I have created a Wedding Save the Date card and a wedding invitation for you today.  How I created these are below.  

My first card I created a Save the Date card, which measures 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  This will fit in an A2 envelope.  I used the Gina K Design Foil-Mate Elegant Damasks and foiled it with Gina K Designs Fancy Foils Gold Sequins.  The "Save the Date" is from the Foil-Mate Invitations-Save the Date. These are very nice and classy for anyone planning a wedding. These are so easy to create and would probably cost less to do these than buy "Save the Date" invitations in the store.

This is on the opposite side of the save the date card.  I used the Gina K die set Rectangle Large to cut the invitation words out.

Here is my second card.  I wanted to create a set, so I am using the Gina K Design Foil-Mate Elegant Damasks, also foiled with Gina K Designs Fancy Foils Gold Sequins. The words are from the Gina K Designs Invitations - Wedding.  This card will also fit in an A2 envelope.  To make this card you will need a piece of card-stock measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, I scored each side at 2 1/8, fold in the scored sides and you will have a gatefold card.  The side panels measure 2 x 5 1/4 and the foil-mate measures 1 7/8 x 5.  I used the Gina K die set small square to die cut the words.  

This is the inside of the card.  I cut a piece of Gina K Designs Metallic Gold Card Stock at 4 x 5 1/4, then I foiled the next layer using the Gina K Design Foil-Mate Elegant Damasks.  I used the Foil-Mate Invitations-Wedding for the inside of the card also.  I used two colors inside the heart image I used Gina K Design Foil-Mate Red Velvet and Gina K Designs Fancy Foils Gold Sequins.

Here is a closer look at the card.
