Wedding Invitations

I made these a few months ago, and figured I can finally post them without having to edit info out since the wedding is over! These were for my sister's recent wedding. Her colors were (of course) purple, teal, and brown.

Valentine's Cards

A few weeks ago I noticed a few fun ideas while looking around one of my favorite stores, Impress Rubber Stamps. I bought some red and pink velvet ribbon, a greeting stamp, and made a mental note of a few paper punches to look for on a sale at Michael's. Since finishing the string of crochet hearts, I've had the past couple days to pull all my paper craft stuff out and create!

Some of my favorite products right now are alcohol based Copic markers, punches and these super fun grass cutting scissors from Martha Stewart.

I hope you enjoy them! I've even listed a few on my Etsy shop!

Christmas Card 2009

Guess what? I'm finally posting an art blog! I know it's been a few months, but I've been working on some larger time-consuming projects. I've spent a few days off and on working on our Christmas cards, and they're finally (all 60!) in the mail! Check it out! My favorite part is the little poof ball on the snow hat.

It's a Card Day!

I got some new stamps last week, and spent Friday evening and some of the day on Saturday making cards, finishing up the last season of Murder She Wrote (tear), and trying not to get dizzy. I made some Christmas cards, some baby cards, and some just for fun cards. Many of them are now listed on etsy! Below are some that I had fun making.

The following 2 cards are my absolute favorites!

A Batch of Cards

30 cards that is. A little over a week ago I got two orders for thank you cards. One was for 10 cards, the other for 20. It took me a little longer than normal to get through them because I've been sick for the past couple weeks, but at last they are done and in the mail! I took some pictures of the process. Basically, I cut the card paper, stamped the trees and cut them, cut yellow and blue layering paper, added the yellow twine, stamped and cut thanks, layered and cut the blue behind the greeting, and glued them all together!

Baby Shower Invitations

I started working on ideas for these invitations about a month ago. I made a few different "pockets" before I found colors and rubber stamp combinations I liked. I began with a peach/cream/brown combo, but it ended up looking too halloweenish too me. I've decided I really enjoy sewing on cards I make, and it sticks so much better than glue! Once I had the design figured out it took a few days to get them put together and printed. Yay for 32 finished invitations!

Bridal Shower Invitations

I've spent some time over the past few weeks working on these invitations to a bridal shower for the fiancee of Tom's cousin! I think these are my favorite yet! I sewed the little sleeves together after lightly gluing on the layer of pearly paper and Amy Butler paper. The informational invitation part I did in Photoshop, and then stamped flowers and glued the pearl on. 

Shower Invitations

My cousin is getting married in June, so her sister and I are throwing a shower for her next month. I had a fun visit with Jamie last week to work out some shower plans and do a little prep shopping. I spent a few hours this weekend designing and putting together invitations. Here's what they look like!
