How to Make Your Own Western Wedding Invitations

Video Transcript

"Hi I'm Brandi Mackenzie and today I'm going to show you how to make a wester wedding invitation. And I"m also going to be using a Stampin' Up stamp set called Wanted. Alright. And how we're going to start is I want the wedding invitation to finalize a five inches by 7 inches. So a 5 by 7 wedding invitation card. And I've tried to make it as simple as possible because when you're making hundreds of these simple is best. Alright and so what I'm going to do is I'm going to take this image out of my stamp set and my sage shadow ink pad. And I'm going to stamp it randomly on my very vanilla piece of card stock which is measured 6 3/4 by 4 3/4. Alright. And so what I'm going to do is I'm now going to take the stamp wanted out of my stamp set with my real rust, sorry, ink pad, and I'm going to ink her up. Again, to ink up an ink pad really well I rub it really good and then you pat it. Alright and now what I'm going to do is I'm going to take my corner rounder and I'm just going to round all four corners. And I'm going to round it on my real rust and my sage shadow pieces. And so now we can set that aside. I am going to take the star out of the stamp set and my real rust ink. Now that I've got that all stamped it's time to make our belly band. In one end I scored it at 2 1/8 inches. And what I did at that point, folded the other side over. So you have a nice even fold. What we want to do is now we are going to put our wanted on our belly band. And we are going to do those with, right in front of me, our dimensionals. And one thing that's cool is that the real rust within this wanted sign is the same size as this. And if you're good enough you can line it up so it gives you a way to know where to put this so you know that you're pretty even. Alright. What we have here is that very vanilla piece of card stock we've stamped. And I've printed this on velum card stock. And that's really easy. You just have to cut your pieces to size, stick them in your printer and they'll just print. But of course as you test it make sure you're testing on just normal printer paper so you're not wasting your good stuff. I'm going to ink her up and use my stampamajig because I'm going to put it on the bottom corner of my invitation. And just stamp that right on the velum. Horse down on the bottom. Alright. Okay. And how I'm going to finish it off is I have some jumbo eyelets right here. And we're going to put those up in the two corners. I just put in my jumbo eyelets. Going through all three layers. Take it up, down through, back up again, and just do my square knot. That's all that you have to do to create a western wedding invitation. And it's easy enough that you can do several of them and not get too overwhelmed. I guess it helps to do it this way. Too overwhelmed with what you're doing. Especially when you're sending out three or four hundred of them. Okay. And there's your western wedding invitation."
