- Keep a notepad with you of your ideas. You should take it with you everywhere you go, you never know when an idea may pop up. Keep by the bed at night as well – late at night and early morning are often good times when ideas will come to you.
- Inspiration can come from anywhere, even from fabrics and furnishings, to papers and greeting cards. Even looking at what other card makers are doing, can give you inspiration.
- You don’t need alot of equipment – just an ordinary pair of household scissors, a ruler and something to cut on (so it will protect your table) is all you need. So don’t spend a fortune, unless you’re going to make it a long term hobby.
- Using repositionable adhesive, this will make your card making easy. It will allow you to move your paper and embellishments around the card until you’ve got it just right.
- Try making your own embellishments with beads and crystals. They’ll make your wedding invitations unique.
- Experiment with using different areas of the card. The main focal point doesn’t always have to be in the center of the card. Try using the left hand side, bottom or even top of the invitation.
- With your designs, less is often the best. If you over do the bits and pieces on your invitation, it will look like too much. Less is more, and definitely so, for elegant wedding invitations.
- Use a computer for your inserts, unless you’ve got lovely handwriting. You can easily set up an A4 sheet of paper to print out a number of inserts. Then simply cut them to size for a professional finished look.
- Think about using 3D effects. You can use foam sheet adhesive to add a little bit of height to your embellishments – then they’ll really stand out on the page.
- Don’t throw anything away! You’ll be able to use all your bits of paper and left over ribbons and embellishments for other cards. Keep them safe, so you will be able to use them againn another occasion.
