My friend asked for help planning her husband's surprise birthday party. I created these cute Guayabera invitations for her. The party decor will be these colors. We'll use burlap table runners and will decorate with cigar boxes and mini areca palms. I can't wait!
Recipe:
- A2 size - Kraft cardstock
- Layer 1 - Stampin Up Not Quite Navy - 4 1/8 x 5 3/8
- Guayabera was folded from a 4 x 6 ivory linen quality piece of paper. I used the cuttlebug folders to emboss them. It was hard work getting them to line up correctly, but they look so cute. The cigars are Early Espresso. I just cut them free hand.
- The sentiment was on my computer, printed on a taupe colored cardstock from my paper stash. I used pretty brown brads to add interest. The mat around the sentiment is Crumb Cake from SU. I just cut it freehand.
- I wanted to add a ribbon, but wasn't sure how to do it without putting a bow, so I took a piece of ribbon and cut it, pasting it with my ATG gun.
I really love the way this looks in person. So pretty. I hope she likes it as much as I do.
Hey girl, love them!! great job on lining up the embossing:) it looks really good. Love the whole cards and I know what you mean about using ribbon and having the urge to put a bow LOL!! Fabulous Fabulous Job!
