Materials
-
Brown A6 flat cards from paper source
-
Moss #10 flat cards from paper source
-
Cream 8 X 11 card stock
-
Polka dot ribbon from Hobby Lobby

Lots of glue dots
Step 1
I created the wording with the ball and chain in Photoshop and printed it on to the cream card stock, cut it to size then used a edge rounder. I used the phrase Irma and Rich are tying the knot. We tried other save the date wording phrases as well.
Step 2
Wrapped the ribbon around the card and used glue dots to stick the ends of the ribbon to the front of the card at the center.
Step 3
Cut the moss flat cards to size to be larger than the cream ones and used glue dots to fasten down on top of the ribbon to hide the ribbon ends.
Step 4
Used more glue dots to fasten the cream stock to the moss stock.
