Steps 1 to 4

Making your own wedding invitations not only adds a very personal touch to one of life's major moments but it can also save you a lot of money.

You Will Need
  • Frame stamp

  • Gold ink pad

  • Pale pink mulberry paper

  • Steel rule

  • Craft knife

  • Cutting mat

  • Spray glue

  • Card blanks

  • Heart stamp

  • Cream card

  • Gold embossing powder

  • Heat gun

  • Self-adhesive pads

  • Sheets with printed wedding details*

  • Variegated pink embroidery thread

  • Small beads


What to Do
1. Using the gold ink pad, stamp the number of frames you need onto the pale pink paper. Leave them to dry.






2. Using the steel rule and craft knife, cut the frames out. Cut just outside the stamped design so that there is a border of paper around the frame.






3. In a well-ventilated room, spray glue onto the back of each frame and stick one onto the face of each card blank.






4. Stamp as many hearts as you need onto the cream card with gold ink. Stamp them in evenly spaced rows. Emboss them with gold embossing powder.






*Printing the wedding details: Choose a paper size that will fit neatly into the card blanks once it is folded in half. Use a computer to write out the details, then either print them out or have them copied. Remember that you will need to arrange the details on the page so that they appear on the right-hand side once the paper is folded.
