Guest Books, First Anniversary Card's and 

Another Fold Over Invitation

My husband has left me for 3 days to work in Liverpool :( Finishing work at 11am, and being home alone, I thought I'd best put some alone time into some creating.

I had some guest books arrive today, and with only one in my portfolio, I set to work on creating a few more designs.

I wanted a Winter theme, so got the cutter and glitter card out again for one design. I matched one of the guest books up against my first monogram invite for Daniella, with a pale green and mulberry rose, And the other two came with what length ribbon I had to choose from. Lol ;)

Here are the photos:

I then set to work on making a First Anniversary card for my lovely 'May Wife' Nikita. 

We met through the Wedding ideas forum in 2010 whilst we planned our own weddings for May 2011. Nikita has always been lovely with her kind words so didn't hesitate in asking me to make her a card for her husband Barry.  I had a few ideas in mind, then on researching for ideas, Nikita found a card she loved and asked me to do my take on it.

I love this card, it's very vintage feeling but it looks fantastic with one of my newly downloaded fonts.

Here's the card:

Last but not least:

I created yet another fold over invitation. Becky came to me with a gold and ivory colour scheme saying she loved my fold over invitations. I used a dark ivory pearlised card, which makes the insert shimmer gold, and finished the look off with a gold and bridal white ribbon with a wedding invitation tag with heart buckle slider.

This is quite possibly my favourite fold over invitation to date. It oouze's glamour and luxury and I love how it shimmers so beautifully in the light.

Printed Wallet Invitations

The last few days I have been exploring the art of printed Wedding Stationery. And with a new win of a £400 printer on ebay for £90, what better time to start rolling out the designs. 

Kath Kidston seems to have a very huge fan base at present, with people wanting to incorporate her beautiful floral designs into their Wedding. So decided to take one of her softer floral patterns and try out of my newly downloaded fonts and come up with a beautiful wallet invitation.

The invite is fronted with her soft floral design with a centrally placed text box. You can have what ever wording you require in the box, for show purposes I used 'Wedding Invitation' and wedding date. The invitation itself is on a ribbon pull out tab, which on the front side holds your wedding invitation and the reverse any additional wedding information your guests may require.

Here is the take on my Kath Kidston themed Wallet Invitations:

And my second design incorporates a bunting or fete themed wedding. More and more people are using bunting for decorating their venue with as its an in expensive way of adding colour and metres and metres of fabulous decorations.

These invites are colourful and playful and will 'wow' your guests. The will add a smile to anyones face.

Here are the photos for this design:

As with all my designs, colours can change to suit your theme. 

These invitations are priced at £2.75 and come with a small rsvp and envelopes are also included.

Hope you like my new designs.

Fold Over and Wallet Invitations

These monogram wallets are just going so well. People are loving the idea of having their initials on the front for everyone to see, along with their colour schemed ribbon.

And since my first big order of the fold over invitation, I have yet to create any  more but today gave me the chance.

Whilst sitting playing around with my settings on my facebook page, I received around 25 likes between two likers. Both Sallie and Simone have ended up wanting the same samples as it happens.

Simone had a claret colour scheme. A bold colour for me to play with as I have yet to go with any colour quite so deep and rich.

Sallie on the other hand wanted a soft green with butterflies to match her wedding cake.

Two very different feels to the invitations with their colours but beautiful.

Post Your Cards Here....!

Today, I had the pleasure of creating my first Wedding Post Box for a lovely bride to be in June, Laura.

With an ivory and cadbury purple colour scheme. Laura made it easy for me to design, as she loved my post box I created for my wedding over a year ago. 

This is my first post box creation. Hopefully, I'll have the pleasure of creating a few more over the next few months.

Napkin Rings

Want something beautiful to sit in the middle of each table setting?

Then why not add a touch of glamour and colour but putting a beautiful hand crafted napkin ring around each napkin.

Made with either ribbon or card, these napkin rings come in array of colours and can be tailored to your wedding theme. If you fancy something different one your napkin ring, as apposed to the mulberry flowers and butterflies I've used, then let me know and we can work on a new design for you. 

Prices start from 50p each. 

I know from experience, that at my own wedding in May 2011, everyone commented to be on how beautiful their place setting looked and how it added a touch of colour without being too over powering.

More Monograms.....!

Ever since creating Daniella's monogram wallet invitation, I've had several other emails asking for them.

Since Daniella sent me over here monogram, I've had a little play with some myself, and so far, so good!

Emily contacted me asking for a monogram wallet herself in which she wanted a hunter green theme. But with the green, she wanted some sparkle. So we decided on adding a diamante and pearl embellishment. The response I got from her was lovely. I love receiving emails telling me how much they love my work and how excited they are to receive their invitations. This was the lovely response I got:

"Just to say we received the sample today and we absolutely love it. Your hard work and creativity really show through in your work! You definitely have a talent you've made us so happy and I'm just very glad I found your facebook page :)"

This is Emily's monogram wallet invitation

And then just a few hours later, I received another request for a monogram wallet invitation but this time with a gold and silver colour theme. 

After receiving the wording from Kelly, I decided that have a play with the ribbon too and go with a different style. I have to say, I really love this invitation. Gold is not normally a colour I like (I'm more of a silver) but I love how the gold really draws the eye to the invitation. I really hope when Kelly receives her invitation she loves it just as much as I do.

Here is Kelly's monogram invitation:

If you too and fallen in love with my monogram invitations them please feel free to contact me, and we can out together a sample that contains your colours and ideas. I love making these style invitation, so please give me the chance to create some more ;)
