Hi from the cReative giRls who today have been challenged with the word INVITATIONS!
We all are invited to special occasions - baby shower, kitchen tea, birthday, wedding, anniversary, house warming - whatever! Do you ever have to make INVITATIONS???
So Just a reminder: We choose a word and several members of the team will INTERPRET that word, create, and share their creations!
Lets see how the creative girls got on with this challenge!
Hi from MadDi, - the Queen of Easy Peasy, who at the last moment realised I had to make some invitations for my niece's farewell party. I started with Microsoft Powerpoint!
Using Word art you can do marvellous things but I kept mine real simple.
I printed the invitations as 'handouts' 6 to the page (very economical), on card board coloured cardstock.
Then I cut out the invitations, inked the edges then attached them to fluted red cardstock (corrugated paper) punched a hole and attached some twine. Finally I attached the Welsh flag. SIMPLE!!!
I was amazed that this was about a 2 hour project to make 30 invitations!
Hi from Caz
When I got married last year, I wanted to make my own invitations. And luckily, when I was still in the planning stages, I had a Scrapping Weekend away with some awesome, talented ladies who lent me their mojo and helped with the design.
I found the most gorgeous vellum in a bargain bucket, and snapped up as many sheets as I could. I cut a template out of some stiff card and set about cutting all the pockets. Each sheet made 2 pockets.
The invitations were created in WORD, using a table and it took a little while to get the spacing right so I went through a few sheets of paper. But I did use both sides and even occasionally more than twice!
Each invite was printed on a sheet of A4 and had to be cut out, scored and folded. The edges were then inked, and finally they were popped into the pockets.
I also made a little info sheet, with hotel and train details on, and the order of service sheets for the day.
It was great fun but also hard work!
Thanks for visiting us and love from the cReative giRls X
