Sand Dollar Invitation
This tropical invitation reminds me of the Bahama's. Crystal clear blue waters and a fresh breeze. It was made with a glossy white cardstock backing, bright blue plaid 1.25 inch ribbon, and a real sand dollar!
Supplies used:
-
Paper trimmer
-
Therm O Web Clear Mounting Tape
-
Tacky Tape
-
6.25 x 6.25 glossy white cardstock
-
6 x 6 classic white cardstock
-
1.25 inch plaid ribbon (I've used several different plaid ribbons in various "tropical" colors for this same invite)
-
1.5 inch sand dollar (you can find these great shells and more at places like www.qualityshells.com)
Assembly:
I created and printed the invitation using MS Word and my home
ink jet printer in a royal blue color. I wrapped the ribbon around the first
layer of cardstock adhering it in the back, then adhered the two layers of
cardstock together. I adhered the sand dollar to the ribbon using Tacky Tape.
This invitation should be mailed using an "invitation box" so the sand dollar
doesn't break during mailing. The invitation can be placed on top of excelsior
and mini sea shells inside the box for a "seaside" presentation.

The top layer of the invite was created in MS Word and printed on the ecru

cardstock layer, and that layer to kraft cardstock layer. I then finished it
off by tying a couple of strands of raffia into a bow.
