Hey, Stampers!
I know, I know....where's my Thursday and Friday post? Why am I posting on Saturday?
I've been making my sister's wedding invites and I haven't really been stamping anything else. I thought I'd get them all in the mail before I post a photo. :) The actual part of putting all of the inserts together with the invitation, addressing envelopes, adding the ribbon at the end, etc. is more time comsuming that I thought. Hopefully, this weekend will see all of them going to the post office.
I have learned a couple of great paper crafting techniques from this 'adventure'. One of these tips I picked up from one of my wonderful stampers, (Cheryl R.) which is to EXACT color match everything that you print out on the computer with the appropriate Stampin' UP! colors. How do you do this?
Let's say I was using Bravo Burgundy for the 'shell' of my invite and I want the inside printed in the same color. I go to StampMonkeys and she has the codes right there for you to use. Find the color you need and jot down the codes. Then when you go to your word processor, change the COLOR of the FONT by clicking on (this is in WORD, if you use something else, it may be a little different) 'more colors', then 'custom' and then enter the values given at StampMonkeys for the color you want!
Let me know if you have any questions about this!
Have a great weekend and more pics will be posted next week! :)
Take care,,
Tonja
