Wedding Blog
Not for my wedding of course, but for a friend who asked for my help two weeks ago. (And here I thought I was done with wedding related stuff.)
After a few prototypes, we have the final Save the Date card/magnet. That’s right - it’s a card and it’s a magnet too! This was the first Save the Date project I did for someone other than myself. I think these came out great and she loved them too.

Share this post: The STD’s Are Done…
jma19 - I used adhesive magnet strips and cut 1″ squares to all 4 corners. It sticks on the fridge really well.
Yeah, I’d love to hear how these were done.
Cool, found it on Etsy too!
Beautiful. But I must say the date panicked me … she’s sending out STDs for a wedding that’s over 12 months away?!?? Surely there must be some kind of unique circumstances, right? I won’t even be engaged for 12 months, let alone send out STDs that far in advance. I was thinking maybe 4 months … am I crazy??
wsukarebear - The font is called “Selfish” I love this font!
Shelby - Her wedding is very close to Thanksgiving so I’m assuming that’s her reason. If your wedding is not close to any holidays, you don’t need to worry, but I would suggest sending our your formal invitations at least 3 months in advance, and Std’s can be anywhere from 8 months and on.
Angel - I didn’t take step by step photos but in general, I took cardstock, patterned paper & another piece of white card stock and glued it all together into one final piece. Magnet squares were added to the back on all 4 corners. the StD wording was printed using the computer and the design was stamped by hand.
Those are beautiful Mrs. Violet! She’s lucky to have a talented friend like you ; )
Mrs. Violet these are so beautiful!!! What do you mean the design was stamped by hand? Where could we get the stamp you used? (I’m assuming you used just a regular ink pad?)
Was the card stock already particular sizes, or did you cut them?
Also (sorry if it’s a bother dear) what kind of glue did you use?
You did a BEAUTIFUL job!!!!!
AutumnBride - Thank you!
I used stamps and a brown colored ink pad. Here’s a link to the stamps.

I used archival safe glue stick and yes, I used a paper trimmer to cut all the cardstock. It was labor intensive, but my friend/client loved it.. so in the end it was all worth it! =)
Oops wrong link.. those stamps are very similar but I used my stamp from this set:
You are and angel and could make a living doing this!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
AutumnBride - Awe, thanks so much. I’m trying to. Check out my shop when you have a chance, it’s a hobby for now, but hopefully one day… http://www.waisze.etsy.com
