to make them stay in place and then you can start building around that.  Once you have all your flowers where you want them go ahead and tape the whole stem...enough for a nice handle.  After you've wrapped it with floral tape then cover with white ribbon all the way down and back up and then secure at the top with a pin.

Leave enough of the stem that you can store them in a vase of water in the frig. if it has to be overnight, like mine do.

Right before the wedding I will cut the stems so they are just below the ribbon.

I did do a video of the boutonniere, but we'll see if that makes it on next week...it was made in a bit of a hurry....I was getting tired.

It was really fun....so give it a try.  Now I'm praying that they make it until tomorrow afternoon.
