I'm going to make our invitations, I think. I have limited craft skills, do any ideas about easy to make invitations with a nature theme would be greatly appreciated. Ideas we have at the moment are:
* Scrapbook paper flowers on blank cards
* That paper with flower petals embedded in it
* Paper with seeds embedded in it
Thanks!
Those are all nice ideas. They sell a brown paper that always reminds me of nature stuff. Maybe take that and hot glue some flowers or even a flower in one corner and seeds around the rest of it.
Depending on the time you want to take on the invitations you could go really elaborate or go with a preprinted nature scene paper and print the invitation on that.
Why not use some real pressed flowers too. You could get them from your own garden and press them yourself.
If you are going to make it yourself, I assume that you are going to use the computer for it. You can print some flowers and butterflies along the borders of your invitation.
Nope, I'm not going to use the computer - I'm thinking more of a scapbooking style invitation. It looks like it would involve a very sore hand by the end of it from all of the cutting - perhaps a scrapbooking paper press is in order! I love the idea of pressed flowers from the garden, too!
