Affordable DIY Save the Date Postcards

I'm cross-posting this from my other craft blog... After I started talking to the blogger behind Oh So Beautiful Paper (a great site!) after commenting on the Spanish Garden Party Save the Dates post because I was loving on their Save the Dates ( I have yet come to calling them STDs as it seems many wedding bloggers, do!) and color scheme.

I thought I'd share with you my easy way to make Save the Date postcards on the cheap

All it took was a little design research into what I liked, a little dabbling in Photoshop, a papel picado graphic that I tinted to match some aqua paper flowers I am using since we are having a bit of a fiesta/Dia de Los Muertos theme, a fun carnival font from 1001Fonts.com.

I was able to order 100 postcards for less than $37 at Vistaprint!! (Not including shipping and handling).

Now if only addressing and mailing them was that easy! Thanks to google docs' address web form, I am having some help with getting my address book into fighting shape.

DIY Tiny Tissue Paper Flowers from iDIY

More handmade flower-y goodness! I’ve seen similar ones but I’m particularly taken with Zakka Life’s tiny delicate version (used for table centerpieces above). So cute! These would be great too for flower garlands, gift toppers, table settings and napkin ring accents. Hop on over for the DIY tutorial and craft away!
