hi Gayle, your cards are reali nice...did u do it yourself? How did u do your envelopes?

 

[gayletan81]

I did it my self n saved quite a bit

I used a stamp and pink ink pad bought from bras basah...then I added the flower from this scrap-booking shop in plaza singapura. can't remem the name. the flowers come in a bottle n I stuck it on using a small metal pin-like thing also from there. Have to poke thru the paper and bend the ends to secure. hope this helps!

Hi Gayle,

Can i noe the shop name in Bras basah?

Gayle

You printed your own cards?

 

[gayletan81]

The shop in Bras Basah is called Art Friend..quite a big shop w loads of art n craft stuff.

I printed the cards myself using this printer in Peace Center. Not a wedding card printer, just a general printer that can print whatever u need. I printed 3 cards on 1 A4 sheet n they helped me cut it to size. So I only paid for printing of 100 A4 sheets for 300 cards. Pls note this is laser printing, so there is no limit to the number of colors u want, but there is no embossing/ shiny silver or gold lettering like in conventional wedding cards.

I designed it myself using photoshop, no template leh..I just came up w a design I liked.

The top part I bought from the scrap-book shop in Plaza Singapura n cut to size n punch holes n tie ribbon...

If u need any help, can email me directly. I will try my best to help. [email protected]

i do not know how to use photoshop well so all of these cards are done purely hand made craft work.

Very time consuming but very satisfying. Made abt 120-130 cards. tot i will overspent, instead i spent less than those printer shop has quoted me as i have a small volume. abt $1.50 including the ribbons.

Everything is DIY, even the Envelopes are hand made from A4 art paper, Inserts i printed from my own printer, and the "love" tags are hand made too.

[claudiasd]

wow Gayle, those look great! I hope you still check this but how much did it end up costing per invitation?

My friend is offering to do mine, and she can have them made for me in China... just wondering how much i would save doing it myself.
