Craft Paper Punch

Do it yourself wedding invitations are a great way to put a personal stamp on your wedding and save money at the same time.

With the rising cost of weddings rising every year, do it yourself wedding invitations can save you a significant amount that you can use for the actual ceremony or reception, where it will be much more memorable. Of course, you want your wedding invitations to be lovely and professional looking and with today's many on-line sources of paper, accessories, and trimmings, you can make your own invites that look wonderful.

The most important element to professional looking results when you are making your own invitations is not skimping on the materials. In fact, you can find wonderful suppliers on the Internet that have the card stock, trims, and inks that you will need to create gorgeous invitations at home that will be uniquely yours.

Card stock is the foundation for the entire wedding invitation. Be sure you purchase a high quality card stock that is not flimsy. You can find wonderful card stocks that are pre-creased in a variety of folds, including gate folds, traditional folds and tri folds, so that you can create a style that reflects the level of formality of your wedding.

Colors will range from the more traditional whites and creams to rich jewel tones and glimmering metallics. You can either print your invitations directly on the card stock or use these as the base and overlay them with vellum or parchment paper that is printed with your words, using the colored card stock as the background.

Vellum or parchment is thinner than card stock, but should still be substantial enough that it will not tear easily and will stand up to a run through your printer. There are endless varieties of these papers. Some are hand made papers, and feature tiny bits of flower petals or leaves or confetti for a romantic look and feel, while others feature pale pastel tints and sheer look so that they can be used as an overlay.

Ribbon trim is one of the most popular embellishments used on do it yourself wedding invitations. The endless varieties available will allow you to personalize your invitations to match your wedding theme by threading a bit of ribbon through the top, bottom, or side of each invitation and tying in a simple knot or an intricate bow. Grosgrain ribbon or raffia are casual, while silks and satins are more luxurious. Are your bridesmaids wearing silver gowns with the groomsmen in basic black? If so, then consider trimming your invitations in black ribbon edged in silver.

Rubber stamps and seals make it easy to add decorative touches to your do it yourself wedding invitations. Shop on-line or visit a scrap booking store, where you will find elaborate stamps featuring scroll work, flowers, bells, and other motifs appropriate for weddings. You might want to choose the initials for you and your fiance and stamp and interlocking monogram at the top of your invitations in colored ink or an unusual pattern to use as a border around the edges of your invitations. You can repeat the same pattern on your reply cards and envelopes for a truly customized look.

Embossers and paper punches can also be bought at scrap booking and craft supply stores. These small, hand held devices either punch decorative patterns through paper or create a raised, embossed pattern in the paper. Both are a lovely way to give your invitations a lovely hand made look and feel. Try punching a decorative heart in one corner of a sheer vellum sheet to allow the darker card stock underneath show through for a nice accent. You can even emboss your envelopes.

Printer ink will need to be ordered in plentiful amounts, because today's computer printers can print in almost any color imaginable, but it will make short work of your ink cartridges, particularly if you are making quite a few. You can either order several spare cartridges in the colors you will need or you can take your invitations to a copier store and ask them to do the printing for you, although you will be paying more there and may be limited on the colors and fonts you can use.

Wedding crafts, floral, invitations, etc?

First of all, thank you for looking! I would like to hear your ideas. My wedding is a fair time away, but I'm doing some preliminary planning ahead of time while I still have time on my hands First of all, what did you do of your own? Did you make your own invitations? Use wood veneer? Cardstock and a paper punch? Did you do your own favors and programs? Centerpieces? Cake? Did you do your own bouquets and boutonnieres? Real or silk flowers? How many people did you find most helpful in planning this? How many days ahead of time did you prep? Did you find that what you did was worth your time? I hear that brides-to-be begin to feel the crunch...I've read so many books about crafts, including wedding crafts, but I'd like to hear from you. Working with a real budget, real family members on a realistic schedule. Different techniques? Did you have fun?

In case it's helpful, I am hoping it will be wedding and reception on the smaller side.

I did my own small wedding, and helped a friend do her bigger wedding. Before jumping into it, see what you can find ready made, for low cost. Don't set out making 100 favors when you can go to OrientalTrading.com and get 100 favors for $50. What I'm saying is, make sure that doing it yourself really IS going to save money. Same with invitations...depending on how you make them, they could get very expensive. Flowers are tricky cuz you dont want to get them too soon, so you're kinda cramming that in last minute, even the day before. Do you want that stress? My friend (and her bridesmaids) made their bouquets and all the corsages/boutonnieres the day before. She got a local florist to make her bridal bouquet though, since that is the most important. All the flowers looked pretty good, but basic, and hers was full, gorgeous, and amazing. So it worked out really well. Her mom made the cake, and it turned out awful, so if someone 'offers' to make it, make sure they have skill! It's cheaper to rent linens than buy all the fabric you need...unless you find fabric on super sale and have a little sewing skill. Also see what you can borrow. I was able to borrow linens from my church. Basic white, but hey they were free!

So it depends on a lot of factors. What is your overall theme of the day? Another word of advice...start with a plan and try to stick to it. if you're theme is beach, don't go out and buy things just because they have a seashell on them....it gets tacky. Don't be so literal when it comes to 'themes' of that nature. You also come away with tons of mismatched clearance stuff. So just because its on sale doesn't mean you should use it.

I could go on and on and on and on ....but I wont!
Good luck!

Piecing Pattern Scrapbook

Does anyone have a pattern or instructions for making paper piece scrapbooks using paper bags, ribbon, etc.?

I want to make a paper piece scrapbook for my granddaughter. They use paper bags, ribbon, scrapbook paper, stickers, flowers, etc. Thanks for your help!

Here are some asy to use directions~

Paper Bag Album Instructions

You can use any size paper bags. I like to use 3 paper bags that measure approximately 12"x6" that will create an album around 6"x6". you can use much smaller bags to make a super mini album around 3"x3".

Check out some paper bag albums examples
Try an accordion tag album - really quick and easy to make
Looking for a different sort of project?? check out some more scrapbook album instructions
Basic Paper Bag Album instructions - Step by step directions
Materials
- 3 Paper Bags (any size)
- Hole punch tool
- Eyelets, book rings or ribbon to bind
- lots of good stuff to cover and embellish your pages

1. Take your 3 paper bags and lay them on top of each other alternating the ends.

2. Fold them in half to create a book. Notice how the three open ends each form a pocket.
Punch three to five holes along the spine.

3. Set an eylet in each hole and / OR thread a couple of lengths of ribbon or fibre (or a combo of both!) through each hole and tie off.
4. Decorate your album as you choose using a variety of papers, embellishments, ribbon and any other creative elements in your scrapbooking stash.
5. Create at least 3 large tags slightly smaller than the album itself to fit into the three pockets formed by the paper bags. Use them to hold extra photos or journalling.
