Guest Blogger (Wedding Invitations by Mollie)

Hi ladies! OK I am your guest blogger today. I told Claudia that I am always up for a challenge so here goes, I have never done this before so bear with me.

My daughter is getting married in Oct. so I am going to share her wedding invitations that I am making, all done with SU materials so I am within the guidelines.

Materials:

Alwasys Artichoke CS  cut 4 x 8 1/2

Very Vanilla CS cut 3 1/2 x 8, response card was also cut from Very Vanilla, 5 x 3 1/2

VeIum is cut 3 1/2 x 8

I used the Baroque stamp set (only the large stamp) all stamping is done in Always Artichoke

1.) I started by printing all the things that needed printing

2.) I cut all the paper to make sure I had enough!

.

3.) then I stamped all that needed stamping.

Because this piece was under th velum and you had to be able to read the writing on the velum, I stamped this twice. Stamped  off onto scrap papper, first so the image wasn't so dark under the velum!

250 invitations X 2 stamps = 500 times I stamped this one! My arm was sore!

The envelopes looked so plain. I just stamped a part of the stamp in the corner. I did the same on the response cards just to give them a little more character.

.

Guess what her colors are for the wedding?

All printing I did on the computer. After all it is a wedding.

It really is very simple but when you are making 250 it really doesn't matter how simple.

FINISHED!

My daughter's future in-laws are coming this weekend to help us assemble, and stuff the envelopes! weekend!

Thank you for allowing me to share with you!

One word of advice if you are going to do something of this magnetude,

allow yourself plenty of time, it makes the process much more enjoyable.
