Weddingbee boards

My best friend emailed me the day after Mrs. Penguin posted about her new Cricut with a link to the Cricut machines... she's a graphic artist, and hoping to do freelance invite and stationary design in the next year, and I offered to split the cust of a Cricut with her, if we could use it for all of my wedding stationary needs. 

Amazon had a great price, and, along with the software, we're each shelling out $120!  Totally worth it for custom invites!  And now I don't need to hand cut 50 envelope liners! My fingers are already saying thank you. 

She's creating a monogram for us that we're going to use on our invitations and echo throughout our stationary, and I'm totally excited!  As we were previosly going to look into getting a custom die cut, this is MUCH more reasonable, and we can use it in the future.

Woohoo!

Is anyone else using a Cricut for their invites / programs / thank you cards?

Oh my that is soooo awesome. I want one too...
You better post your projects...

Mrs. Ballet Flat, I couldn't even justify the cost of it for my wedding projects!  The only sad apart about splitting it is that I live in NJ and she lives in MA - so it makes our shared custody a little harder :)

She just got it today, and is going to bring it home & start playing.  Will definetly keep the Hive updated with our projects as they unfold!

I bought a Cricut after reading Miss Duckling's bee-rodcast a while back.  I used mine to make favor tags for our wooden fans and also our seating assignment cards (which I plan to post about).

There's a software program called Sure Cuts A Lot which allows you to cut custom designs and True Type fonts using your Cricut without using a cartridge.  Talk about expanding the possibilities!  I thought of using it to cut out bunches of our silhouettes, but ended up modifying that project. 

Have fun and definitely post photos!  :o)

Yay!! Another Cricut user.  Make sure to post pictures of all the amazing things you make!
