Since we launched our new website back in May we have had so many enquiries about our new CREATE & MAKE Collection. It seems there are a lot of creative Brides out there who really want to play a part in creating their own stationery – our D.I.Y. wedding option allows you to do just this.
Here are a few simple steps on how to order your Create & Make stationery from The Hummingbird Card Company, followed by a little guide on how to put it all together.
ORDERING:
Firstly ORDER A SAMPLE ONLINE – once you have received it, checked your colours and made your choices you are ready to place your order:
Fill in our online CREATE & MAKE order form.
Step 1: Choose your design from our Boutique Collection.
Step 2: Choose your card colour, inlay colour, and if you would like ribbons, diamantés or pearls.
Step 3: Let us know which items you are interested in and how many you need. We will supply you with matching paper if requested and can also provide you with a set up for printing your invitation layouts.
Step 4: We will send you a quote and, once you have confirmed, an invoice for payment.
Step 5: Once we have received your payment, we will wrap everything beautifully in one of our keepsake boxes and send it via courier ready for you to start creating. Easy as that!

- To fix diamantés or pearls to your cards add a tiny dot of super glue to where you would like them positioned. Then, using tweezers, gently place the diamantés or pearls on top of the small glue dot. Make sure you allow a few minutes for everything to dry!
