Save the Date Card
DIY Wedding Craft Idea

You will need:

Cream textured card

Red pearl card

Parchment paper

Silver border peel-offs

Red heart confetti

Computer with printing facilities

Paper trimmer

Scissors

Embossing tool and pad

Double sided tape

Sticky foam pads

To make the card:

1. Using word processing software, print out “Save The Date” onto the parchment paper. You can use any font you wish; We have used ‘Cornet’.

2. Stick a silver border around the text and emboss the pieces cut out of the border.

3. Cut around the border and using the sticky foam pads, stick to the centre of a piece of the red pearl card.

4. Print out the details of the card onto a piece of the cream textured card. I have used the wording:

Bride’s name and Groom’s name
are getting married on
Date, month, year

Invitation to follow

5. Cut out the text and cut a slightly larger piece of the red pearl card to mount the text onto.

6. Cut another piece of the cream textured card that is large enough for the title and for the main text (see picture).

7. Using double sided tape stick the “Save The Date” and the main text to the background card. Add a few of the heart confetti pieces around the main text as shown.

N.B. For an extra touch you could put a few more of the red confetti hearts loose in the envelope that you post your card in.
