Ideas for card craft beginner

rainmac

Saveapenny, love the wedding invite set, beautiful! I can't really help with any tips but think mumoftwo's idea of using gold card is a good one, would this help with time?

Krystaltips, I'm very jealous of your crop o dile! Have fun

Polly, thanks so much for the heads up about onestopcrafts, off to have a look...

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!

Thanks thats excellent just need to mooch now and se if I can put fancy boxes around them
Its only going to cost about £40 to make them all

I will try ining the edge I have a lovley rich gold ink ...wonder if embossing would work? let you know later...lol

Rainmac...Yes I think the ink would help with time it took me nearly an hour just to do the peel off certanly help wih cost if it looks good
Thanks
