OK I made these last night, but they aren't wedding favours. I had been scratching my head for a guest book idea and I finally decided to make something like postcards for ppl to write on and drop them into a birdcage or fishbowl, depending on which one I can find. These are so easy to make, using leftover origami paper, and a "Hei" paper punch that I got from ebay.

And this is the signage for that area...

Yes, the card was gorgeous.

My wife and me DIY our wedding cards too. We didn't spent too much details on the envelope. We merge 2 of our wedding photos into one JPG file. Put in some words and created an invitation card ala photo style. It is cheap and our friends would mostly keep it.

those items can buy fr specialty handicraft shop ( one utama has 2 shops or the curve-Papier).basically the 'love' shape is not a sticker, its a stamp ( cost rm 20-30+), then u need to buy the emboss powder ( cost rm 20+), a heater ( rm 120) , this is embossing craft. i love it so much , its good if u love bookscraping, then u can buy all these tools for future bookscraping after design your wedd card :lol: cos all these quite pricey, may add up more than rm500 ....

Am planning to do a one-piece wedding invite plus a guestbook (which is actually a scrapbook with pics of me and FH). I'm hoping to get the stamps from this site and the stationary from Singapore (if I have the chance to go to Spotlight or some paper shops at the Curve). ^.^

Unfortunately, I haven't started yet - the ideas are still in my head. XD

Christine: Do you have that stamp's ebay store addy??? If you do, can you PM it to me? :)

Just visited Papier at The Curve and bought trial sheets of papers - gold card, off-cream-gold backing plus transparent vellum paper and some very Japanese-cherry blossom patterned sheet. Total? RM14.80 - the Japanese sheet retails at RM10.80 per piece. O_O

I've got some ideas of what exactly I want to do - it'll will be a one piece invite so I'm looking to spend about RM2 per card plus all the "extras". Am going to put the pieces together with brass fasteners (they ran out so might get them later) and use the "hei" paper puncher.

Would like to get rubber stamp and emboss "hei" on the envelope but it might end up costing me a bomb (coz of the heater, powder and etc - cannot use hairdryer oso! Eesh!) so I'll see how it goes la. I have a wax seal with gold and silver wax but it's an initial "M" so...heh.

Am going to scout around art stores to look for cheaper paper and tools (have a few places since I used to study at an arty college!).

Christine: That's gorgeous! :) I like the "just married" stamp.

Anyway, just updating myself (and you gals). Found a place that churns out the "hei" rubber stamp so I bought four of different font styles - am selling two to Kirei (coz she asked me to keep her updated). Probably won't emboss the envelope because don't really want to buy a heat gun...so I might just end up stamping the envelopes and my invites with gold ink.

FH, in the meantime, is busy looking for papers (his mum's an artist in France so I trust his judgment).

Jojo: What you are looking for is vellum paper. :)

You'll probably need to go to art shops - there are a few around (look out for art colleges; usually these shops are just around the corner). Alternatively you can go to paper stores in 1-U and The Curve (Papier). :)
