This month's Blogging Business Artisans Challenge is brought to us by Sharla of Beaded Tail. Sharla says: Your challenge is to incorporate your favorite inspiration into a project of your choice.
I
would have to say that one of my biggest inspirations are my customers!
If you've read much of my blog at all, you know that a lot of my custom
orders get put in my shop as new listings. I love custom work because
it opens up so many windows and gives me so many new ideas! And one
custom order may lead to two or three new ideas for my shop!
My
Wood Wedding Invitations are no exception! As of right now, I only have
two designs listed in my shop (with many more ideas still to come!) But
each order I've received for the invitations has been for a different
and unique design.
My very first order was of this tree design.
The couple sent me the design they'd used for other items for their
wedding and I incorporated it into their invitations. I love how it
turned out.
The second set was of my Carved Tree Design. This
design has done really well and I love it on the invitations. Only a few
minor adjustments were made to this original design.
This third
set is very similar to the original tree design, but the couple emailed
their own drawing of the tree with a few adjustments. I think the little
leaves finish it off...so cute :)
For this next set, the couple
described their ideal invitation and I emailed a few digital samples and
we came up with this heart bunting design. This one will definitely be
making an appearance in my shop! I added their names to the bunting to
make them even more personal!
My most current set is for a couple
getting married on a mountain top in Colorado! They loved the wood
invitations for the rustic feel and wanted a design that would match
their wedding theme. This mountain graphic was just perfect!
I love how each of these invitations is so unique and personal to the bride and groom! My customers are so inspiring and their ideas spark even more ideas in me :) I can't wait to create more designs for these invitations!

How cool! I wasn't sure how customizable the pictures would be with your equipment, but it looks like you can do a lot!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun to be able to do such custom work. These are so fun - love the carved tree one. That would make a great anniversary gift!
ReplyDeleteThese are so great, Edi!
ReplyDeleteHey, that's a great idea from Janet--an anniversary gift!
I agree that customers can be so inspiring! I've been given some wonderful ideas over the years.
Awesome job with this challenge! Customers can definitely be an amazing inspiration. I love how many new products you've added to your shop because of customer requests. All of these invitations are great. I agree that the little leaves on the tree finish it off nicely.
ReplyDeleteCustomers can always imagine more things than we can so it's wonderful you can incorporate so many ideas into your shop too. I really like that first tree one!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how you capture the details on wood! The heart banner invitation is really sweet :)
