Save the date cards

With my wedding and evening invites complete, I decided to use my beautiful green snowflake card (which also features as my blog background some of you may have noticed) to make my save the date cards.

This is what I did....

I took one page of my A4 green card and sectioned it off into 7.4cms x 10.6cm rectangles and cut them out.

Then I created a word doc and made 8 smaller boxes containing my save the date wording which reads as follows:

'Hayley and Kris are getting married. Please save the date Sunday 22nd December 2013. Invitation to follow.'

Then I cut the individual boxes out. These measure about 6.5cm x 9.5cms so that it's smaller than the green card rectangle. 

Then, using pritt-stick NOT PVA, I glued them to the green card backs. I added some diamanté gems in each opposite corner for a bit of Christmas sparkle. 

And voilà....the final product. Simple, yet cheap and easy to make.
