Invite Intervention - Episode 1

Ok, I'm not even at the actual invitation, just the envelope, yep the ENVELOPE! And not just any ol envelope, a handmade FABRIC envelope :)

We start w/ a roll of super cute (says me) monkey fabric, image

The we draw a template of an envelope, scan it into our nifty .ai program, adjust the curves, import it into out Make The Cut program (to use w/ Cricut machines):

Apply fusible web stuff to fabric and iron onto cardstock backing.

Then we cut with said Cricut:

And it spits out this odd thing:

Fold:

Apply more iron on glue stuff to the overlays, and voila, you finally come to terms with the fact that you have indeed become "that" mom:

    You don't actually "need"the machine to cut them, you could easily cut them by hand, I'm sure it wouldn't be too bad for a few.

  • I love them! 

     I saw that machine for sale somewhere for less than $100.  I think it was Joanne's when they had a sale along with a 40% coupon.

    HA!!!  Too funny, I think most people will agree that it is not because I am "super mom" as much as it is that I'm "crazy nutso mom", it's an illness I swear :D
