Program Peek

This weekend was busy busy busy! I had a lot of projects I was trying to wrap up. In the end I got half way through and I still need to finish some. Here is a sneak peek at the program covers.

It’s my stardream sapphire paper in booklet size A7 and I stamped a modern Eiffel Tower in silver. I used starlight silver by Brilliance. My aunt Pam who is a stamping queen let me borrow her stamp and recommend I get a quick drying ink since the paper is so metallic. The ink drying in about 5 minutes but I allowed them to dry over night just to be on the safe side. I had absolutely no smudges the next day. Here they are some of them drying out.


**This ink is also good to use if you are using vellum.

They are in the mail...

I dropped the invitations off in the mail. They have been a work in progress for the last few months and finally they are free! I mailed them off about 2.5 months in advance. If you read my rant below about the post office you will know why they were sent out two weeks early. But without any further ado here they are...

I decided not to use an outer envelop. I loved the color of my pockets so I rather use that. But I also personalized the rsvp cards. I used punches on all the corners and I wanted to continue that delicate look on the lables that I chose. I wasn't able to find anything that really matched so i came up with my own labels. I loved them!


Ahhh...a job well done!

Puffs

So I was recently on my favorite wedding site weddingbee.com and I noticed one of the bees posted a link to Martha Stewart. Apparently Martha is now helping the DIY brides with less skill to make some of her great ideas. Such as the paper flowers and paper puffs. I think this is great. But so overpriced! My BM Kori made puffs for her 2006 wedding and at way less cost than Martha. Look at all the colors you can get! One bundle is 480 sheets for only $32.00 at packaging specialties! Kori had like 4 different colors and still had paper left over after we covered her whole ceiling at the reception. It just goes to show that shopping around is always a good idea.
