My oldest niece Amy will be getting married on July 18 and I was asked to create her wedding invitations. Her colors are white, black and silver. Due to time constraints, I came up with a simple design since the request was to make 102 invitations and I didn't have time to order additional supplies:

I decided to use the sentiment from "Sincere Salutations" since the font is a little on the fancy side. The main image is from the stamp set "Elements of Style" and is quite elegant. I inked both in "Basic Black Ink". I also used the "Eyelet Border Punch" on the bottom of each card.

Below is one of the "piles" I mass produced. I created the cards in packs of 20 at a time:

I added a little bit of "bling" to the front, I sprayed each card with "Smooch Spray" in silver. You can't tell by the pictues but the smooch is really striking with a little glitz to it. I sprayed each card inside Stampin' Up!'s "Color Catcher". Can you imagine the mess you would have on your counter without this new product? What a great new item. It is available for purchase in the new summer mini for just $5.95!

Now I was ready to assemble. The white portion of the cards as you can see, is where the card is folded and stands up. I glued the backside of each card to a "Basic Black" panel of cardstock that is only one layer and does not fold:
