Make Your Own Quirky Polka Dot Invitations
I was in a playful kind of a mood when this design was born. Personally, I think that Polka Dots really embody a sense of fun and playfulness. So it's no surprise that on a fun kind of a day, polka dots made their appearance.
I have to admit to being a little in love with this invitation. Although it's very playful, it's also got a sense of chic style about it........
I love the combinations used in this invitation. But if it doesn't match your theme, there's no need to worry. This is a super easy invitation to customise. Just change your choice of Backing card, Patterned Paper or Ribbon to create something unique to you.

1 x Silver Glitter Card (click here)

10cm x 15cm - Use your paper trimmer to cut the Polka Lustre Paper in Silver to the following size:
12cm x 18cm - Use the high tack tape to stick the Polka Lustre Paper in Silver onto the largest Silver Glitter Card Panel. (make sure you stick tape along each side and across the middle)
- Stick the Smaller Silver Glitter card panel on top of the Polka Lustre Paper (as above). Make sure that your borders are even.
- Stick the printed invitation on top.
- Place your ribbon face down on a flat surface. Place your invitation on top so that it is sitting roughly in the middle of the ribbon. Bring both ends in towards the front of the invitation and tie a knot. Tie a neat bow in the ribbon. You will need to tease the ribbon a bit to get it in to shape. You can do this by loosening and tightening the bow a few times until it's a good size and shape.
- Use a sharp scissors to cut off any excess ribbon. You can either cut the ribbon off in an inverted "v" shape; or cut it parallel to the bottom of the invitation.
