But I wanted to do a cute pie diecut if possible. So, I went to my Cricut Design Studio software and did a search for pie... sure enough... hidden behind the female pilgrim in the Paper Dolls cricut cartridge was a cute little pie:
So I used red gingham paper that I got 6 for $.96 at JoAnns this week and also cut red scalloped circles with the Mini Monograms cricut cartridge to assemble the front of my invite. The details were printed inside on my computer. Oh and did I tell that only a 'few' invitations meant one hundred...lol! They filled up my dining room table because I put clear stickles for the heat lines coming up out of the pie... cute!! I really enjoyed making these invitations and the fact that they were for my church family made it even better.
So, I pulled out my little red riding hood basket and lined it with matching red gingham napkins and lined all the invites up in it. That way is was easy to pass them out after church this past Sunday. The pie social is this Saturday at 4pm... anyone wanna come? LOL!
Oh! And I am looking for some good pie recipes... something other than apple.

Wow!!! And I thought the few I fabricated was a lot. That's A LOT of cards you made there!!! Awesome job!!!
Those are so cute and in the basket, even cuter! How clever! I have made over 100 cards before (NEVER with stickles, though...too wimpy, I guess LOL!) and I know what a big job it is! These are fabulous! Joy
Thanks gals! Yep... it was alot of invites, but I had so much fun doing them!
Anne... I LOVE the pie recipes! The Grits pie especially... being from the south, I grew up on grits and sometimes forget to cook them now. This pie was great!
