Cabo San Lucas Wedding

All I can say is I love my clients, aside from being so easy to work with they are so imaginative, it totally inspires me to create lovely invitations for them. They seriously make my job easy.  Anna and Johnathan are exactly the kind of clients we all need.  They are an amazing couple and are wonderful to work for.  These are the invitations that I made for their upcoming wedding in Cabo San Lucas this June.   I cant wait to work on the rest of the stationery, it was so much fun to make there invitations.  The colors alone are amazing. I love this combination. 

I will definitely share the accessories once they are completed. 

I am truly blessed with such wonderful clients, I cant ask for anything more. 

Scroll Engagement Invitation

Maggie wanted invitations for her upcoming engagement to stand out, and definitely be different then every other engagement invitation that she has seen.  She loved the idea of a scroll, and really wanted to see something along those lines. 

I showed her some of my other scrolls and she was sold, there was no turning back after that.  We worked together on a design using the colors that match her dress, by the way, that dress is gorgeous.  

I met with her yesterday and she loved the invite. Just to make this even more beautiful, we have decided to add a band around the presentation box in black lace. I will add photos of the finished product later. 

Thanks for stopping by. 

Batter Up

One of my Etsy customers asked me if I could make birthday invitations for her son's fifth birthday coming up in June.  She wanted to have a Baseball theme party for her son and she had a couple of ideas that she wanted to incorporate into the invitation.  A lot of the invitations she did find didn't quite meet her vision for the invitation.

So I created a double sided die cut invitation for her in Red and Navyd.  I also made envelopes to fit the invite perfectly.

On the front of the card, I added a number 5 in 3D, it looks so good against the white and red background.  Then I added a middle layer in red and scalloped the edges of the circle to give it more body.

On the back of the invitation, we used the same baseball image and added the invitation information in the middle.  

And of course how can I have an envelope without a matching liner... Personally I love how the envelope came out, oh yeah, and the invite of course.   Kim said it was exactly what she was looking for! I cant wait to hear what her guests think of the invitation....

What little boy wouldn't want this as their birthday invitation? 

Britt and Brett

Brett an old friend of mine contacted me to let me know that he was getting married, and wanted me to help him design his wedding invitation. I met with him and his lovely fiance and they told me of their plans to get married in Montego Bay, Jamaica. Brett wanted to use yellow in their invitations to match the flowers that they had chosen, Britt wanted the blue to give it the tropical feel.  She wasn't sure what she style of invitation she wanted wanted, but she really wanted  to stand out. She liked the idea of a passport invitation, but one of her friends just used that so she didn't want it to be the same. I suggested the boarding pass and she loved it. 

Using the silver card in the background for the and of course the yellow ribbon to add the color of the flowers. 

On the inside of the invitation, I used a tropical image to bring in the blues of the water and skies. (sorry for the way this picture came out, sometimes my flash doesn't like to work...)

They were absolutely one of the easiest couples to work with, such an amazing and kind couple. Love, Love, Love them! 

1920's Inspired Invitation Design

The other day I was contacted by a new client who is in charge of her company's holiday party, the theme was Roaring 20's.  She wanted me to come up with a few ideas using the opulence of the Great Gatsby.  

Since her budget was still up in the air, I created a few different samples for her to discuss with her committee.  We decided on a color palate of Gold and Black. 

I started my first design using an antique gold metallic card stock and embossed it to give it that tufted pillow appeal.  I proceeded to add crystals to the front of the card, on the inside I added a pocket for the additional information for each guest.  I placed the actual invitation on the inside of the invitation.  

Since my client really liked the antique gold look, I kept it going to my next design.   I grabbed a beautiful presentation box, and added my signature pillow covered in beautiful white satin. Then I started working on the invitation, I created a double layered flat panel invitation, then added a beautiful gold and crystal ribbon slider and a beautiful white feather. I mean really, what is a Roaring 20's invitation without feathers.

And finally, and just to be on the safe side, I created another invitation for the budget friendly event. This one was featured a beautiful 1920's flapper silhouette with a glitter covered feather.  In this case we opted to  not layer the invitation, making it really affordable for any budget.  I really enjoyed how this one came out. 

Edith loved these invitation and had a really tough time choosing one, can you guess which one they went with?  I will tell you when I get pictures from the event. 

Tata for now my friends.

Holiday Dinner

Lita contacted me a few weeks ago, wanting a different invitation for her annual Holiday Dinner. She wanted something elegant to wow her guests.  

We created these pocket invitations, using the beautiful shimmer finish card stock in red and created a die cut in the pocket.  Then we went to work on the invitation, using the same color red for the ink, we created a lovely design and added some stunning Swarovski crystals to the invite and took a step further and added to the outer card to create a beautiful frame for our invitation.

Lita loved the invitations, she was ecstatic when she received them.  I am so thankful to have some wonderful customers, they are so great with the feedback and are truly a blessing. 

I just love my customers, they are the best.

Green Goddess

Its been a while I know, things have been crazy since I came back from vacation, with getting caught up on everything and a slew of new clients, I haven't had time to share anything with you.

A few weeks ago I was approached by a client who was having a Greek Themed wedding and her main color was gold Gold, she didn't have any other color for her wedding design but she liked green. She wanted something different that would stand out from the rest. We put our heads together and decided on Green and Gold for the colors, she picked out her embellishments and I went to work.  This is the design that she chose, what do you think?

Custom Couture Weding

Marie wanted invitations to match her venue as well as her style. Her wedding venue is located at a gorgeous hotel right on the beach and is absolutely a stunning location to have a wedding.

Her colors are lavender and silver, so I designed this invitation and she just fell in love with the design.

 

On the front we wanted to do something a little more dramatic, so we added a large satin ribbon with bow in deep purple, but we didnt stop there, we decided we needed more impact and added a gorgeous crystal encrusted round brooch.

Marie really liked the chandelier look, so we added a beautiful chandelier design on the card and topped it off with swarovski crystals, you should see these little beauties when they catch the light. Absolutely stunning.

We added our exclusive designed pocket to hold all the information for Marie, which added so much flare added flare to the invitation, not that it needed it.  I loved the way everything came out, and so did Marie!

Stay tuned for more to come soon.

TaTa for now my friends
