glueck, those door tags are so cute! How did you cut out the scalloped edge on the circles? Using a template and regular scissors or with special scissors?

I have not asked my bridesmaids to be in my wedding party yet...here are the cards I made for them. I was starting to do a template for our invites but I decided to turn it into a new project. I folded origami dresses using craft paper and blinged up the cards with rhinestones. The font I used for the names is based on the Albermarle Swash font that I adore.

Cute cards Sammyj! I would love to receive something like that in the mail!

As for the scalloped edges... no talent included. I bought the paper like that from paper presentation in NYC.

So here is the diy project I used to ask my 2 sisters to be in my wedding
I put pictures of me and each sister growing up and just being...sisters lol and i wrote all sorts of touching things and i got little scrapbooking items to add in about being sisters and getting married and on the last page it has a picture of me in each of their weddings and it says something along the lines of "it was such an honor to be a part of your wedding and i simply can''t imagine my day without you, would you be my bridesmaid?"

Oh Jo, those are so sweet! I can just picture your sisters hanging on to them and finding them years and years from now.


BTW-did the dress crisis resolve itself?

thanks princessplease! the cards still aren''t finished...I''m waiting until we book our venue and confirm our date (which is going very slowly) before I send them out.

Everything was done by hand, including the names. I hope that helps with your print alignment questions! Looking forward to seeing your cards.

 

[princessplease]

Kudos to you sammyj for doing it by hand!!! You''re very talented!
I took the lazy route and printed on the computer. It took me two hours to align everything right!! But, so far so good!
