[@lindsey_28]

These are beautiful! Honestly watching your videos and tutorials on bridal things has me wanting to have an actual wedding ! Lol I’ve been married 9 years but we married quickly and small.

[@DIYAlex]

Haha thank you! All this bridal stuff is addictive! It makes me want to have another wedding!

[@latoshadickie88]

You did really well. Thank you for the information

[@DIYAlex]

You're so welcome!

[@angiearriaga318]

Those came out really beautiful, Alex!!

[@DIYAlex]

Thank you! I thought so too! ☺️

[@joyscranfield5527]

Lovely! My granddaughter is starting to plan her wedding. She is having a hard time picking a season cause she has always wanted an outdoor ceremony. Not enough time for a fall wedding, too cold natured for winter.

[@DIYAlex]

I’m sure it’s a hard choice for an outdoor ceremony!

[@KANEESHLASHAY]

Love this tut thank you!

[@mrcraftypants]

Love this! 😍

[@DIYAlex]

Thank you! 😊

How did you get the two invitations side by side on adobe? I am trying to do this now

[@DIYAlex]

You know, I’m honestly not sure! I would play around with the zoom and the view in Acrobat.

[@theresavalisno8198]

Can you do this in cricut joy?

[@DIYAlex]

I don’t think so, but I’m not sure if you can cut glitter card stock.

[@amandasilvas7521]

Is there a certain blade I should use? I tried with the standard one it came with and it cut it, but not all the way through.

[@DIYAlex]

You should use the standard blade (fine point blade), just adjust your cut settings to cut it all the way through. I have another video on how to do that if you need some help. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2ezo3yZrMd6gs0

hi I am really new from this and wanted to make it for my wed invitation. i already purchase a downloadable from etsy, my question is what is the best or better cardstock? I really have no idea at all. I wanted a burgundy one but Not sure if i need to get the plain white one and then have the cricut paint the cardstock burgundy or is it better to get a burgundy cardstock. and i dont even know the kinds of cardstock.

[@DIYAlex]

So the problem with burgundy cardstock is that most colors aren't going to show up when you print. I recommend using a lighter colored cardstock and having your printer print the burgundy color you're looking for.

[@kateabrera2220]

@@DIYAlex Thank you si much.

[@lisae9498]

Is there a way you can/could get these to print with the cricut explore? Wanting to do this more with the RSVP cards so much cutting! Thanks love your tips and videos!

[@DIYAlex]

Yes! You just bring the files into Design Space as PNG files and make them as a print then cut project. Let me know if you need a link to a print then cut tutorial!

[@lisae9498]

DIY Alex what if they have already been printed? Can you skip the print and just cut?

[@DIYAlex]

Unfortunately the Cricut needs to read the registration marks to print and cut, so you have to do it from the very beginning. I recommend using a paper trimmer to get it done as efficiently as possible ☺️

[@thatcrackr]

My sister has the cricut crv001 I’ve never used it but I am getting married and would love to make my own invitations to save money as I’m a first responder and don’t make much. Am I able to make invitations similar to these on that machine?

[@DIYAlex]

I’m not familiar with that machine! I don’t think that’s a Cricut. But in this tutorial I actually just cut the invitations apart using a paper trimmer, so you don’t need a Cricut at all for this part ☺️

[@ashleycrum1873]

What blade did you use for the envelope? I’m wanting to make gatefolds for my Halloween wedding.

[@DIYAlex]

I used the regular fine point blade.

[@karlacastaneda9120]

Hello! I wanted to know if something like this can be made with a silhuette cameo 4?

[@DIYAlex]

Yes it definitely can! I don't have a Silhouette so I'm not familiar with the settings you would need, but I'm certain you could do it.

[@childofours2011]

What lap top are you using? I’m in the market for one and want to make sure it works with Cricut

[@DIYAlex]

I have a pricey gaming laptop because I edit videos so I need a lot of extra stuff! I'm not sure what current laptop models are available, but here are a few recommendations for helpful features in whatever laptop you choose: The higher the processor, the faster your laptop will be. You can look up a chart comparing processors online. Internal RAM space should be as big as you can find within your budget, and store your files/fonts on an external hard drive so they don't take up all your memory.

[@stephaniejade8080]

Hi. How long does 1 take to complete cutting

[@DIYAlex]

This design took around 30 minutes.

[@staceymarshall5659]

Thanks Alex how much does it cost to make each invite xx

[@DIYAlex]

Honestly that's going to vary a lot. You'll just need to add up all your materials to tailor it to you project.

[@lindseyremington5518]

what # of cardstock do you use for the "laser cut" fine detail invitation/envelope?

[@DIYAlex]

I used 65lb!

[@240nadine]

Good day can you print it out on a silhouette cameo 4

[@DIYAlex]

Hi Shelly! Yes you can. I'm not familiar with the software, but the concepts are the same across the board.

[@skyglads7220]

Where did you get the card stock from?

[@DIYAlex]

The white cardstock is from Michael’s and the glitter cardstock is from Hobby Lobby.

[@mariannetineo7341]

How long did it take to cut?

[@DIYAlex]

It's been a while, but I believe it took 35-45 minutes!

[@samuelusamorian733]

What paper your using pls

[@DIYAlex]

The white is 65lb cardstock and the glitter is glitter cardstock from Hobby Lobby. I'm not sure what weight it is.

[@workker4129]

Hey lady, you are very beautiful and smart ...

[@naovsky]

Can you do this on cricut air?

[@DIYAlex]

Yes!
