The Reveal

Finally the reveal....

This is the card I picked!




But I made a few changes for certain reasons.




The above picture if what mine looks like.
1. I looked through my supplies and I decided to try to use as many things I already own without having to go to the store. So I used paper I already have, so obviously some paper is different.

2. She used her bow/ribbon accent on the right side. I like it better where she has it, but I didn't know how she got the 3 perfect dots or circles for the card pull on top. I tried cutting 3 dots with a scissors, but it didn't look good. So I had to come up with a card pull. So I tied a ribbon on the inner card so it could be pulled. Then I thought that 2 bows would of be too much (and basically an unnecessary waste of ribbon)

3. She used sand paper to cut a gingerbread man out of which such a great idea, but I have a gingerbread man shape on one of my cricut cartridges so I wanted to use that since I own it and sand paper would of destroyed my blade.

4. I don't have a "Your Invited" stamp, so I used my cricut for that also.


I wished I would of made my gingerbread bigger!!!!! Why didn't I do that?????? It is too late. I had to get the invites out so I just went with it. To make it bigger I just would of had to turn a dial???? Laziness I guess.



I did jazz up the back. I like little details like that.


The invite pulls out the top. I actually did a little more to the inside red card. But I forgot to take another picture of it before I mail it. So it looks better than this.



And there you have it.
