Lisa + Billy DIY CD case invitation

Here is the awaited post of how I put the cover of my invitations together.

Materials you need:


- CD Die cut. We got ours from Stumptown Printers
- glue gun
- Therm O Web Memory Tape
- Martha Stewart Sparrow Punch
- 1/4" ribbon. I used a double sided satin ribbon from Paper Source
- Black cardstock
- A rubberstamp. I used a polka dot one because it was apart of my wedding "theme".
- A bone folder that you can also find at Paper Source to help with the keeping the folds down on your cd case.
- Hemp twine. I purchased mine at at Hemp Basics
- A white pigment ink pad.



Top: 1, 2
Middle: 3, 4
Bottom: 5 and 6



(1)
I wanted to add color to the invite so I added a ribbon for my guest to pull on so that the suites of my invitation would come out of the pocket. This is optional. On the top flap half way and about 1 inch from the edge, I used a glue gun to keep my double satin ribbon in place.

(2)
Fold all edges on the cd case using a bone folder to help with the creases. Apply gun to the edges. Work on each side one at a time because the gun does dry pretty quick.

(3)
This is what it should look like when you are done with gluing down all the sides.

(4)
I had this beautiful empty canvas and wanted to add a little something to it so to tie in the bird and the polka dot theme, I stamped using a polka dot rubber stamp with white pigment ink pad on black cardstock. Make sure when you stamp on a large rubberstamp and even small ones to ink upside down. This will allow you to see what you are inking and to not over ink the ink pad.

I use the Martha Stewart Sparrow punch to punch out the card stock. To glue on the punched bird I used this amazing tape called Therm O WEb Memory Tape. It is amazing!!!

(6)
This is what the the finished product looks on the inside..


In order to keep the invite closed I used a yellow twine to tie it all up and Voila!

  8. Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your
    point. You clearly know what youre talking about, why throw away your intelligence on just posting videos to your site when you could be giving us something enlightening to read?

    Do you ever run into any browser compatibility problems? A number
    of my blog audience have complained about my site
    not working correctly in Explorer but looks great
    in Firefox. Do you have any recommendations to help fix this
    problem?

  12. 7 inches wide, the nexus 7 is compact enough
    to slide into a jacket pocket. 1 tablet cannot handle DVD
    discs directly without DVD drive. If there were
    dual cameras or a rear facing camera you could center things and get accurate photos.

  17. S Voice has been advertised to do certain things Siri couldn't, like launch a camera app or a voice recording app, however I don't think I was able to get
    much out of S Voice. Equipped with the latest 3rd generation Intel Core series processors, a wide selection of ports, and
    up to 15 hours of real-world battery life, the T430 is one of the best
    business notebooks of 2012. 99 for a 5 GB
    limit, and 5 cents for every additional MB that is used.
