So let's start with what you'll need.
Paper cutter
3 Different pieces of card stock
Black yarn or string
Martha Steward around the page spider web punch
glue gun or glue stick
spider punch
spider rings
Not all of these are really necessary, they just add a little flair.
Cut the black card stock to 6 3/4"x5". This makes sure that the spider web punch is even around the page. Start with the corner punch and do all four sides.
You will use the corners as a guide for the side punch. The package says to line up the corner punch with the design on the side of the punch. I found it easier to turn it upside down and match it up that way. With this size there will be two on the top and bottom and 3 punches on each side.
My measuring was perfect hence the bit on the bottom left of the picture where there is a gap between the punches. However, once it's all done it will be so cute you'll hardly notice it! Not to mention I don't think that the kids who get them will really notice either!
Cut the plan colored paper you choose to fit just inside the border. The the patterned piece of card stock will fit just inside the accent paper. I used 1/8" boarders for each piece.
Glue each cut piece to stack like this. I did learn that glue stick is a bit easier since you can slide the paper around to make sure that it is centered.
You could just write your invitation on here or even put the top page through the printer before gluing it. Before I wrote my invitation I used a paper punch and punched two holes in the bottom of the page. Through this I tied a black piece of yarn, added a name tag (made out of the patterned card stock) and a spider ring (I got the pack at the dollar store).
This is when I wrote my invitation, you know the regular who, what, when, where and RSVP.
I put them in plain white invitation envelopes and cut out some spiders from card stock for a little confetti when the kids opened it.
Aren't they just adorable?!?! I just love crafting! Of course there is a TON of black paper pieces all over the floor and my poor vacuum cleaner sucks up more paper than anything else. At least the hubbys not home since little pieces of paper all over the floor drive him crazy. Men totally don't appreciate the crafting like we ladies do!
Until next posting! Happy Crafting!
