This document provides instructions for making embossed favor boxes and wedding invitations using a Cuttlebug die cutter and embosser. The instructions are aimed at beginners and should take about 20 minutes to complete depending on the number made. Materials needed include cardstock, scissors, ribbon, tape, and small square boxes. For invitations, text is laid out on a computer and printed before being embossed using the Cuttlebug and embossing folder. Favor boxes are embellished by wrapping embossed cardstock strips around them and tying with ribbon.

3. Invitation: After choosing envelope size, layout invitation and text accordingly on your computer until it looks nice. (We used a 5x7 or A7 piece of paper.) One common mistake is to make text too large, try to avoid that. Then print your invitations. If you have a large pile you may want to take it to a copy store and have it laser cut to save you time. Once the paper is cut down to fit inside the envelope you are ready to emboss.
4. Using Cuttlebug machine and Pebble Embossing Folder, follow directions to emboss the invitation.
10. Using Cuttlebug machine and Pebble Embossing Folder, lay half of the strip of paper in the folder. Following directions emboss the first half of the strips. Turn them over and repeat so that the whole length of the strip of paper is embossed.
