DIY Wedding Card

In about two weeks, I'll be attending a wedding with my boyfriend, Jackey so I decided to make my own wedding card to go along with the present.  I am very satisfied with the results and to my surprise, it didn't take up too much time either.

FINISHED PRODUCT:

HOW TO DO IT:

Step 1:
- take a piece of construction paper, fold it in half 
- take a piece of white paper and trim it down so that it's one inch smaller all around than the card
- use a hole puncher and punch three holes on the folded side

Step 2:
- take a piece of ribbon and string it through the holes from the top (if you also punched holes on the back of the card then use another piece of ribbon to string through the back as well)
- tie a ribbon at the top
Step 3:
- take another piece of paper (whichever colour you think best matches the card, and trim it down so that it's one inch all around smaller than the white rectangle)
- choose a sticker which you think best suits the card and theme and stick it exactly in the centre (preferably a sticker which is more 3-D)- the sticker that I chose to use here is made by Jolee's Boutiques and these stickers can be found at Walmart, Zellers and Michaels.  However, I usually buy them from random discounted retailers or dollar stores because they are much cheaper!)

Step 4:
- type out a nice greeting and print it out on a white piece of paper
- trim down the piece of paper so that it's one inch all around smaller than the card and glue it on the inside of the card
- use another piece of paper (preferably one that matches the colours and theme of the card), and trim a border exactly the size of white rectangle with the greeting on it
