Baby Shower Week - The Invitation

11/8/2010

1 Comment

 
Welcome to Baby Shower Week, here at Marci Girl Designs!  This past summer I threw a baby shower for a friend, and thought I would share some recipes, tutorials and projects that I had at her shower. So, make sure to stop back by everyday this week for something new, and all the recipes featured this week will work great at any other function, and would be super tasty at a Thanksgiving or Christmas get together!

Invitation Designed by Marci Girl Designs
What is the first step when you throw a party?  The invitations of course!  The image above is the invitation that I designed based on the mother-to-be bedding choice (her nursery theme.)  I digitally created all the images and did all of the card layout in Photoshop.  The gray box was a great chunky textured paper that was elevated with thick double stick tape, and then the three animal boxes were printed and cut out individually and elevated on top of the gray box with the same double stick tape, creating a neat 3D effect.  It was extra work, but the result was worth it!  I printed the invitations at home on card stock, and since I had all of the supplies already from left over projects, the cost was very minimal.

After I finished the invitation, I realized that I could make the mother-to-be a gift using the images on the invitation.  I took the three animal squares, and printed them 8" x 8".  I then created a small complementary colored mat around each one, and framed them all in three brown 10" x 10" frames.  Now she has three cute matching images for the nursery.  The hardest part was finding three frames that were the right size!

Don't have the time or ability to create your own invitations?  That is OK, head on over to Etsy to find some great sellers who have already created great invitations...all you have to do is supply them with the information, and then print them yourself!  The three images I have shown here, are great examples of some of the awesome invitations you can find on Etsy.  Click on the invitation and it will bring you directly to the shop that designed it!
