AW: Invite Mock-up PIP

in September 2012 Weddings
I assembled an invite to see what the final product would be and it turned out pretty nicely :) I definitely redesigned the entire thing; I wanted more layers to it and not just digital. 

I heat embossed the silhouette stamps so they kinda pop off the card and feel glossy. I added some pearls and bling for a little extra pop too.
I made a belly band using a design hole punch and added a sheer ribbon around it.

This is the "ensemble":

    Those look gorgeous Mama!! I love how you added things to make it your own and much more personal. They look great -- awesome job :)

    We got our invitations in kits from Michaels. I'm thinking about doing what you did and adding something else to them so they don't like so "digital" like you were saying.

    It never even appeared for me... so fun... :P

    I'll try to post it here and see what happens...

    I totally redesigned my invitation because I wanted something more "layered" than a digital image printed on paper. I still printed the wording but used stamps and heat embossing for the silhouettes; it makes them rise on the paper and look and feel glossy. I made belly bands using a design hole punch and added some sheer ribbon. I did small embossing and hole punch on the corners of the invitation as well. Of course I added some pearls and little bling for extra wow :)

    This is the full mock-up:

    This is the reception card (there will be 2 versions - 1 for dinner guests and 1 for late reception guests):

    Wrote before too, but its gone now :(

    But I love it! I love how you took details and added them to make it more of your own. I just got a few of the kits from Michaels for our wedding, and I definitely need to add to mine too.

    Yours look so great! Awesome job Mama :)

    They're super pretty!  I'm still on the fence about whether to DIY or to order it from Vistaprint.  How long did it take you to make these?

    </div><div>It's going to take me a good chunk of time to put them together. The embossing is a process; it's easy but it takes time. And with all the details, it's a timely process.</div><div>But it's exactly what I want and I like being crafty so it's fine :)</div><div>I'll just have to make myself an assembly line lol

    Oh wow, this is amazing. I love it! The belly band and the silhouette stamp is such a crafty touch. Well done!
