DIY Vintage Wedding Invitation

Hi Friends,

Today I would like to share with you the beautiful wedding invitation creation of Rita Hartsock . . .

The  5 ½” x 8 ½”  invitations were printed on 110# Neenah Classic natural white cardstock  Each card was hand dry embossed, the edges were inked and then the card was folded in half. The front of the card was overlaid with vellum printed with the Spectacular Printable’s image and a knotted ribbon. 

Spectacular Printable’s image was brought into a Word doc; the width and length were adjusted to slightly overlap the wording on the invitation. Rita was able to print two overlays per 8 ½” x 11” vellum sheet.

They are also thinking of using this same motif printed on vellum as bands on jar candles for the reception.

Thanks Rita for sharing your wonderful creations ! You are a wonderful inspiration!

Hi Friends,

I hope that your Thanksgiving celebration was all that you could hope for and more! My families gathering was better than I could have hoped for, since I had been ill with a giant sinus infection for the week and a half prior to the event. I am thankful for a very loving and caring family that jumped into the gap to bring together a wonderful celebration of God's goodness to us, without much help for the matriarch of the family (that would be me).

I have just listed a wonderful collection of digital scrapbooking papers that I’ll give you a little taste of the sweetness of the collection as a freebie here this week.

Click on the image above or Click Here and it will take you to Photobucket where the image is hosted. No your copy downloaded from Photobucket will not have a waterrnark and it will be a nice large, good quality file for you to print.

Hugs,
