Wedding invitations

We do love a wedding here at Wightcat, and not least because we love working with brides who make their own invitations. It can be really easy, and a lovely way to personalise your day. For brides (and those who are helping them!) who need a bit of inspiration, here are a few ideas:

I cut a background using a scalloped circle die, then layered it with mirri card and pattern card and topped it off with a greeting, some of our new paper roses and a pre-made bow. Despite the layers, it's super-quick, and you can get all these elements in colours to match your day.

We have some beautiful new Martha Stewart punches in (which are so new I don't even think they're online, so please contact for details) so you can create lovely border strips for a simple but elegant detail. The background is embossed card that I actually put through the Cuttlebug the wrong way, so it is de-bossed instead, but I rather like it. A happy accident!



This uses the same punch, but in black-on-white for a strikingly different effect. Any strong colour on white would look lovely.



And if you use the infinity loops punch on mirri card, and layer that on more mirri card, you get a super-glam look. I'm also loving the butterflies (another punch) which I think make a nice alternative to flowers, and the glittery ribbon. If you can't use glitter on your wedding invitations, when can you?!


If you are local, do pop in because we're always happy to help you come up with a creative solution that's perfect for you.

Why I am so Happy?

Well you know how it is one day is pretty much the same as the next and before you know it they have merged together and its another Year that gone rushing by.
Yes you've guessed it I am another year older !
and Wiser ? Don't think so !

and Happier? Most definitely !

What makes me happier is sharing my time with my Beautiful Wife Hilary, who gets more and more beautiful each year, whilst I just get older and Grayer!

But what makes my Birthday so special each year is that it's also our Wedding Anniversary aswell.

Here are the two cards I got from Hilary.


This card was embossed using the Cuttlebug before being coloured and finished with a 3d-decoupage parrot.


This card made use of a peel off which was enhanced by colouring with Sakura pens, the centre of the card was cut out to show the rubber stamped insert paper.

So I just want to say Hilary I Love you lots
