Wednesday, October 24th, 2007

This stylish wedding invitation idea is shown here in two different colour schemes burgundy/cream and ivory/white. These invitations are quick and easy to replicate which is good if you have a lot to make and of course they have that luxurious look that is a must have for the invitations to your big day!

Burgundy Heart & Rosebud Wedding InvitationIvory Heart & Rosebud Wedding Invitation

To make these cards you will need:

  1. Woodware super scalloped square craft punch
  2. Sticky foam pads
  3. Hi-Tack original all purpose very sticky glue
  4. Wedding invitation peel off stickers in either gold or silver
  5. Plain inserts for A6 cards in either cream or white (optional)
  6. A6 cream or A6 white card blanks
  7. Pearlised cream / ivory / white card
  8. 2 cm padded material hearts
  9. Ribbon rosebuds
  10. Ribbon bows

Directions:

Take the Woodware super scalloped square punch and punch two card squares for each invitation you need to make (use cream card for the burgundy/cream design or white card for the ivory/white design). Attach two scalloped squares with sticky foam pads to the front of each card blank, positioning them as shown in the pictures.

Use the Hi-Tack original all purpose very sticky glue to stick the material heart to the centre of the top square and the ribbon rosebud and ribbon bow to the bottom square. The glue you use here does need to be a very sticky craft glue to ensure the embellishments are secure.

Finally apply a ‘Wedding Invitation’ peel off wording sticker. You can replace the peel off sticker wording with a wedding invitation wording banner instead.

To finish the card off you can print your own wording for the inside of the card onto plain inserts for A6 cards now available in either white or cream and then once folded insert them into the card blank using a strip of double sided sticky tape or a small amount of glue along the fold line of the insert. Tip – Once your wording is ready to print do some test prints first to make sure you have lined everything up correctly.

Make all matching Wedding Stationery, simply by replacing the Wedding Invitation wording with Evening Invitation, Order of Service, Menu, Thank You etc.

Wedding Card Topper Ideas

Tuesday, July 31st, 2007

Here are four quick and easy to make wedding card topper ideas that we have put together. They are quick and easy to replicate so if you were making a bulk batch of cards like wedding invitations they are ideal. Of course you could use them for individual ‘On Your Wedding Day’ cards as well and the heart designs could even be used for other occasions too.

We have only shown basic gold, ivory & silver wedding colours but you can easily use the same designs in different colours of your choice to match your wedding scheme colours.

Below is a picture of each topper and above each picture is a list of the items used to make it. Obviously for each topper you will need glue / sticky foam pads to make them but we’ve not listed these for each topper. Click on any of the pictures for a larger picture and brief explanation:
