These heart wedding invitations are great for most any wedding theme, but also make great Valentine’s day wedding invitations. They are relatively easy to make and not too expensive either.
Supplies needed to make heart wedding invitations:
Supplies needed to make heart wedding invitations:* 8 1/2″ by 11″ card stock* pink or red paper* plain white paper* rubber stamp* ink pad* heart shaped paper punch* glue runner and craft glue
Start by printing the wording for your invitations. It is best to print them on half pages, two to a page. This conserves paper, time, and money. If you need help you can always order a 2 to a page printable text templates from this site.Print your wording and then cut the paper in half. After cutting this in half you will also want to cut the card stock in half (to create two 8 1/2″ by 5 1/2″ pieces) as well as trim 1/4″ off of the edges of the pieces with your wording printed on it.Apply strips of glue to the back of the wording sheets, applying the glue to the outer edges. Affix this sheet to the card stock, centering it to the middle as best you can.
Get out your rubber stamps to apply some flourishes to the outside borders of the invitations. I used clear stamps from Autumn Leaves, “Swirls” by Rhonna Farrer. You will also ned a clear block to use clear stamps. Clear stamps are great to use in this kind of project. Because the stamps are clear you can easily see exactly wher you intend to stapm the image. No more screw ups! I can’t recommend them enough! They will be great to use in you wedding scrapbook after too, and will match all of your wedding stationery.Don’t forget to also purchase some good quality ink pads for your stamps. The ink you buy really will make a big difference in the quality of your invitations, so do not scimp here.
After stamping the last step is to simply create heart shapes with your heart shaped paper punch. Affix these hearts to the invitation with some good craft glue or tiny glue dots. Glue dots are very durable, but can sometimes be tough to work with. I recommend buying a good craft glue that comes in a bottle with a fine tip. Use very small dabs of glue to affix the paper hearts.
