That's because I started feeling overwhelmed with everything we do: wedding photography, handmade baby items and handmade invitations .. on top of running after a very active 3 year old.<br /><br />I'm back with a quick post about my latest invitations model: all white wedding invitations with a flat bow.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These were a challenge I got from Michaela (Germany). She sent me sketches of her dream wedding invitations. I agreed to show her a sample and she loved it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here's the result of my hard work. </span><br />

<br />
I'm back with a quick tutorial on how to make paper rosettes with printed letters and turn them into a banner. It's really easy and the results are great! You can save money on your props for wedding or baby showers/photosessions etc.<br />
<br />
Here's one I did for a photsession for a 8 months old baby boy.<br />
<br />
<img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFL3UV1eajVs0PE1WY3szrKZIf6yXyvBSJk57ExHKOyAN3aEiGbGBNjODby8LlZ3ihtOsRdTw8ggV4AVsWM_jjevqGpzfMHPATXIL-v7Nry7u_pBL7g9cih9mfj_TqrKUFjb4dI98XxB5n/s640/IMG_0311.jpg" width="640" /><br />
<br />
Here's how to do it:<br />
<br />
1. Take an A5 sheet of paper and cut 1.5 inches strips on the length of it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5jsBVhCSCla0hLqxlc-WTMrBYiUaGBuQHxMY38H9Dd5TM4qNAF2X9c62OMTIVRLdOUSXJ1AyYgiBVI-EeSRqLCBlD1kw7zNvqxZFjg30IofQBZ5RFoFcDTI_HQsSgbptqtk5uke-38q62/s640/5.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. If you have a scoring board you can score the strips of paper every half an inch.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWCAdDRKUu9Az6a-uA0Y8QIknWwJftnJ5_KwFORR8fm8Fi4Ec1EDOVqZz6T0p8AcZhs-aIJmmIcx0-yBkAk78R4zjTIBDf0jdUhPkLxA6AbL4KdnF1Orl1sEaYBewhVuzD11yT_-UpPYhd/s640/4.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. Start folding on the scored lines (accordion fold). If you don't have a score board, you can straightaway get to this step.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. Add a bit of sticky tape at one end and stick the ends together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL6e1plIrtSpmgTTWF3E0W23NN7Ws5DBCbS5QhejypXHcD35wV_-ETBZeI0kWyKdP2FPgQrAuXl6lfPI1pr4oWwUgVbBqouGvEoKxzGyRXWfU_IWdZ5AUrcpptDqksn4tTZAQ0p8TDuAgW/s640/2.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6. Simply lay it flat and press with your finger gently to the middle. You can add some glue at this point or do like I did and stick the letters to keep it in place.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdPHhSUC28cCJ3sPdnJ5WGVAWT2-OnbqhpgxsH8ew5YkccY61o0c0pwR1CPjTlw44TRg8Z10fRZyjH-rD8ZQbDrE0oh9LitN2DTY5lqtSCxc1wF_hrstkR5MAW2LwkERKhMhgbpOYkxEwJ/s640/7.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
LETTERS: I printed out the letters in a fancy font and I used a glass to draw circles around them and cut them out. I could have designed the circles on the computer but I was too lazy to do it :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is how it should look. You can stick it on some pretty ribbon and you have a nice banner for your photos.</div>

