Garden Party Invitations

Throw a garden party when the weather gets warm! Instead of making calls or sending e-mails, use die cut patterns to create your own Garden Party Invitations from Savannah Starr. Use a Spellbinder's Grand Calibur and flower dies for your cards.


 

Materials:

• Aleene’s Tacky Dot Singles
• Aleene’s Magnetic Tacky Dots
• Scrapbook paper, cardstock, or watercolor paper – colors/designs of your choice
• Glitter (or dimensional glitter dots)
• Die cut machine (I used the Spellbinders Grand Calibur)
• Dies (I used Donna Salazar’s Carnation Creations Flowers)

Instructions:

1. To prepare to cut your flowers, layer several pieces of scrapbook cardstock. Place dies on top (cutting side down).
   
   
    
2. Place your paper and dies onto the bottom cutting pad.
   
   
    
3. Cover with the second cutting pad and run through the Spellbinders Grand Calibur.
   
   
    
4. To emboss your flower designs, place the cut designs die side down.
   
   
    
5. Cover with the cutting pad and plate and run through the Grand Calibur.
   
   
    
6. Push out cut and embossed flower designs from dies.
   
   
    
7. Layer the die cut pieces and glue together with Aleene’s Tacky Dot Singles.
   
   
    
8. Glue in place on your party invites.
   
   
    
9. Add an Aleene’s Magnetic Tacky Dot to the back and post your invite on your refrigerator!
