AW: Been MIA lately... trying to get stuff done... Invites

dbraulik

Sarack- Here are the invites.














All homemade. I used paper from JoAnns (5 for 95 cents). I couldn't find polka dot invites in our colors so I got some stamps and made them. I printed the circle sticker on the front with our monogram.  They cost me about 46 cents each to make (plus printer ink).   So far I'm getting really good feedback on them. No one can believe I made them. Gotta love that!

Very cool!  Lots to look at, but it's not overwhelming or cluttered.  I love your designs and that you were able to pull it all together!

Awww. Thanks guys. Like most of the stuff we are DIYing... they were a labor of love.

I made 67 of them. It started out at 55... but then FI kept adding...

Actually what I meant is that like all of us Knotties... when we DIY it's a labor of love. Not that they were so hard or complicated to make.

you did a GREAT job I wanted to do epics liners. Would you mind telling me how much and where you got them printed. Just at home? What reaction are the liners getting? I am on the fence so thanks for the help and I too LOVE LOVE the way you addressed the envelopes

I just printed our epic out on the laser printer at my office. Nothing fancy.   Probably helps because I knew it was going to be black and white. I used a clear plastic report cover to make a template so to speak. I laid the envelope on it, drew a line around the envelope, then cut the report cover in the shape of the envelope (1/2 inch smaller at the envelope flap (that's how thick the glue stripe is)). Then took my stack of photocopies and used the template to draw a line on the copies, then cut them out.  And used rubber cement (just on the flap part) to put them in the envelopes a smidge under the glue strip/flap.

The liners are a huge hit! That is the number one thing people are commenting on. How unique it is. And that it's a great picture.
