I went to my hometown for my mom's 35th high school class reunion weekend; that Sunday night my mom, aunt and I got to work. They put the cards in the envelopes while I tried to decide if I was going to line the envelopes or not.
Ended up going with not. It was late and I didn't have a lot of envelopes, so I scrapped it. I had also considered stamping and embossing them, but they just were not coming out like I wanted them, so that was scrapped as well. Next, they added the adhesive magnet to the back of the business cards. It was justthismuch longer (or wider, I guess) than the business card, but it was quite easy to trim that little edge.
While they did that, I finished my wrap-around labels. I modeled my template after the DIY bride and this is what they looked like:
Simple directions:1. Open a new document in Microsoft Word.
2. I got rid of all of my margins and then inserted a text box. My final size after tinkering was 1.43 x 7.03.
3. I inserted 2 more text boxes - one for the guests' addresses and one for our return address. I changed the text direction for the return address just because, you don't have to.
4. I made a template with generic wording to determine my font and size and inserted my monogram that I'd previously saved as a .jpg. You can add any design, background or flourish that you'd like. I left the the light outline around the large box to aid in cutting; you could alternatively go with no outline.
5. I then held down the control key (ctrl) and clicked on all four pieces (you may have to do this a couple of times; Word can be temperamental, ha) and then I grouped the elements as one.
6. I then copy and pasted the labels and was able to get 6 to a page.
7. Filled them out, saved each page as STDlabels1, STDlabels2, etc and printed on my HP wireless. Cut out about 3 pages at a time w/ my paper cutter and ran them through my Xyron.
Easy-peasy.
