Make Bridal Shower Invitations with a Ring Charm
Now
how gorgeous are these homemade bridal invitations. You can use this idea for
engagement invitations as well. I don't know why I never thought of
using a faux diamond ring as an accent for an invite before now. Thank
goodness Candice is here to show us how to make these bling invitations.

Make the invitation
I cut the circle and scalloped circle from the Cricut Accent Essentials cartridge. I can't remember the exact dimension of the circle and scalloped circle , but my guess would be that the scallop was cut at 5 1/2"and the regular circle at 4 3/4".
I found the little faux diamond ring at Meijer in the wedding department. You could probably find them anywhere that sells wedding supplies. I think they are meant to go on top of cupcakes, but worked perfectly here! I cut a small slit in the fold of the card and ran the ribbon through and then slipped the ring on and tied the knot to secure the ring at the front.
For the inside I printed the info on white paper and glued it in. The ribbon has a double purpose and works great on the inside to hold the registration cards and map.
