ok all you crafty ladies need help

[starshaker]

incase u havet seen my other thread the lady who was doing my invites has disapeared off the face of the earth. i have now decided to make my own wedding invites but dont know where to start any advice

Aw starshaker, sorry you have been let down!

Unfortunately making cards etc is about the only craft I don't do - but I'm bumping this for you anyway.

thanx. the samples she gave me were amazing so i gave her half the money. how stupid am i

I'd stick with a basic design thats simple to do. (maybe someone on here can help you out & make some ??)
Have a Google to get ideas for designs. Insides can be printed on the PC.

can you guys keep this bumped for me if any1 who would b willing and able to help me out as im off to bed. will check in tomorrow. i basically now have a £30 budget for 26 invites so if any1 could do it for that gret if not then give me some tips on what i will need

Give me an idea of the sort of design you want- I am more than happy to make up/cut some die shapes etc for you.

If you have a Paper Mill shop near you, you can buy flat card and fold your own at a fraction of the cost. Craft Creations is very good (online)but does have a fairly steep P&P cost- but well worth a look for some ideas and you may be able to get every thing you need in one go.

More than happy to help you with ideas etc if I can be of any use. When do you need them by? I might be able to sort card blanks/envelopes out even depending on what you want.

Won't be around tomorrow morn but quite welcome to give me a shout on;

i get married on 25 aug and wanted to send out my invites 3 months beforecos a lot of our family will have a long way to travel. the 1 i fell in love with was a plain white card with a burgandy square of paper then a smaller black square inside with a burgandy heart

Starshaker- I am sure I could work something out for you you that price. I would normally charge £2.50 per card but give 10% of that to my local Down Syndrome Group- but without that I think I could offer something suitable for your budget considering you have been let down.

Have a look at my work and see if you feel "comfortable with my work" and if so I can draft up a few simple designs for you.

Some of my "stuff!"

thanx so much for the offer but i went and bought loads of stuff today. i want to give it a go. so wish me luck and ill post a pic for opinions when ive done 1

If you need any help - just shout- much more personal to do your own too!

Good luck!

ok first attempt is here

honest opinions please

please

Like the fuzzy pink stuff!

Id move the "wedding" bit - either below the heart or move the heart down. I tend to go with the rule of thirds when placing things, somehow seems to make them look more balanced.

Lovely idea doing your own

Starshaker, i hope I havent offended you?

no im not easily offended. was so busy yesteray getting dress fitting trying out spray tan etc and today im having a hair trial and then going down to my bridesmaids and she is gonna do the wedding and invitation bit as she worked in a craft shop for a while
