The card size is 4"x6" on pink cardstock. I wanted to go with a pastel theme for the background colors, but matted on a dark chocolate brown cardstock to really make the colors pop. I used my paper trimmer for cutting all of the rectangle shapes, and used my Cricut with the Elegant Edges cartridge for the center shapes. And last but not least, I assembled the whole thing using my Xyron sticker machine! I wish I could be more specific about which brands of paper/cardstock I used, but unfortunately I didn't keep track. I just combed through my supplies until I found enough sheets of paper in the color scheme that I wanted, so really it's just little bits of this 'n that. Which is actually pretty nice, because it means that the only thing I bought specifically for this project was the princess stickers (the jewels and flower embellishments that you see were included in the sticker packs); everything else is from stuff I already had on hand. Yay! The insides of the cards are also simple. I typed up the invitation details on the computer using a pretty font and dark pink letters. I printed that out on white cardstock and matted it on the dark brown cardstock, similar to the front of the card. Simple, but pretty.
