So my next DIY project was to make my own cards asking my friends to be part of the bridal party. From my save the date adventure, I new I wanted to incorporate stamps into the design. And I wanted the cards to be in my colours, pink & red.

First I ordered the cards and envelopes from Paper Source. I bought the A7 folded card in Luxe Blush and their matching A7 envelopes. If any of you are looking for light pink stationary just a word of caution, I was somewhat disappointed that Luxe Blush was more a peach pink than a baby pink. But it was close enough and I worked with it.

Next I went on the hunt for some nice dress stamps I could use for the bridal party dresses. Addictedtorubberstamps.com has a huge selection of stamps and scrapbooking materials. I couldn't decide on just one dress stamp so I bought two! One for the maid of honour and the other for each of the bridesmaids. I just couldn't resist the adorable fairy like dress! Plus the fairy dress was on sale and I used a coupon for 50% of the solid dress stamp.


Once that was done I bought my remaining supplies at Michaels: round corner punch, butterfly paper punch, cranberry ink pad by ColorBox, red/pink ribbon, red and pink patterned cardstock, and the red glitter alphabet letters.

I scoured the web for what to write inside the card and came across several poems for bridesmaids, maid of honours, and even flower girls at: NYcityWeddings message board and this website. I modified them slightly to suit each girl better.

So when the project was all said and done, here is what the final products looked like:

The girls were touched and loved the cards so all in all a successful and very fun project!
