Nerdy Thirty Invites: How To

My twin sisters are turning 30.

I saw these adorable invitations over on eighteen25. 

I decided I wanted to try to make my own version...

Here is what I came up with: 

(Envelopes are pictured below)

How To: 

1) First You will need the library card and pocket template. I used the free template provided by Creature Comforts. Go here to get the free downloads! 

2) After getting the wording on my card template just right, I printed them on thicker cardstock to get the true "library card" feel. I made the library pockets using a thicker cardstock as well. 

3) I then printed basic labels that said "Nerd Party" and cut off the ends... just stick them on! 

4)Next, I used this Cricut template to cut out the glasses. Once they're cut, I just hot glued them on.

5) Lastly, I needed envelopes. After looking at stores and online for the correct size of envelope I decided against it (it was surprisingly expensive). I went ahead and made my own. I had an envelope from a greeting card that was the perfect size. I just took it apart and traced it onto paper. Kind of like this tutorial here.

The best part? I spent $1.99 total on these invitations (for the cricut cartridge). Everything else I already had!
