Watch for showers!

Baby showers

When I think of rain showers, I think sad, maybe depressing, but these baby shower invitation and announcement ideas will bring nothing but a smile!

How sweet are polka dots for a baby shower? Playing with fun colors and fonts are a great way to create a fun palate for your DIY baby card. Carry the colors over to the shower to complete your theme.

Handmade Wedding Invitation Ideas

 

I love the creativity and cost saving of making your own wedding invitations. The craft store (online and off), paper cutter, a computer and printer are all you need to create your own amazing invitations.

The following focus on tall and elegant invitation ideas. The great part about the tall invitations is that it is easy to fit all of your information, without having too much awkward white space. Best of all, you can use standard sizes of paper and envelopes. Standard size paper is much more affordable and using standard size envelopes can save you money on postage as well. This tall card style also works well for menus and wedding programs.

Leaf card

This wedding invitation uses a cutout card as a background. The black and cream are simple and elegant together. This tall card also comes with the leaf die cut, so it can be used on the text part of the invitation. A solid card can also be used behind the black card.

These black background cards and leaf are available at https://www.etsy.com/listing/177799115/elegant-tall-black-cards-with-leaf?ref=shop_home_active_1

Branch card

Using the black cards, there are some other cutout ideas. This has a branch/leaf cutout. You can see how it fits well in a standard envelope.

Swirl card

 

This version has a swirl cutout at the top.

 



 

  

A little love

This card has a love cutout at the top. The cutout is used on the cream section in this version.
