Kraft Paper Chevron Stripe Custom Wedding Save the Dates. As much as I love bright pops of color, show me something with the right combination of neutrals and clean design and I’m instantly in love. This is absolutely the case with the save the dates that Laura from Lande & Maze created for her own wedding later this summer. Laura combined screen printed chevron stripes with kraft paper with individually hand typed text for a unique, personal, and beautifully understated save the date.
From Laura: Since I design printed materials for weddings all the time, it was a challenge to actually design something for myself. My fiancé Thomas and I are planning a vintage modern wedding, with neutral colors and textures. I decided to use alternative printing methods to help stay within my budget and set the tone. Just gorgeous Laura! Photo Credits: Engagement photos by MNC Photography, product images by Becker Photography.
Wedding Invitation Recycle | primthings. DIY | will you be my bridesmaid? » Something Turquoise {daily bridal inspiration} Something Turquoise {daily bridal inspiration} I am in love with today’s DIY. It’s a very special way to ask your besties to be a part of your special day! Don’t just blurt it out… “Will you be my bridesmaid!!??” Take time to plan something nice for your friends… they are going to have to put up with your every demand for the future months. Treat them to something nice like this special box below… Pin Start by marking lines on the top of your box to create guides for stamping. Since our stamping is aligned at the right, I started stamping from the right side; or backwards.
If your box top is like mine, it might sag a little towards the middle… make sure you apply even pressure with your stamp. I always like to test out each stamp along the way… check twice and stamp once. Keep stamping until it reads, “Will you be my…”. Since the box had a slight texture to it, I had to fill in some little spots with a fine black marker. When your ink is finally dry, carefully erase your guide lines. Now we are going to start wrapping! So cute!!! Thats it! Easy DIY Wedding Programs Tutorial. Posted on April 27, 2009 by Christina By Amanda Colyer For our DIY Wedding programs, I wanted to keep it simple and inexpensive, but still provide my guests with some entertainment. I decided on fan programs — with a fun twist — after seeing some great examples on the web.
Materials for DIY Wedding Programs: - A2 sized folded cards (or card stock cut to size and folded) - Golf pencils , pre-drilled with holes wide enough for ribbon to pass through - Popsicle sticks , also pre-drilled - Scissors - Needle with a large eye - Corner Rounder Punch - Thin ribbon - Double Sided Tape Note: A2 is a great size because there’s room for content, but they’re not so big that they’re floppy. Designing my programs was a snap with Microsoft Word. I had tons of ideas for games that I ran out of time to use. Once you’ve designed your programs (making sure to fit the card dimensions), print the front and back onto the outside of the cards. And had no problems. Close the card, pressing to seal the edges.
