WHAT TO DO
1. Print the invitation details on the white card stock in an area 3½”x3½” and trim. (Be sure to tell your guests to bring a pretty cigar box!)
2. Cut a 5”x7” rectangle from the lime card stock. Cut a 4½”x6½” rectangle from the purple card stock. Center the purple paper on the lime paper and glue into place with the glue stick.
3. Lay the white square of invitation details on the right side of the purple and lime background and glue into place with the glue stick.
4. Cut a 1½”x2½” tea-bag shape from the leftover white paper. Cut a matching tea-bag shape from the vellum paper.
5. Using the craft punch, punch 5 leaves from the leftover lime paper and 5 leaves from the leftover purple paper to represent herbs. Hot-glue the leaves to the white tea-bag shape (towards the bottom). Hot-glue the vellum tea-bag shape on top.
6. Cut a 1”x¾” square from the leftover lime paper. Staple one end of the string to the top of the little lime square. Staple the other end of the string to the top of the tea bag. Write “Girls’ Night In” on the little lime square with the black Sharpie.
7. Glue the tea bag to the purple and lime background at a jaunty angle in the area left of the text. Glue the little lime square to the invitation overlapping the edge of the text block. Place the invitation in the white envelope and write “Hand Cancel” on the front of the envelope.