</div>
Hello readers!<br />
<br />
I'm caught with orders and shipping and my son all day long but I decided to start a new section on my wedding blog: Do It Yourself Wedding Tutorials. I hope I can keep up :)<br />
<br />
So, I got an order from Claudia for <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/122444564/vintage-paper-flowers-strong-colors?ref=v1_other_1" target="_blank">my handmade paper flowers.</a> She wanted to gift them as favors at her wedding and she asked me if I could somehow package them for her. I gave her a couple ideas and she finally settled for this combination: cello bag + baker's twine + tag.<br />
<br />
I LOVE the final look:<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
Now back to today's tutorial. I want to show you how to print on pre-cut pieces of paper or tags. I discovered this (not sure if anyone else has tried it) back in India when I bought these nice card making kits that had small diecuts and I didn't have any stamps to stamp on them so I tried printing on them. As you imagine you can't directly feed the small tags into your printer... so here's how I do it!<br />
<br />
You'll need:<br />
1. A normal printing paper<br />
2. A printer with direct feed (haven't tried auto feed yet). Mine's an HP inkjet that takes on thicker papers and cardstock.<br />
3. Your tags or pieces of paper. I cut mine using the Alterations Tags from Tim Holtz. For those of you that aren't familiar with die cutting you need a machine like Sizzix or Cuttlebug to help you out here. Or you can take the easy way out and order your tags from ebay.<br />
4. A pair of scissors<br />
5. A double sticky tape or a tacky one.<br />
6. A pencil.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgZ8OIlfgHAZQnbM1wBpKPWASjlyiBs0VjcqTTObCMTC8NP3zQC43O8rfu5S7-0wXm1qvX0I14oyqwXbNucjQeEoF-jSQUHYvA1QqKHHE6Fn09KJCmifURxW0DOy1GHuyt8nEEtvXngSD_/s640/1.jpg" width="468" /></div>
<br />
<br />
STEP 1: Design your text and test it out on a piece of regular paper to fit your pre-cut paper/tags. You can print more sizes on one sheet of paper and pick the one you like. When you're pleased with the size, take a new sheet of paper and print it out again using the size you liked best.<br />
I am printing 3 tags at a time so I printed my text out 3 times on the sheet of paper.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdv9ZMUOKacuIy_tjEJzn56Zx_nhugx7gXqLJKsf3pshVs2U5jIYGsZTLYj506_W2TUQY47dWptI_iWaj7Dpf34sj-KDmLs4QBVMnsWRdepHnwMlgSUsrCuaTRKg5BqlPsDut8o_fGExzN/s640/2.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<br />
<br />
STEP2: Stick the tags to the printed paper, arranging them so the text would come where you want it to.<br />
If you use regular double sticky tape, before you fix the tags, make sure you dab the glue with your fingers several times so it loses the strength to stick otherwise you will tear your tags (see the 2nd photo!)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgb1fRQPVbG9JvHDdBo7DZKQdoCgn_TLKRPPMp5Ls4CGN1dM-o3Olgh9NauKiNV2hdLo2HFQ0txV7b676REp21d2QqzH0l2HYQAXWChmIRso88iN7aRm6BgGEQjH0xDidvSyeudcEJPau4/s640/3.jpg" width="468" /></div>
<br />
STEP 3: Stick the tags in place.<br />
Optional: Mark the exact place of the tags with a pencil so it's easier to re-use if needed.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSbnM63uHBYlMr2RbESvy1xnb23QJUinlzQpgVmZ5yrjr7lxpn_pHOEWkixQ4WyDmMFOXnvqqA2Hw-JRX97h8nQrXgdS5hQMIFkiT6kZ7OdxWjk4hkkBc4JzYJI2rLcqSiYVfdHVDpiBrK/s640/4.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<br />
STEP4: Feed it to the printer! :) Make sure you introduce the paper the same way you did when you printed the text on the white sheet of paper. Hit Print again.<br />
When it's done just carefully peel off your tags.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY0hqoSyOPrde_Utm18sVapo-dmQWbOxwcpxvrBMudKatOjqEkLfMnesp1_LXAeTGtRkytQguJInrLd_BUttzGaYVhzCIQP1docU9Aoz3GXCLrMWxW2EhfQmMUnxIV0C4e7GRm-QeS6U8I/s640/5.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<br />
<br />
STEP5: ENJOY! You can use the same sheet of paper a lot of times over... until the sticky tape doesn't stick anymore. Be careful not to jam your printer ;) It works on mine but I think it depends from model to model.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I'm not gone :)... as usual I was very caught up in orders and what not. I'm in a good mood because spring has finally hit us! I'm out most of these days running after Marc. He absolutely loves being outside and playing.<br />
Here's a little something my sister clicked in our garden.<br />

I am back today with a quick post on my current embossing models. They each have a name in the "bubbles".<br />
Please note that I can get you other models as well, if you have a certain pattern in mind just let me know and I'll do my best to find that pattern.<br />

