March Madness Day 15 - Wedding Invitations

I was so excited after I met with the bride to be last night that I spent the following couple of hours in my craft room creating three invitation sets as samples for her. I love the black, pink and silver colors, and I think they look completely different in just changing out which color goes where.

The sets include a gate fold A7 size invitation, an A2 flat RSVP card, an A2 folded thank you card and a place card. I'm now going to work on the printing side and make up some samples of the text layouts for each, so hopefully by the end of the week I'll have them all finished to present to the bride.

March Madness Day 13 - Black & White Cards & Yoga

Today I'm feeling super relaxed after my yoga class this morning. I haven't been to a class in a long time so was a little nervous at first, but I really enjoyed it and hope to make it a regular thing.

While my husband is watching England beat Scotland in Rugby I've been creating some more beautiful cards. I wanted to use some black and white patterned card and paper and then just add one pop of color to each. I love the high contrast between the colors. I ended up making eight cards altogther, 2 of each design as I liked them so much.

I think they would make a great wedding card or even invitations for a glam wedding or party. Let me know what you think.

Its been a while since I blogged but here goes!

I knew this year had flown by but didn't realise just how fast until I logged on here to update my Blog and noticed that it was April when I last posted something! It seems that I must have left my head in the clouds after my skydiving adventure in April.

Well the summer went by in a hot humid flash and I was kept busy working a new job. I was also kept busy making a wedding cake, wedding invitations and decorations for a family wedding back in England.

Here is the cake that I made and transported over the Atlantic for the special day!

I also made a special cake for a friends 60th suprise birthday and had so much fun making it. The birthday boy loved it and was ready to sit down and play a game of Roulette there and then!

When I've not been making cakes, I've made two lots of wedding invitations, both custom made and designed to meet the requests of the Brides and Grooms.

I love to make custom cards and invitations, no matter how small or large an event, I can create something unique that matches your theme perfectly and that no-one else is going to have.

Custom Wedding Invitations

I'm just finishing up some beautiful wedding invitations for a wedding in September. These were 100% custom to the Bride & Groom and I worked with them to create the exact and unique invitation that they wanted.

They knew what colors they wanted included and the bride wanted to make sure it had some bling so I set to work coming up with samples of different styles and we came down to the chosen design. I then set to work making 70 of these beauties!

Made of a gorgeous deep maroon cardstock that I cut into a petal style card. The insert is a pearl paper printed with chocolate text and highlighted with a tiny crystal on the monogram. This is mounted on a dark chocolate card and attached to the petal card. The invitation is carefully folded and held in place with a custom ribbon made made of stunning woven ribbon in gold, maroon and black and a large oval crystal adorns the center.

The invitation is complemented by a lovely gold envelope. I also wrote the guest names on the invitation and envelopes in beautiful calligraphy.

The Bride and Groom were over the moon with the invitations and I'm looking forward to working with them on the wedding programs and other related items for their special day.
