Doily Heart Invitation
This is a pretty sweet and simple invitation that we made for a Sweet Valentine Party.
It was very easy to make. We purchased some paper heart doilys on sale at our favorite craft depot store to make a paper garland decoration when we thought it would be a good idea to use the smaller doilys on our invitations.
To make this invite you will need:
- White paper doilies.
- glue stick
- red card stock
- white card stock
- White copy paper for the invitation inserts
- Printer and computer (or you can hand write the invitations)
- paper trimmer or scissors
Make your cards
- Make a whole heap of white folded cards.
- Get your red card stock and cut out a piece to go on top of the cover. Measure it out to be about a 1/2 inch smaller in width and length than your folder white card. This will give you a border of about a 1/4 inch all the way around.
A paper trimmer will make short work of this step, but a craft knife and metal straight edge (metal ruler) will work fine. If you have neither then grab your scissors and get cutting. - Glue the white doily with the glue stick to the front of the red card. Place it on the left hand side of the card.
- Now glue the red card to the front of the white folded card. Try and center it as much as you can.
- Print out the words "You're invited" (or whatever you wish to greet your guests will work too) onto white card. Cut out and adhere to the front of the card.
- Finally, print out your wording on your paper insert (measured to be about a half inch shorter than the card itself) Glue to the inside of your invitation card and you are done.
- Pop it into a nice red envelope and send off to your guests.
La Soiree Noir
These invites were made from scratch(mostly). Made with a printer, a
typewriter for some of the text, a sewing machine and part of a
pre-printed pad. On the back there were some small little heart
cut-outs and a map to show the guests the location of the party. We
used these invites for a party we hosted that we called La Soiree Noir
(the black party) it was a Valentines Day bash.
