How to Make Your Own Christmas Party Invitations

We’re having a small Christmas party this year and I needed to whip up a few invitations for the people who aren’t on Facebook to get an electronic invite.

I found a Christmas invitation card template that worked perfect and I already had some cardstock to use! This wasn’t the quickest project as it required swapping out the scoring wheel and the regular blade, but it was easy!

– Cricut Maker and Essentials – Cricut has lots of free designs available like this Christmas Invitation Card template that I used. – Cardstock/Scrapbook Paper: Red, Green, and Light Brown – Cricut pens – Scoring wheel “blade”

Supplies

I cut my envelopes first using light green paper.

Step 1

Step 2

If you’re making more than one card, it is helpful to have two light grip mats so you can get another piece of paper setup while the first one cuts/scores.

Using two Cricut mats to help speed up the process of invitation making.

Step 3

Step 4

Remove the paper when it’s finished by flipping your mat over and peeling the mat away from the paper.

You can now use the text tool to add your text. Make sure you have the LINE TYPE set to DRAW.

Step 5

Step 6

Click make it, insert your paper, make sure your pen is inserted, and you’re ready to go! Just follow the instructions the Cricut gives you.

You can now use the text tool to add your text. Make sure you have the LINE TYPE set to DRAW.

Step 7

Step 8

Start with your envelope and fold at the score marks. Use glue to attach the sides to the bottom piece. The top flap can be glued down (or use a sticker) after you insert your card.
