Wedding invitations - finished!!!

I finally finished my niece's wedding invitations and presented them to her Tuesday night, and she LOVED them, thank goodness!!  Lol.  This post is going to be pic heavy, so I hope it doesn't load too slowly, sorry!  OK, here are the details.  I used SU! Chocolate Chip and Tempting Turqoise cardstocks and inks, SU! Sweet Swirls wheel stamp, Recollections white cardstock and vellum, and ribbon from Michaels.  The reception cards and invites are printed, and the response card is a stamp I found on eBay, with the SU! Chocolate Chip ink.  The invites are 7.5" by 5.5" overall, the reception cards are 4x3, and the response cards are 2x3.  Finally, the embossing is a Cuttlebug borders set.  I think this covers all of the specs, so without further delay, here are all of the pictures.  Thanks for visiting today!

The entire suite laid out:

More wedding invitation stuff

I did a couple more pieces for my niece's wedding invites, so here they are!  The first is a response card I made up, and the stamp is one I got off of eBay, with SU! Tempting Turquoise ink.  I thought it was perfect!  The flourish in the corner is an SU wheel stamp, and the cardstock for both projects here is SU! Early Espresso and Tempting Turquoise. 

This second piece is a place card I found at a wonderful site by a woman who has a Craft Robo machine, and shares some AMAZING SVG files.  You absolutely need to check out her work here.  Her name is Monica, and her site is Monica's Creative Room, and she has some seriously intricate cards, 3D objects, etc.  Please go visit her if you have MTC or SCAL.  OK, on to the actual project.  She made an amazing place card with a heart theme, so I decided to go ahead and give it a shot and see if my niece would like these.  She has not asked me about seating cards, but I figured, what the heck, I'll ask her!  So, what do you all think???

I altered it slightly by creating a shadow layer for the heart in MTC so I could incorporate all of her colors, and then to finish it off, I used a white gel pen around all of the hearts.  Thanks for visiting today!

Wedding invite - she loves it!!

Well, here it is.  I had been making some samples for my niece's invitation, and each one I came up with seemed to be missing something.  Last Sunday, she handed out her Save the Date magnets, and it hit me!!  First, here is her magnet. 

Once I saw it, I knew that I had to have something similar to the brown corner flourish in all of my SU stamps, so I found the So Swirly jumbo wheel, and I ran it across the top left corner with Early Espresso ink.  She picked out the paper colors, which are Early Espresso and Tempting Turquoise.  Did I mention these invites are mostly Stampin' Up??  LOL!  Anyway, I cut the brown piece at 8x7, the turquoise at 7.5x6.5, and the white at 7.25x6.25.  The embossing on the top and bottom of the white is a folder from a Cuttlebug borders set - but I can't remember which one!!  I finished it off with a brown ribbon at the top, and on the finished product, it will be tied through two punched holes, which I didn't do for the sample.

So, anyone who has made invitations before, I would LOVE advice, feedback, where to get envelopes, etc!!!  Also, I am going to be using Sale-a-Bration to order all of the supplies, so if you like what you see check it out over at Barb's site (she's my demo) at Snowmanlover's Paperie!Thank you for visiting today!
