Just a little sneak peek at what happened this weekend:
Bright yellow edges on our invitation paper!!
And to think, they wanted to charge me $400 for painted edges. A $4 bottle of paint and a $0.59 foam brush later, and I say - mission accomplished!
It was a messy paint and Gocco filled weekend - more details to come, I promise!

Oooo, they look so cheery! Love the preview and can’t wait to see more!
ooo. I loved invitations with colored edges. They always look so chic. Can’t wait to hear more
I love the yellow edges! I can’t wait to see the rest!
ohhhh….I can’t wait to see more. I love the idea of colored edges!
What a great idea to paint the edges yellow to make it more cheery…can’t wait to see!
Wow! I can’t believe they were going to charge you that much for it! Great job DIY!
Oh please please share how you edge painted soon! I am DYING to have edges painted!
How crafty of you! I love the sunny look of your invites already!
$400 for painted edges? Doesn’t it feel great when you DIY and can laugh at those price tags?!
Lookin good, can’t wait to see more! (BTW, yellow is my fave color ever!)
@Miss Burgundy: I’ll do a DIY tutorial soon, but in the meantime really all I did was buy a $4 bottle of yellow acrylic craft paint and a foam brush and paint the edges - I did them in groups rather than painting each one individually which would’ve taken forever!
@FlipFlopBride: & @Miss Ballet Flat: I couldn’t believe it either!! Basically it was $1.00 per piece.
Can not wait to see them!!!!! Ahh love the yellow edges.
Oh, I never thought of painting the edges, but our invites will be RED. Great idea!!
@missalisa: It’s actually Crane’s Lettra paper (designed for letterpress, so it’s really thick and soft). I purchased it from here: http://www.keldonpaper.com

About Me: I don't like nickels or the skin that forms on pudding when it's in the fridge for too long. I couldn't live without Pantone markers, fountain soda (3/4 diet, ¼ regular Coke), run-on sentences, or ridiculously oversized sunglasses. I will try to DIY almost anything and am just OCD enough to make most of it work. I am truly excited about having all my family and friends together, becoming Mrs. Gloss, and having amazing photos to prove it!
