DIY WEDDING INVITATIONS, INVITES & ANNOUNCEMENT CARDS

Ok, so my post on DIY wedding invitations (here) seemed to be a popular topic with all of you out there. Wedding invitations can become very expensive and after doing my own for next to nothing, I think that you can save ALOT of money in this area. I have been using this site SCRAPBLOG for a while now and it is a great and easy way to make personalised cards and invitations.

Here is an example from the site, save the date cards:

Wedding Invitation. Example 1
Wedding Invitation. Example 2

You could do something similar for wedding invitations, birthday invites, baby announcements etc. The site is soooo easy to use. Trust me, even my Mum could use it, well actually lets not go that far, but it is really easy to use. You just drag and drop images onto a photo sized card and hey presto, no design skills needed. They even have a theme option available where all you have to do is just change the names and details if thats all you can manage.

Here is another one that I did for Fathers Day:

Fathers Day

You can upload your photos directly to the Scrapblog server or use your Flickr & Facebook accounts. Scrapblog offers a free low resolution JPG of your work which I have found is good enough quality for printing on a 4×6inch. If you want to though, you can buy credits which allows you to have a high resolution JPG of your work which is cool too. So go and give it a try. SCRAPBLOG

Background vector came from Design Fruit. Just ungroup in illustrator and then change colour to the light green: #a3c813. I printed this background on a borderless A4 sheet of paper, then divided and cut into three equal pieces.

COLOURS:

Dark green: #768f1d
Brown: #603814

Pea Missy Cursive: Available here
Goudy Oldstyle Std

BRUSHES:
BIRDS, TREE BRANCH: brushes are available from here Design Shoot.
STALKS: Vector style stalk Brushes (shown in brown behind green bird in lower right hand corner): From Mels Brushes
HEARTS: I am unsure where they came from but if you search for “hearts” over at DeviantART under Resources & Stock Images> Application Resources> Photoshop Brushes you should be able to find something similar.

PAPER:
The paper was from Amazing Paper. And they are just that, AMAZING! I ordered on a Wednesday and my order was here on Friday morning. Now that’s service!
