Bridal Invitation and Thank You Card From "Scrapbooking" episode SCB-237

advertisement

When opened, the invitation reveals a photo of the happy couple. A photograph is color copied onto vellum -- which provides a glimpse of the writing underneath. Adding the copied photo is a clever way to add greater personalization to the invitation. When the vellum photo is lifted, the invitation to the wedding is revealed. A matching envelope is easily created with a die-cut machine, the use of coordinating paper, complementary colors and embellishments. This clever thank-you card features a pull-out streamer of hearts, tying in to the card's "heartfelt" message.  WINDOWS MEDIA VIDEO A handmade invitation, envelope and thank you card are personal keepsakes that will live on in the hearts (perhaps even scrapbooks) of your guests. To learn how to create them, watch this video.
