Here's the invitation I feel like I've been working on forever.

The picture makes it look like I punched a scalloped oval and placed it on the front and inside and stamped the bunnies on it. However, what I really did (think I took the hard way as usual), is I punched the scalloped ovals in the card itself and placed the images behind the opening. Hope that makes sense. This is the cover

This is the inside. Since they don't know what they are having, I choose the paper to be as close to what she has chosen for her nursery curtains (the stripe)

it looks good

thanks

Wow,,great job!

Just so cute!

Jess

Thanks ladies. I just loved that little bunny with the bottle.

Very nice, Lynn! You did a great job!

Pam

Thanks Pam

Oh, that invitation is just darling. I love it. Did you use colored pencils on your bunny? That was a lot of work. Did you make copies of the one card or make several individual ones? How cute. Berniece

Bernice, I made 30 something cards and this is how I made them.

I stamped my bunnies on pieces of cardstock that would fit behind the 3" scallop punch that I have. I colored them with color pencils - 60 somthing of them. lol.

I designed my invitation on the inside and printed it on all the poka dot cards - then I punched the scalloped oval on the bottom of the outside of the card (top of inside of card.

I started by placing the bunny with the diaper on the front of the card where it would show through the whole on the inside. Then I cut a strip of the yellow paper and punched a scalloped oval on the left side, to closely match the one on the card. I placed the bunny with the bottle under the yellow strip and then pasted that on the bottom of the card. Then I placed the striped piece on the left side and I cut the baby shower words with my cricut.

It seemed like it took me forever. Hope I have enough and don't have to make more - At least I have a few more colored bunnies if I need them.

I tried using tiny safety pins on the bunny with the diaper, but I decided that even though they are cute, they are a little big and would also make the card not close smoothly and don't want to have to pay for extra postage if I don't have to.

All that's probably more than you needed to know, but that's how I made my card. lol Here's a little bunny with the safety pins inserted.

OMG... You have a lot of patience to make that many. Thanks for the instructions. What a clever idea to match it up the way you did.
Do you have the small cricut or the larger one?
I have the small one. I saw how you welded the letters together that's why I asked. What cartridge did you use for those letters? ok...enough questions. oh, one more...were you sending a picture of the bunny with the safety pins when you said, "Here's a bunny with the safety pin inserted" as it didn't show up. or were you referring to the original picture. ok... enough..

This invitation is absolutely adorable!!!!!! I am going to find you when I need to make these (no more babies for us, though)

jen

I had the small cricut but traded it for the cricut expression and really love it. The Baby Shower words were on the New Arrival cartridge and were already welded together.

Yes, I thought I attached the one with the diaper pins. Guess I got distracted - lol

I'll try it again.

The diaper pins look huge in the pic but they are the really tiny ones.

Looks like everything took on the yellow glow of the background on this scan. Even the diaper looks yellow - guess this baby had to go tinkle - lol

Guess what Bernice - I have to make more cards - they keep adding to the list. lol Should have known, but ran out of the dotted paper, so guess I'll do something different on these.

thanks jen - you never know when you might need them for someone else

CraftyG. Still have a houseful but snuck down to my computer to check things out. lol... Isn't that the way it always goes. When you think you're done, well, you're not, but now you get the challenge of picking out another paper to go with your LO. That card is so cute you should just keep kicking them out with blank names and dates and sell them.

I wish I could sell them - need to badly, but don't know where to start - I'm just not the salesman.

Crafty G...Do they have any little shops or Coffe shops where someone would let you display them. I had about 40 cards I had made last winter and decided I needed to get rid of them so sat a table up at a crafts fair and sold all but two or three. I was glad to get rid of them as I just make them for something to do.

I'll have to check it out
