Saving The Date Part 2

March 20th, 2009 @ 9:33 am by Mrs. Mascara

As promised, here are some pictures of the save-the-date cards that were sent to our guests this week. The fiance and I worked so so so hard on these, and I hope our guests appreciate them as much as I do!

Here’s a close up of the front page:

It opens by rotating the pages to the side.

All 150, assembled!

Saving The Date Part 2 :  wedding diy save the dates Dsc 043  If you can see in the pictures, we embossed every flourish pattern and used linen textured cardstock to add some texture. I designed the cards in Adobe Illustrator and we had them printed at a local print shop in the UP for less than half the price of getting them done at FedEx Kinko’s or OfficeMax (we checked). I’ll do a full cost and materials breakdown when I get back from Boston!

Those look GREAT! Wow, I’m sure that took a LOT of work. What kind of paper is the cover? And how did you print the photo onto it?