<br />
I'm back with a model I made for a customer in Italy. She wanted delicate teal and white wedding invites. I made her a few samples and this was one of them (the rest will come one by one, each in its own post)...<br />
<br />
You can find this invite <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/124307681/greek-style-wedding-invitation-teal" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

I know most people would think... huh Greece: olives, white houses, blue water. Probably I would have chosen an olive green and not a teal if I had that thought process... and who knows how the final invite would have looked like.<br />
But if you know me, I never think quite like that when I make my creations. In fact I shut down any thinking and I just let go of the feeling. It just kind of got together like this and even if it didn't hit me at first, now it just clicked in my head that this would make a perfect Greek Style Wedding Invitation in beautiful teal blue and white.<br />
I think the embossing pattern matches exactly the laurel wreath (That's where my name comes from by the way) and the olive leaves!<br />
The pealy metallic finish gives the center piece just enough shine to highlight a long gone glory of the old Gods of Olympus and the small scroll patterns I hand stamped just remind me too much of the Ionic Style Greek Columns :).<br />
<br />
That being said, teal will match perfectly with a hot summer in Greece, in a small white house on a cliff overlooking the deep teal Mediterranean sea... don't you agree?<br />
<br />
And no, I've never been to Greece... yet! I think I got influenced by a book I just finished reading, a remake of the old love story between Cupid (Eros) and Psyche. It was a nice read that probably just made me unconsciously assume a part of Greece somewhere in my creative thought.<br />
<br />
Whatever it was, I am very pleased with how it all turned out. Here's a wedding board I made myself :)<br />

<br />
Vanessa asked me if I could make my<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/122468926/hawaii-handmade-invitation-with-flower" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Hawaiian invitation</a> fit into an envelope instead of a box so I took on the challenge and came up with 3 different models of flat flowers.<br />
I didn't want them to be one piece and flat... that would have looked very boring and plain so instead I kept the petal-by-petal technique and got this:<br />

They all come in metallic finish envelopes and I think they're the perfect example of less is more. If you know how to combine color and simplicity you'll get stunning results for your wedding!<br />
<br />
Here's another inspiration board on Fuchsia and Olive color combination (I made this one... you can see the links in the caption).<br />
I LOVED the Indian bride on the last photo! Perfect to illustrate just how exotic can a simple color combo go.<br />

<br />
I'm back with an invite that got born in a creative brainstorming with my sister. You can buy it <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/123419237/kraft-and-white-handmade-wedding" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
I love kraft but unfortunately we can't buy it here, in Romania. I need to order it from the US and it becomes pretty expensive. Nevertheless I decided to use it for a special, rustic and romantic wedding invite.<br />
<br />
We also made a matching RSVP card and a handmade kraft envelope (but if I get any orders on this one I am going to buy the ready made kraft envelopes).<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Special cut and embossed edge, diecut cage and a handmade flower made out of crepe paper for a delicate look. I used a piece of a diecut doily for the RSVP to match it.</div>

<br />
I've been out for a couple of days. I am working on an order of the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/122468926/hawaii-handmade-invitation-with-flower" target="_blank">Hawaii wedding invitation</a> :)YAY!<br />
I've been busy contacting vendors, gathering up all the materials and over the weekend I made 70 flowers. I will show you more details soon.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, I decided to finally photograph the hairpins for brides I've been making. These ones are ready to ship and you can click on the photos to take you directly to my shop where you can buy them.<br />

That's it for today... I'll be back with more details about my work in progress so stay tuned! :)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654268872895832963.post-78008617447220236942013-02-05T15:32:00.000-08:002013-02-05T15:32:34.631-08:00Budget handmade wedding invitation: ivory butterfly and pink<br />
<div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
Today, I thought it's time I introduced the first of a whole set of invites for budget weddings. I know there are a lot of people out there (read: brides) that would like handmade invitations but are on a tight budget.</div>
<br />
<br />
So, I'm using cheaper paper (please note that that doesn't compromise on the quality of the final product, it just means that... well it's not "shiny" or imported) and simpler designs.<br />
<br />
You can buy this <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/122781562/butterfly-handmade-invitation-pink-and" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

