Flashy Flashy - DIY invites

Honest opinions hmmm.... two words - love it! ?

how did you get the snowflake effect on the top half that looks fab and is that just a stamp at the bottom with the emellishments glued on top? If so its fab - love it all! xx

Wow! One word - How?

I'm really not sure how to close them though - not much help!

Thank you so much for your lovely words, I was really stressing about them (still am re:closure)

How? well the top part that is embossed I did with my cuttlebug and a snowflake embossing folder. and the bottom is just a stamp with red gems stuck on.

Hi, i'm loving the invites, ,

R:E- closure, , , , could you use a hole punch and thread the ribbon though?

Hi

They are fab.... So professional looking. Horray for the Cuttlebug. Hope you didn't buy one just for your invites though!!!

I would just use whiet velcro dots. You don't want to add any more detail to those as they are great the way they are.

They're fab!

To close them you could use glue dots from Hobby Craft or the like, they're strong enough to hold it and wont tear the invite when it's opened.

I used velcro spots to keep mine closed. They do look fab! xx

Well done you, they look great! x

Absolutely lovely - but i am biased! They're winter invites, like mine!

Love it! And yay for PDA! We got our card from there too.

The velcro dots are a great idea, that's what I'd do. We went with the ribbon idea for ours because otherwise there was no detail on the front, but I don't think yours needs it and you don't want to cover up that beautiful snowflake design.

Self-adhesive velcro spots can be picked up in haberdashery shops or in the textiles department of any department store. Or you can get them in some craft stores. Or you can buy them online!

We used low tack glue dots from stationers. They weren't too strong to rip the card but held it together well.

Oh lovely! I've just finished mine this afternoon too - I won't hijack your thread though.

Love the snowflakes and sparklies.

They look fab ?

I used the velcro dots on mine, worked perfectly, i bought mine on ebay 50 dots were a £1 i think x

Hi

I'm new here so I hope I've posted this right!

Just wanted to say, your invites look fab. I love the stars on the flap. Makes me wish I'd done mine a different way now!

@Inspire me designs - No I didnt buy my cuttlebug especially I already had it, I do card making in my spare time, nothing much just afew for family occassions. Its my hobby.

@JudeClarke you are more than welcome to hijack - flash away!

@VP - not long now for our winter weddings, hun! hope your ok!

@at everyone else - I am going to use the velcro dots suggested - thank you so much such a simple but very effective method, thank you! (I would never have thought of it without your help!)

These are so pretty! I second (or third) the suggestion of velcro dots. We finished our invites this weekend too - so exciting isn't it?!

They look fab ?

They look blimming great x

Beautiful invites, I'm having a Winter Wonderland Theme Wedding so have added your post to my favourites to return when It's my turn to be thinking of invitations. You've done a brill job and the velcro dots is certainly the best solution. The invites are gorgeous as they are, well done.

Erm........

AMAZING! ?

They are lovely, very professional looking, well done.

I think a velcro dot to close the flap and maybe a little red jewel like the other ones in the corner of the flap maybe?? x

Wow, well done you! they look fab :-)
