DIY Ladies

How do you guys make DIY programs, menus, invitations...basically anything printed...

Do you have a specific program that you bought or did you just know how to do it with basic computer programs (word, etc.)

I would LOVE to do my own paper goods, but have no clue where to start.

I did my menus in Word. I just made a 2 column document and printed out 2 menus per page.

How did you get that imprint of the flower on the back of your menu??? They look so professional

Thank you! I just bought a stamp from AC Moore and used white ink. We stamped the cardstock and let it dry, ran it through the printer, cut it in half and then used an edger to get those cool corners. All of the supplies cost me about $30.

This is a great idea. I've seen the corner punchers and love how your menu came out. Nice job!!!! I've seen invites that this in Martha Stewarts mag too, she used the punchers to put more style into plain envelopes, etc.

I love this, I'm looking for a pretty fall leave design. I haven't seen much yet.
