My husbands partner is getting married in Vegas in July and they asked me to make their wedding invitations. I thought I would design something elegant and simple..
The Card stock is actually from Staples 110lb Ivory (only $14.99 for 250 sheets!!)and its very nice and heavy and accepts the cuttle bug embossing folder very nicely. Only problem is the cutting and scoring for the gate fold! Bought a score pal and it helps a lot but still a lot of work!
The top and bottom is Birds and swirls leaving the center blank for scoring. (Only wish the cuttlebug folders were wider and longer!)
The band is in GP white 110 lb cardstock ($5.99 wal-mart) to break up the ivory and tie in the white inside with the wording. I used a strip of tacky tape and clear glass micro beads to pretty it up. The heart is punched with the new marvy scalloped heart punch and it is then embossed with the swiss dotes folder and popped up for dimension with pop dots.
The inside is just white typed "wedding invitation details" and the reply card matches this front with the popped, punched, embossed heart.
ALOT OF WORK!! and I have the make 100 of them by the end of the month!
What do you think? Comments appreciated-I hope its not too plain and blah-- pictures don't really do it much justice though- I think they are elegant- TFL

I love it!!! My son is getting married in August in Alaska and I need an invitation to the rehearsal dinner. I love my Cuttlebug and am looking for ways to use it more. I don't seem to find the fancy heart die cut. Which set is it from? Thanks for your creativity.

Stunning! This is absolutly gorgeous. Do you mind if I case you somewhat? I have a different folder and heart, but I love your layout. I need to make a card for my nephew and his bride to be!

I don't think it's too plain at all! I really quite like it! I think it is great that you used two different textures for the heart and the face of the card. I never know what to do with the glass beads, that is a perfect idea! I wish my Big Shot would make impressions as great as that! You did a great job!
