These are the invitations/announcements I made for my daughter's first birthday. I just used stock library heart patterns and then welded them together along the one side. The inards of the hearts didn't really like to cut out very well. I replaced the blade during it, and that was better, but I think the real culprit is that my Pazzle mat had seen better days, and I couldn't wait for a mail-order mat, so I bought a cricut one, which I believe to be a near waste of my $10. My cardstock wouldn't stick to it. So every time the blade went to cut out the intricate designs, it would shift the cardstock over, in turn ruining another invite.Lesson learned: Pazzle mats are better, and make sure to always have a few on hand!Oh, the embellishment hearts are either the inside of the cutouts, or the long-skinny ones were cut using a Sizzix Die cutter.
