Crafting with Jinger: Invite Your Friends Over for Movie with this Adorable Card

Who doesn’t love a good movie? I think there is nothing better than sitting down with some good friends, and yummy snacks, to watch a new movie that has just come out. Recently I invited some friends and family over to my home for a movie party and I wanted to the invitation that I sent out to be something that would catch their eye. The only problem… I didn’t have a lot of time to make invitations.

Luckily I was able to quickly pull out my Cricut machine, cut about a dozen adorable popcorn images out, and pop them on my invite. The result was perfect, and I added a bag of popcorn to the invitation to really wet their appetite. If you have an event coming up that you need a fast idea for, try this, and really impress your guests!
