congrats they look great! love the kiss sticker on the back....(thats what it is, right??)

Its actually a wax seal. It took me about an hour to do all the envelopes but I figured it out and they came out so cool! I hope they dont crack in the mail! Thanks girls. Im going in about an hour to drop them off.

FH and I want to do wax seals too.
can you tell me your secret to figuring them out? i'm pretty sure we'll be total spazzes when it comes to those.

YOUR INVITES LOOK AWESOME!!

OMG once I figured it out it was so simple. I just lit the wick and made sure the wax didnt catch fire. Then I rotated back and forth slowly. I let about 5-8 drops for depending on how big the drops were. And while they were dropping. I made the wax in a small circle. Then when you go to stamp down, let the wax sit for about 5 seconds, stamp directly in the center slowly so the wax spreads into a circle and wiggle the stamp off after holding it there for about 4 seconds. Hope that makes sense! It got easier and easier. Practice on a piece of paper first. Also, if the wx drips to another part of the envelope by accident. Let it cool and then scrape it off. It wont even look like you dropped wax there~!
