Finally Friday: Hybrid Cards

It was my turn to share a Finally Friday video card tutorial for Two Peas this week & I wanted to try something a little different. I really love the look of all of the new digital scrapbooking kits that have been popping up in the Two Peas digi shop... but I'm not a digital scrapbooker.

I was just curious what would happen if I tried importing the images into my Silhouette & was so excited about the results, I had to share! Maybe I'm the last to know about this trick, but you can easily print & perfectly cut out these images & use them on your traditional paper crafting projects! Eek! And let me tell you, the Silhouette cuts around fine detailed shapes amazingly well.

So... here is my finished project. (The apple & leaf image are from a digital kit.) In the video, I'll also show you how to make the scalloped panel as well. There are several little Silhouette tips & tricks included in the video & I hope you enjoy it!

For those of you who aren't Silhouette users, there are tips on how to create this project by using basic crafting supplies as well.

Bridal Shower Invites

My baby sister is getting married this May! Thirteen years ago, she was my Maid of Honor as a twelve year old... and now I'll be hers. She's always been so special to me. You can read more about our story & her miraculous beginnings here.

So... the past several months, I've been in wedding mode. This past weekend, I just finished making her wedding invites. She's inviting over 300 people. Can I tell you how much I love mass-producing cards? Gag! ;) I seriously have a hard time making two of the same card... so this was a labor of love.

I also just finished her bridal shower invites & thought I'd share.

Pin It

My sister's one request was that her bridal shower would have bits of hot pink. I'm not the most tech-savvy person, so I decided to start with a digi kit & go from there. I found a whole collection of awesome fonts, images & borders at Two Peas called Pea Soup February. I loved the modern feel & the colors were spot on!

There are 23 different coordinating digi kits from this collection & I've downloaded several others to use in my Project Life album.

I combined the kit font with one of my favorite fonts - Verner - and then created the arrow out of a ding bat font that I also had on hand. I created a file for the pink arrow that you can download.

I love how the font has subtle polka-dots & arrows throughout.

Here is the inside of the invitation. I made the "details" strip using some of the same Pea Soup kit & added a text box on top of it.

The envelopes had to be cute-ified, of course! I stamped these little bathroom people from Studio Calico's new Hey Y'all set & added a heart from Lawn Fawn.
