Wedding Invitations

Good Morning!  I've been busy making some wedding invitation samples for a bride.  Her wedding colors are hot pink and black and she wanted me to create something with a budget in mind.  So far I made up these samples for her.  I think I like the first sample invites better, but I made the second set to show her something that would be less expensive to mail and less expensive to make.

To create this set of invites I first stamped the flower image using black ink and I stamped it all over onto a white sheet of card stock.  Then I cut up that sheet and I used it as my designer series paper.  I used my scallop border punch to punch along the bottom of the response card and I stamped the wedding day sentiment using melon mambo ink.  The wedding day stamp is from the all year cheer stamp set and I cut off the word happy so it was easier to stamp. 

On the invitation I did the same thing using the stamped card stock as my designer series paper and on this card I added some hot pink ribbon and the bride & groom's names above it.    Since this was just a sample card I used mine and my husband's names.  I first stamped the four frames image, punched it out, and then layered the ovals.  The names were computer generated.

Cards #10 & #11 out of 100 towards my goal of 100 cards in 100 days

Stamps:  Mixed Bunch, Four Frames, All Year Cheer III
Card Stock:  White, Black, Melon Mambo
Ink:  Black, Melon Mambo
Supplies:  Scallop Border Punch, Ribbon, Decorative Label Punch, Large Oval Punch, Small Oval Punch

I decided to make these as a sample because they were easy to make, perfect for mailing, and inexpensive for a bride on a budget.  I really like this embossing folder since it's not completely covered with a design and it leaves room to stamp a sentiment.  I used the forever & always stamp from the loving thoughts stamp set and it's just perfect for her wedding invitation.  I had to use my stamp-a-ma-jig to stamp the forever & always sentiment because I wanted to make sure it was stamped just right in-between the embossing.

To create the response card I used the same embossing folder and I left the bottom portion unembossed which left me some room to stamp the wedding day greeting.  Just at the bottom of the embossing I used my simply score tool to create two embossed lines.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I'll be back later with an Easter card!
