Sample Wedding Invitations

These are examples of wedding invitations that I have made using various mediums.

This first invitation uses burgandy mulberry paper (handmade Indian paper) as a wrap.  I custom designed a seal for the invitation that holds the wrap closed. The invitation is printed on cream cardstock and has a burgandy organdy bow.
 

 This second invitation is a sample that was made for a fall wedding.  The leaves are hand stamped on cream cardstock behind a layer of vellum.  The invitation is printed on vellum, a translucent paper which is layered over the stamped image.


The third invitation is another fall sample with gold embossed leaves on a plum colored cardstock.  

What is your theme and color???  I can design something special just for you!!

Wedding Favors

Good Morning,

These are a set of wedding favors that I helped my friend Corine design for her sister's wedding.

These are made using the Big Shot die for the treat box.  I used Stampin' Up!'s whisper white and basic black cardstock to make the Bride & Groom. 

The detail of the brides' dress is stamped using the Bliss stamp set with silver ink and embossing powder.  I used narrow white silk ribbon to make the knot at the waist and to tie the top of the box.  i added small pearl accents around the neckline.

The detail is added to the groom box using a small scrap of whisper white and cutting a bow tie out of black scraps.  I used a black get tip pen to add the button accents.  I tied the box in the back with narrow black ribbon.

Very quick to make!!

Holiday Invitation

This is an invitation that I made for a Rehersal Dinner that was held a few weeks before Christmas a the Cape Cod Art Museum.  So a combination of a Christmas design with the Mona Lisa image on front. 

The envelope for this card was made using Anna Griffin paper with an opening on the top to slide the invitation in.   The holly image was stamped using STampin' Up! stamps and colored with watercolor pencils.  The cardstock is Stampin' Up!'s Mellow moss and Rose red which blend perfectly with the Anna Griffin designer paper.



Burgandy Invitation with a Mulberry Wrap

This is a beautiful invitation that I made with a Mulberry Paper wrap.

Mulberry paper is usually handmade in India.  It is a beautiful translucent paper that is hand pressed and shows off the threads and fibers of the paper.  Mulberry paper comes in many different colors and color combinations.  There are also beautiful mulberry papers made with silver and gold threads throughout.  It is perfect for a wrap for wedding invitations.

This is a 6"x6" invitation that fits into a 6 1/4" square envelope.

Halloween Wedding

Have you ever thought about getting married on Halloween??  This couple was planning a Halloween wedding and could not find a stock wedding invitation that they liked. 

This was the most fun that I have had designing a wedding invitation. The invitation was printed on metallic silver cardstock and layered onto purple crinkled designer paper.  The black wrap was designer paper that I found at Michael's and also had a crinkled texture.   I used the Stampin' Up! stamp set Web Wishes to stamp the spiders on the invitation and the web onto the wrap.  The web is stamped with silver ink and embossed with silver embossing powder.

The wrap design was inspired by a card from the Anna Griffin website.
