Hand made invitation help needed

LilDevil

I was going to make my invitations and have found the perfect picture that I want to use (2 cats with tails in heart shape!).

Anyway, I wanted said picture in a gold peel off sticker format (like the 'wedding' words sheets - iykwim), but can I find any companies that will make them - at least I can't seem to find any in all the internet searches that I've done.

I think if I had the invites printed, it might cost too much, so wanted to use stickers instead!

It could be that I can't see the wood for the trees, but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

You can make your own by buying gold sheets at 25p from here...

Thanks for this, looks like my creative skills will be sorely tested!!!

PinkLipgloss

Good luck!

Let me know how you get on - I am also planning to make my own invitations.

Could you find a similar design as a rubber stamp and then emboss it in gold?
It might be easier than cutting them all out.

PinkLipgloss

I agree a rubber stamp would be much easier - however I doubt the OP will be able to find one matching the exact picture she has in mind.

Perhaps she could take the picture she has to a company to make a custom made stamp?

LilDevil

Thanks for your ideas guys, yes, I think a stamp would be much easier (I was dreading the fiddly cutting out bits!!), I vaguely remember seeing on some websites about sending in a picture if there wasn't anything to suit, but can't remember which one it was!!!!

Off browsing again.....

I found this on ebay

which is for an 8x10cm rubber stamp sheet.

It's not exactly cheap but you might be able to get the wording on there as well. They might be able to do something smaller for you as well it would be worth asking anyway.

I got my invitation wording from here

he was really helpful and sent me a proof first to check it was what i wanted. It was also a lot cheaper than I could get them in the UK and delivery was really quick. I paid about £1 per word from memory. They were unmounted so postage was just a normal letter rate.

Just found this:

They don't have their tails as hearts but its really cute. You could maybe put a heart gem over where they cross. Could be a good backup if you can't source exactly what you are looking for. I have bought from this seller and the stamps have all been great.

That's soooo cute!!

Thanks guys, you've given me loads to go on!! My colleague has also been having a go at some designs and I've now got too many to choose from!!

Still, better than no idea at all
