Picture frame invitation

Hello everybody!! Spring is just around the corner…and if you are a bit like me..you are dying to get your seedlings and your garden party started!!! Today I bring you a little tutorial how to create an invitation using Stamping Scrapping & anaRydesigns die cuts made by Spellbinders, Gilli Stamp, Grand Calibur,
& the Scor Pal 
For this project you will need (or equivalent of)

• Anglaise die cut
• Frou Frou tags die cut
• Gilli Florist stamp
• Stamping Scrapping Design stamps Frou Frou
• Stamping Scrapping Design stamps Lacey circlers
• K&Comapany paper (pattern)
• Basic Grey Paper (green)
• Copic marker and Copic multiliners
• Classic circle large die cuts from Spellbinders
• Grand caliber die cut machine
• Score Pal
• Memento Inks (Tuxedo Black and Pear Tart)
• Stikles
• Glue
• Twine
• Tulle
• Flower seeds
• Picture of Flowers

Select an area of your photo using the classic circle die (second circle counted from the biggest die). Set aside.
Cut 2 pieces of cardstock using Anglaise die and your Grand Calibur. These pieces will serve as base for your invitation. Cut 1 piece of pattern paper with Anglaise die cut. To Create a open frame set the circle die cut (third circle size)  at the center of the anglaise patterned paper cut.
Cut the frame opening at the anglaise cut (patterned paper) with the Circle die cut. Set all the parts aside.

Using Frou frou die cut, cut a piece using green paper. Cut a white circle from cardstock using circle die (sixth die). Stamp a frame using Frou Frou stamps onto the white cardstock circle. The idea is to create a little pendant/sentiment. Set pieces aside.

Stamp one of the pieces of white anglaise cut with stamp from Lacey circle Stamp set. This will create a little frame for your party info.

Make a little sandwich by gluing the following layers:
Top : Anglaise frame (opened) patterned piece
Middle: Circular cut of your flower picture.
Bottom: Anglaise white cut
Add a little stickles around the edges and throughout the piece to taste.Set this piece aside
Write your party information inside the framed stamped on the second anglaise piece. Set aside.
Chop one of the sides of the green fou frou cut to create a pendant look. Write your sentiment on the white framed circle. Glue the circle piece to the frou frou cut. Add Stickles to embellish. Set aside.

Stamp and color your Gilli image

Cut around the colored Gilli image. Set aside.
Get together the front part of the card (anglaise piece picture frame) and the back (anglaise piece with your party info). Using a twine tie both pieces together on the left side. Make a little bow.
Make a little pouch with the tulle and fill with flower seeds and attach to the pendant/sentiment. Thread a piece of twine thru the pendant and tie to the card.
Add your Gilli image to the right side of your card.
Voila! Now you have a super cute invitation with a little memento for your party guest!
