Happy Friday, crafty friends!
Today I’m gonna do something a little differently around here…I mean, I’m the boss of this blog and I can tell it to do whatever I want!
Today, instead of one project…I’m sharing a bunch of fun, simple projects that are super easy to execute!
The theme: Monogrammed Stationery.
The reason: I just completed a TON of handmade stationery sets for a client’s wedding. She’ll be gifting a set to each of her bridesmaids.
The other reason: I posted yesterday and my post went missing! I really don’t have the energy to retype all my blabby blab, so I’ll just save that little tarjeta (that’s “card” in spanish) for another day.
The other other reason: Nothing makes me happier than an orderly queue of colorful, coordinated cards. (How’s that for some awesome alliteration!?)
The background: I was recently contacted, oops, I mean, commissioned (“commissioned” sounds way fancier, right?!) by a local blog reader to design a slew of thank you cards and stationery for her wedding party. She let me know the individual styles of each bridesmaid – and she let me know that the sets should be simple. Other than that, I had free reign, oops I mean carte blanche (another fancy word:-) to design the look of each set. A crafter’s dream come true!
So, today, I’m going to share with you the sets that I made and the “feel” I was going for with each (brace yourself for a million-bajillion photos!)
These are all great! I love love the bicycle card!!!
Absolutely terrific! These are all terrific but I think the first one is my favourite! I love flowers…
I like the stems best, then again there’s the bird cages, not forgetting the chevrons, oh but then how about the bike. Dear me, I love them all! Each speaks in a different language but all equally fab!
I love all of these, maybe I need to get my hiney cracking on some of these for the teachers this year!
So wonderfully varied! A crafter’s dream. 😉
Do you use the Martha Stewart or Fiskars grass punch? Thx!
Awesome, they’re all beautiful, and gorgeous gifts for bridesmaids! I love the touch of vintage ones (as I am a vintage-y kind of girl!) 🙂
Lovely sets! I love that they are all so different.
Those are great, love how each set is a bit different.
Love your cards! I especially thought the I bicycle was sooo cute! So I am wondering what stamp that is?? 🙂
The stamp is by Hero Arts. It’s red rubber mounted on wood. I got mine at Joann’s but I’m sure you could find it on the Hero Arts site! HTH!
Thank you for your blog with amazing projects.
