Pocket card invitation with MTC

Here's a project that someone else was wanted over on Cricut messageboard, so I took it as a challenge with me still new to MTC I had to give it a try. What I did was went to over to website stated (http://www.make-your-own-invitations.com/) for sample of a pocketcard invitation and template.

here's a sample picture

and they had a template for this so here's what I did in MTC.

•  After saving the image into my picture folder, I open MTC clicked on Custom Shapes
•  select the silhouette of a woman this button allows you to trace an image, a window will pop open for you to upload image
• select image, now a new trace image box will open, you will see the original picture or image in a small box and then the image you are wanting to trace will appear in a separate section, you will see a threshod with numbers allowing you to move it up or down it ranges from 1 to 255 they suggest you start @ 10 and increase until it looks good to you
• when satisfied click apply
• then accept

and you now have yourself an SVG file to cut with MTC.

final results

Measurements: Final assembled pocket measures 4¼" x 5½"
Envelope Size: This pocket fits best in an A2 envelope

Invitation Inserts: The inserts should be no larger than 4" x 5¼" in size. The pocket can hold 2 - 4 inserts depending on thickness of the inserts used.

I have not created one myself just a small one to make sure it was cut correctly, but I will be sure to make one.

INVITATIONS

Here's my first real project that I did for a friend, I had to do 30 invitations for her, boy was it a task and such a great experience it gave me the confidence to continue playing around with my cricut, with the experience the lesson learned was to do things differently the next time.

The cartridge used was Wild Card for card and envelope.
