Day Invitations Finished! *Flash*

They are amazing, I cant believe you made them yourself. Clever clever girl x

**WOBBLES**

They look fab !

Well done !! x

I second that Vebec! Please could you give me instructions and website tips and talk me through it slooooowllllly as if I was a child. My brain it no work so good after three children and I have boggled myself trying to work out how to do them.

Thank you and well done they are so beautiful!!

They look great wish i was creative!

Me too - lol. It's the card sizing that I don't understand??? We have the same printer, that's at least encouraging to know it's up to the job ?

You have done an amazing job, they're very professional looking.

They look very professional - big pat on the back for you. They are lovely ?

They are soooo so pretty...and you know Im free on that day

Thanks girls... I am so pleased with them!

I bought the orchid design from a website called Fotolia, then changed the colours in photoshop to make the background designs. Downloaded the fonts from Dafont.com I think - there are loads of free font sites out there...

I ordered the 140mm x 140mm pocketfolds and A4 card from PDA card and craft. They had matching envelopes in 150mm x 150mm and 100mm x 100mm which were ideal for the main envelope and rsvp envelope.

I then used powerpoint to lay the invitation pieces out so I could print on as few bits of A4 card as possible with little wastage, the offcuts will be used for the base of the placecards.

These were the A4 sheet designs... the second 2 pages were laid out to print double sided (this took a few trial runs on plain paper first to get right)

Be aware that when you select "A4" in powerpoint - it is not actually A4 measurements, you will need to change the sizes in page setup to 210mm x 297mm.

The sections are just text boxes with images behind them...

Then print, cut out with a guillotine and using double sided tape, stick all the pieces together!

Hope that helps a little bit!!!

Mrs C, they are gorgeous!

Which card was it you used for the invites (sparkly) ? I want that for ours but my brother wasn't convinced it would print properly on them. We've bought a couple of Ivorys (PDA as well) at the moment but I'd love a sparkly one!!

Thanks so much for the instructoins, it's all starting to make sense!

Can I double check, the first three that you have, were they all from the one A4 sheet? Can I be a pain and ask what measurements they are individually??

They look fantastic! I see a new career ahead for you, very professional.

I used Cryogen (Iridescent) - its not pearlescent but has sparkles in it... prints on my little kodak inkjet perfectly! Its also more ivory than white...

You can buy individual pieces/sample packs from PDA - I did this for my test run!!

Yes, the main invite, rsvp card and front piece were all on the same piece of A4... the invitation was 135mm x 135mm and both the rsvp and front part were 95mm x 95mm

Thanks Sherrie! May finally get out from behind my desk and fulfill my creative needs!!!

Absolutely fantastic Mrs C!!! Completely worth the wait Im sure you will agree!

I've got the sample pack at my brothers at the min, thank you, I will ask him to have a look at it. We had sparkly paper for our STDs and I'd just love to have it for our invites as well!

Thank you ?

That's a great help, thanks alot.

They are gorgeous!! You're so clever to have done all that yourself!

Love love love your sparkly paper!! x

They look so great, loving the sparkles! Might look into making my own for the second wedding we're having now that you've made it look so easy!

Bet you don't want to give them away now!

xx

Absolutley brilliant job!

Congratulations, they look fab. Great photos too ?

They're gorgeous xx

They are amazing!! Well done!!

Wow. Wish I had stuck to my guns about making ours, but then again they would proberly be crap.

Wow they look fab and so stylish. Wish I hadn't gone out and bought the stuff to make mine cos then I could have paid you to do it! I don't have powerpoint or photoshop and my printer is crap so I am not looking forward to doing mine ☹️

They are absolutely fab!

They look very very good. I wouldn't have believed they were homemade!
