Daisy Wedding Invitations

"Pretty daisy pressed paper and organza ribbon make these delightful daisy wedding invitations"

These daisy wedding invitations have been made with a pressed scrapbooking paper by Doodlebug Designs. The daisy pattern is actually raised on the paper giving the invitation lots of texture and making it nice and tactile. The text is printed on white vellum and secured with some flower sequins and white organza ribbon.

This wedding invitation looks really pure, especially since it'sall white. It's perfect for a young bride with fresh ideas and a contemporary feel to her wedding.

These daisy wedding invitations are also easy to make yourself. It’s simply cutting and securing. You can even download the template for the text.

For each card, you'll need:

• Smooth A5 white card at 250gsm
• White vellum, cut to 175mm x 120mm (once printed)

Before you start!

Buy your bits of paper and do a trial run. That way you can make sure that you’re happy with the invitation. You don’t have to create it exactly as I have. You could use different coloured sequins, less sequins or different coloured font and ribbon.

For the text on the vellum insert, I’ve used a special font called ASL Script, which is free for personal use. You’ll need to download it from www.getfreefonts.com. If you don’t know how to do this, then follow these instructions for adding a font to your computer (for windows users only). If you don’t do this, then you won’t be able to see the text on your computer.

You can download the A5 template for this insert here, but you'll need the username and password that you get when you subscribe to the newsletter. You can subscribe below. The insert is an A4 sheet with two inserts on it, created in MS Word. They’re sized slightly smaller than A5, so sit well on or inside an A5 wedding invitation (finished size). You will need to amend the text so that it corresponds to the details of your wedding. Once printed out, you’ll need to cut it to size following the trim lines.

Tips

• Do a trial run to find the card and vellum paper you like
• Try buying an economy or bumper pack of card blanks and envelopes. You can then cut these in half to make the one page card!
• Print out the vellum section using the draft or fast setting on your printer. If that doesn't quite look strong enough, use the standard setting. Be careful though, it will take longer to dry

3. Cut the vellum to size.
4. Cut the pressed daisy paper to size and attach it to the white card with some roller glue.
5. Position the vellum centrally on the invite. Use a pin to make a hole midway through the vellum and card.
6. Thread the fishing wire through the hole and then threadthe large white sequin, then the silver sequin and then the small white daisy sequin onto the wire.
7. Finally loop the wire through the small silver bead and thread the fishing wire back through the other sequins, through the vellum and through the card. Pull the wire tight to remove any excess and ensure your sequins site flush to the paper. Your vellum paper should now be securely fastened to the white card and your sequins in place.
