Liza used the “cut to length” feature to fit the branch cut to the tag. She pressed the “fit to length” key and changed the size to 4" – the Cricut Expression did the calculation and told her to cut the branch at 2".

1. Cut the shapes listed at left from your desired cardstock and/or patterned paper. When cutting the <mdtp2-h> shape, use your Gypsy to widen the image to 4 1/4”.
2. Round the top corners of a 4 x 1 1/2” strip of cloud paper and adhere it across the top of the <mdtp2-h> cut. Add a 4 x 1/4” strip of brown cardstock below it.
3. Print the invitation details onto white cardstock and round the bottom corners. Mat it onto a 4 x 3" block of green paper, round the bottom corners of the block, and adhere it
below the brown strip.
4. Ink the edges and assemble the <Owl>(Accessory) and <Owl>(Accessory)(Shift) cuts and adhere them along the brown strip.
5. Assemble the <Bird1> cut on the left side of the <Owl>(Accessory) cut. Color in the beak and legs with an orange marker, color the eye with a black marker, and add a jewel to the flower.
6. Place an eyelet around the hole at the top of the <mdtp2-h> cut and loop pink ribbon through it. Slide the invitation into a vellum envelope sleeve.
