A Jelly Bean Project

I am working on an invitation right now. The wedding invites are on hold for a few days because the bride has moved the wedding back to February. Well, anyway, to day I thought I would give your the step by step directions to the Jelly Bean invitations that I have been working on.


The picture above is a piece of purple card stock that I bought from Hobby Lobby. It was cut at 8"x6" and Scored at 4".

This next picture is a piece of Paper Studio Paper (also bought at Hobby Lobby) that has been cut at 6 1/4" x 8 1/2".

Next, cut a scrap piece of cardstock (thick in texture) at 4 1/4" x 6 1/4". Place adhesive on one side. Then line it up with the designer paper.

Now, place adhesive on the other side of the scrap square. Fold the designer paper over. It should look like the picture above.

Now, take your purple 8x6 paper that you scored at 4" and fold it in half.

Cut out your Jelly Bean shape. I actually made a template that I used to cut my out. I just used some cheap white card stock to make the template.

Next, I used some pop dots from Hobby Lobby. I cut 2 pop dots in half. I place it on the the four edges of the jelly bean. Attach it to your designer paper square.

Once you have assembled your Jelly beans, Cut out on your Cricut the phrase of saying that you would like on your invitations. Feel free to stamp your images as well.


Here is the finally product. I hope that you feel inspired with your next invitations. Leave me comments and let me know what you think. I love to hear from ya. Happy Stampin' & Scrappin'!
