Homemade Wedding Invites & Favors

I am sure I really didn't to make invitations for our immediate families, but I thought it would be nice for them to have a memento of the occasion.

This card was made with paper from Joannes. The stamp, embossing folder and heart die cut are from Stampin' Up. We wanted simple elegance with a dash of color for our October wedding. John has a creative eye and helped me with this.

We accidentally discovered something pretty cool, if you use 2 sided, 2 color paper, the color on the back will show through when you emboss the paper, creating a very cool effect! Take a close look at the black paper.

Used the same tools from Stampin' Up for the petal cone and small pizza box. Again going for simple elegance. Used vellum for the heart with our names and date. Only change I will be making is to get more of the stamp on the petal cone and add a small gem in the flap.

If you need any dimensions, directions, or information on the Stampin' Up tools, please let me know.

See you soon!

Hope you have had a wonderful week!
