Making Perforated Tickets With Cricut

My husband needed 70 tickets for a banquet the Masons are hosting.

There are two dinner options, and they need to know how many of each dinner is needed..  so the ideal ticket has the information on one side, to be kept by the purchaser, and a tear of section for the name and meal choice.  

For just 70 tickets, this was easy to do with cricut.  For larger numbers..  I think I'd have called our local printer and placed an order.   Doing it myself was MUCH much cheaper.  :-)  Here's how I did it:

Storage is an issue, not because it wouldn't all easily fit in the wooden stand up jewelry box shown here, but because if I put it all in there, I wouldn't be able to see it.  And I like to SEE it, even if I rarely wear it.    So I've gotten creative over the years.  Photo frames, curl holders, a cone wrapped in blue velvet ribbon that I'm certain was originally a Christmas tree, and an ornament display rack.  Here's a closer look at each:
