Here's a few invitation ideas we made at the store. We mainly deal with invitations and announcements. But many people who have never visited our store think we're just your normal stamp store. It's actually paper crafting, book binding, stationery, children's gifts, lots of cardstock, envelopes and yes.. stamps and ribbons galore! Here is an invitation for Miles 4th birthday!
This is an a2 tuxedo fold. I score 2 -- a2 cards and cut them at an angle, corner to corner and taped them together. I then cut a narrow strip of 3m puffy tape and lined the bottom so i could stick in the invitation.
I used a Martha Stewart train border and punched it across and the stamp on the front is by A Muse. This is a quick and easy invitation.
This next invitation is for a bride who is getting married this summer. She's a very conservative and professional woman who wanted something simple. This is what we came up with and she's carrying calla lily's so we used this beautiful oversized calla lily by B line designs. I stamped it with a versamark ink pad and embossed it with pastel embossing powder by Judikins. Look at the beautiful detail. The bottom cardstock is stardream bronze and the printing is done on stardream quartz. I like the quartz color better than the stark white. This quartz color reminds me of the classic Vera Wang wedding white. It's beautiful.
The invitation also has a direction card and hotel information card with this. As well as a 5.5 X 8.5 envelope and 4 bar reply card envelope with the "european" fold where the envelope dips down into a nice oval curve at the end. It's a very nice presentation. The guests will sure to love this invite and it will set the tone to a beautiful evening. We print on our laser. It is so much better than printing on an ink jet. For one thing. It will never dry and another, my laser takes the heavy 110-pound cardstock. So beautiful! we'll have more fun invitations to share.
I can not believe your comments on this topic is so close to me. Thanks for sharing it made me more confident, you stand to me.
