Bordering on Romance - wedding invites
Well I didn't expect it to be this long since I posted again. I had another card to share but I just haven't gotten around to posting it. I wanted to post it before Valentine's day since it was a Valentine's card but things just got really busy and I wasn't too excited how the card came out anyway. I still may try to post it soon. What was keeping me super busy (besides my 7 month old) was these wedding invitations I was working on for one of our friend's sister's wedding. Somehow I went crazy and said yes to making 125 of these pocketfold invites with coloring...ahhhh! It was a ton of work but I am very happy with how they came out. I was actually able to get them done in a months period of time which I didn't think was too bad either while taking care of a baby and working a full time job. But I am super glad that I'm finished and don't have to think about which part I'm going to tackle each night. These invites were a mix of MDS and stamping. The actual invite was designed in MDS, then I printed it and colored it in with pastels. All of the enclosures were done in Word and then I stamped the flower image from Bordering on Romance and colored those flowers in as well. Now that these are off my plate I hope to get back to stamping here and there so hopefully I'll have some more things to share with you in the future. Thanks for stopping by.
Stamps: Bordering on Romance
Paper: Marina Mist, Vanilla, Lemon Tart (Papertrey Ink)

They're gorgeous. Love the colors.
ReplyDeleteHi Jen, Beautiful wedding invitations. Could I ask the dimensions and how you cut the the "envelope" closure? Is the pocket scored and adhered with sticky strip? I volunteered to help a young friend make her invitations and she really liked yours, so I'm hoping to copy it.
