Elegant Wedding Invitations

My friend's daughter is getting married in September.  I was asked to do the wedding invitations. Her colors are silver and pink. 

The layout was from a sample in Stampin' Ups! 2010-2011 Idea Book & Catalog.  These books have so many samples in there to spark your creativity!

Sorry for the bad pics!

The top opens down to reveal the pocket for the inserts

The "M" on the front and scroll design is embossed with silver embossing powder.  Here is a close up of the top. You can see the pearls that I added. 

I had to make 145 invitations!  Needless to say they took a really long time to make but I'm so happy with the way they turned out and so is the bride and that is what's important!

Have a blessed day!

Bridal Shower Invitation

Last week I was busy with making 97 bridal shower invites for my friend's daughter.  I found a really cute idea on Stampin' Connection [SU! Demo website] from Glenda Calkins.  She had a video tutorial which made it really simple to put together. Her purse was for a gift card holder. I left that part out and just have it as an invitation.

Pumpkin Pie meets Melon Mambo along with a not so Bashful Blue!

Friends of ours from church, Tim and Becca, will be getting married in June. When Becca asked me to do her wedding invites I agreed under the condition she enlist people to help out with the invites. A few weeks ago 5 us met to work on the base of the invites.

This past Saturday, a bunch of us gathered at my house to finish the invites. Becca, Sarah, Julia, Ashley, Faith, Mary Ann] mom of groom], Daryl Lynn [mother of bride], Louise, Sera & Nina [my daughters] and myself! We had a full house and a BLAST! These girls can ROCK when it comes to stamping and assembling and most of them are newbies!

Becca & Tim's colors are orange. So I combined pumpkin pie, melon mambo & bashful blue for the invites. We completed 120 invites. My friend Vicki did an awesome job addressing envelopes with calligraphy.

Here's Becca with the 120 invites. She wanted an invitation that was fun. I used the Circle Circus stamp set. This stamp set screamed Becca to me!

Here's a close up of the invites. I got the invitation layout idea from page 49 of the
Stampin' Up! 2009-2010 Idea Book and Catalog.
