Customer Appreciation Inspires New Listings

A while back I posted about a wedding invitation replication that I had done. I really liked the design I came up with too :) Recently I had a request for a fall invitation. I showed the replicated invitation to the bride-to-be and she loved it!

I was so excited when she emailed me these lovely photos she had taken of her invitation! The fall leaves are just beautiful with the invitation! This actually has me rethinking some of my photography as well!

 

And since the invitation turned out so well, I decided to add a matching guest book to my shop as well! I just love this new design and I'm glad I had the opportunity to create the replication as it stretched my design ideas and gave me new inspiration!

Colored Invitations!

I'm so excited to introduce my new line of Wedding Invitations!

In fact, I can't believe I didn't think of this sooner! I've added Colored Wood Invitations to my shop!!!

 

I've had the wood on hand for quite some time now. I originally made baby photo albums out of the colored wood. After a recent inquiry about adding color to my invitations, it hit me like a ton of bricks that I could add a lot of color to my invitations!

I think the first sample turned out awesome and I can't wait to get my hands on some other colors to run more samples! I currently have light pink and light blue on hand, but I'd love to run samples of purple or black...how cool! There are 16 colors to choose from!

And while I was running a sample, I thought I'd use the entire sheet of wood and make some pendants and earrings out of the light pink as well! I can't wait to get these finished! I have my first show next weekend and I hope they do well!

Have you made any awesome discoveries lately...that have been right under your nose?

Cutest Invitations EVER

I got the opportunity to create the cutest invitations EVER last week!

Little Noah will turn one in November and his mommy wanted special invitations for his birthday party. Of course Noah will have a Noah's Ark themed party :) His mommy requested invitations cut in the shape of an ark...how cool!

These turned out SO cute! The funnest invitations I've made to date!

Noah's mommy and daddy are buying him an ark toy chest for his birthday and wanted helping filling it with animals. So they are requesting that each guest bring a specific animal. They were going to include a picture of sticker of the animal, but I suggested engraving a picture of the animal on the invitation and they loved it! Each invitation will have a different animal on it.

This got my mind thinking of other shapes I could cut out instead of just rectangles. Now my mind is thinking of states/countries for destination weddings, a tree for wedding invitations, and how about those Mason Jar Invitations I made...why not cut those out as well! Oh what fun!!!
