Workshop Scraps by Brenda: Tutorials
Wedding Favor Boxes with Bride and Groom name tags
PRINT AND CUT TAGS CREATED USING CRICUT AND INJECT PRINTER
First, I created a page of Avery "labels" using a digital scrapbooking program template and printed it out on regular printer paper.You can also use the standard Avery labels in Microsoft Word program. Choose preferred font for background monogram. Then add a text box to print name of bride and groom, wedding date or preferred sentiment. Boxed were cut from SVG file purchased on-line.
Next, I created a page of tags using the Gypsy and Cricut markers instead of the cutting blade.I tried to line each tag up visually to match Avery label template. It took several attempts because I had to keep "tweaking" tag locations on the Gypsy virtual mat until they matched perfectly to my printed tags on the inkjet.I just held printed label sheet and the "drawn" Cricut sheet of tags up together in front of bright light to check if the aligned like I wanted them to.
Once, the set up work was done, I printed multiple pages of my labels on cardstock (had to cut down to 8 1/2" by 11" to fit printer. Next, I ran cardstock paper instead of actual labels through my printer to print the tags. Lastly, I lined up printed cardstock on Cricut mat and "cut" out tags. I made 250 of them for wedding favor boxes.
Next, I'll etch 250 wine glasses. Subscribe to this site on the right of home page and you can get e-mail notification when it's posted!
