Ideas for card craft beginner

craftygranny

I ordered a cardmaking and a scrapbooking one on saturday. I must have been lucky as they arrived this morning and both seem fine. I will try adding a pic of each later.

I think my mistake was ordering the general craft selection pack. I think this left it open for all kinds of rubbish
The card making one isnt that bad ...yeah a few things are not new but on the whole its not bad.

I have had an enquiry for a wedding
The brief was Burgundy/white-floral
She wanted something different than a normal A or DL size card
I saw Rainmac's link yesterday for a notelet holder and had a brain wave ( doesnt happen often)
Before I send the proof off will you all please give me your opinions
Could you also give me any suggestions on making a border for the white paper other than using peel off ...it took to long and with it being an order for 100 it could get expensive even at 44p a sheet


Outside and the back is the same without the wording and flowers


Invite in on the left ..does it need those corners?
Directions, RSVP, envelope and venue details are on the right

Can anyone also help me find a monagram font anything like these

Wow saveapenny, that is some invitation. And with all that stuff inside, that is a hell of a job (and money)
No, I don't think it needs the corners. Instead of peel offs you can just use gold card behind it or ink the edges with an inkpad but with that you wouldn't get a wide border, just a hint of gold.

No idea about the monogram but found some instructions on how to do your own:

Not sure if that is any good, didn't try it myself. Good luck!
