Today we are so excited to have guest blogger, Susan Wong, sharing some great tip and hints\u00a0for making your own invitations. Susan\u00a0is a very talented lady, who I know you will find inspiring.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Hi As You Wishers! Such fun to be able to share with you today. I\u2019m Susan Wong \u2013 wife, mother to three and Stampin\u2019 Up! Demonstrator in Auckland. I also represent New Zealand on our Stampin\u2019 Up! Global Artisan Design Team. Nice to meet you!<\/p>\n

Do you have an event coming up and want to include a more personal touch? Hand-stamped invitations are a fun and fairly cost-effective way to go about it.<\/p>\n

My tips to get you started:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Remember invitations set the mood for your event. Casual, formal, somewhere in between\u2026 Can a bit of paper say all that? Yes!! First impressions count so you should have a fair idea of your theme before you sit down to create. Even if it\u2019s as basic as a colour.<\/p>\n

2. Simple is better. Every small detail can add a few hours of work when you have to replicate it 50 times. Pick one thing to be the feature.<\/p>\n

3. Think paper economy. Could you tweak the size just slightly so you can fit more onto an A4 sheet with minimal leftovers?<\/p>\n

4. Always use a quality laser printer for the words, digital stamps or photos\/images. This is the part that gives you the professional finish.<\/p>\n
