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!)

First up:  
Mod Whimsy
 a trio of monogrammed cards – kinda like a little singing group or something!
Next:  
Simple with a touch of vintage
Third:
Strikingly Modern
Last:
Sweet & Fun
 
 
 
 
 
This last set is my personal fave, because nothing make my heart go pitter-patter like a clean white card with a single, bright focal image!
 
I hope this tour through my Monogrammed Madness has added a bit of fun to your day!
Thanks for stopping by for some Damask Love!

Keep on crafting with these other posts

  1. 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!

  2. 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!

  3. Happy Friday! Your monogrammed stationery projects are absolutely delightful! It’s evident that your creativity knows no bounds, and the personalized touch for each bridesmaid is a thoughtful gesture. The vibrant colors and coordinated designs truly make for a stunning collection. Can’t wait for more crafty inspiration from your blog! Inotia 4 : r/PCGaming

Your freedom to design must have been exhilarating! And yes, “carte blanche” indeed sounds très chic! Can’t wait to see the colorful, coordinated cards. Also, online painting made easier!
