Wedding Plans

Over the last several weeks we have been working on planning the my wedding. Deciding on a location, choosing the wedding party, looking at dresses, and designing the invitations. I have been having fun with the invitations, here are the ideas we like. Something like this would be the front and inside would be the text.

New Cards

I have two new cards in the shop. In a way both of these were inspired by some adorable fabric I picked up one day. I made the skirt card first for my sisters birthday. I liked it so much that I created another one to list on Etsy. The illustration card was inspired by the colors in the fabric and the beautiful blossoms that have been blooming around here. I made it as a wedding card to go along with the hotpads I posted about here. Again I was so pleased with the way it turned out that I made another to sell.

Unintentional Inspiration

The other night I had an idea inspired by a skirt I made for myself last summer. The skirt was an experiment using a pattern I made up. I was very pleased with the results. I thought why not make a card with the leftover fabric scraps? So I did. Somehow I didn't get the skirt quite centered on the card. Well I sat there wondering what to do about it when the brilliant idea to cut it into a square card came to me. Now I had this cute little 4.25"x4.25" card that I was happy with. The next thought was where will I find envelopes to fit? I quickly did some searching and soon found exactly the right size! I promptly ordered some. I may be listing some of these soon! A new fashion card line? Maybe.

Texture + Color

We have new paper just in time for spring! We have been using Canson Mi-Tientes for all of our cards and just recently ordered some brighter colors. This paper is just beautiful. The colors are bright and it has a wonderful texture. We are adding new cards made from Melissa's photographs on this paper to our etsy shop nearly everyday!

Vellum Cards

There are two new cards in the shop. This line of cards is made from my flower illustrations printed on transparent vellum. So pretty! I will continue to add more so keep checking back.
