by Nancy Georges on June 26, 2010

 It is always an honour being asked to create a dear friend’s invite!

    

The Brief – Simple

The Style – Elegant!

The Paper – Henna Pink 176 gsm board (on sale http://bit.ly/bEl0zQ)

The Method:

1. cut the a4 paper in half so that each piece is 21 x 14.8 cm

2. to print: – set you paper size 14.8 cm wide x 21 cm high
                       - set the bottom margin to 2 cm and all others to 1cm
                       – set your text & add a feature line on the bottom of the page 
                       – test print on a plain piece of paper
                       - print on the blank side

3. when you have printed the sheet – cut 1cm off the bottom
                          (so it fits into the envelope)

4. short fold so you can see the feature text on the bottom
  You’re done!!