<br />
I am back with an invitation design I made for a lovely lady I met on Etsy last year. She wanted a whole set with RSVP cards and tiny envelopes for the RSVP cards as well.<br />
<br />
I came up with this design: elegant hand embossed paper base and a textured diecut butterfly made out of parchment paper.<br />
She opted for plain simple white envelopes so we added a printed pattern lining to each of them.<br />
You can buy it <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/122651810/white-and-deep-red-burgundy-handmade" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

She got married in September 2012 and her wedding color combination was light aqua blue and white. So I came up with several designs for her.<br />
<br />
She liked this model the most but asked me to inverse the colors:<br />

<img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif_wM72MQNakVkFsVoGnwN7AUn0CfQjE1_6ns9aT__EjeSlTYNAPknN6UBDXRoMTBrUc1m7qY-88xGzsw1Rsi2X-E3ggl2FPI_EeNBFvVRPda6_8f8tdlB2KuD3tLw2dkf_57KXsdF8h7A/s640/IMG_8786.jpg" width="426" /></div>
<br />
So this is what she ended up getting :)<br />
Handmade boxes of a subtle ivory with matching embossed aqua blue strips and inside... handmade flowers from a crisp bluish-white paper with pearl centers and a delicate looking text design on parchment paper...<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #353535; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">Again the box idea is </span><a href="http://handmadebymeda.blogspot.com/" style="background-color: white; color: #99095b; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px; text-decoration: initial;">Meda's</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #353535; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.796875px;">. :) Check her blog for lovely wedding stationery!</span><br />

Talking about being romantic and delicate... these ended up fitting her personality like a glove!<br />
Of course, she asked me to make her matching favor boxes which I ended up cutting by hand and gluing together after a template... a lot of work but well worth it :)<br />
Here's a board of her wedding:<br />

It's my favorite season... so rich in colors! So I couldn't ignore the pull to make a themed wedding invitation for autumn. You can buy it <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/122513106/autumn-handmade-invitation-real-leaf" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
I used a real pressed maple leaf and made use of my elegant writing embossing folder. I chose rich creams and kraft colors and the envelope is also handmade.<br />

What do you think?<br />I'm seeing this as an invitation for a rustic wedding... maybe in a barn with a lot of rich browns and deep burgundy and even golden accents. I think it allows your wedding to go extra rich in color while it keeps it classy and a mix of elegant and rustic....<br />
<br />

I always liked the combination between the passionate red and the purity and honesty that white inspires.<br />
<br />
When newlyweds step into the new life, they should feel strongly about each other. Love, passion and dedication and these feelings should be honest and pure to the core.<br />
<br />
I chose to combine my handmade roses with fun elements like birds on branches and a delicate skeletonized leaf. You can buy this invite <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/122513715/handmade-rose-wedding-invitation-red-and" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

You can buy it <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/122516732/handmade-invitation-yellow-buttercup" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
I have some real dried buttercup flowers that I bought from UK and I was thinking of a way to make them stand out on an invitation. I came up with this A5 wedding invitation with a handmade envelope and a hand embossed background:<br />

As for the inspiration boards, I found quite a couple of really nice ones to help you plan your coordinating wedding around this invitation... or better said to help you match this invitation to your style of wedding.<br />

<br />
I am back! :) I've been planning to update everything and show you all my new wedding creations for some time now...<br />
<br />
I opened a brand new Etsy shop just for weddings yesterday so today I gave my blog a makeover too.<br />
<br />
I am in the process of adding a lot of products in my shop and a lot more will come. Mainly wedding invitations but handmade gifts for bridesmaids or wedding favors too.<br />
<br />
Here's a peek at what's in my shop right now: (click on the photos to go to my shop listing)<br />
<br />
1. Hand painted wedding favors - stones in linen bags<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
<br />
3. Decorative handmade pom poms from vintage paper - which you can use any way you like (for your invitations, venue decoration or even corsages)<br />

4. Handmade wedding invitations (of course) - the all time favorite hawaii beach wedding invitation with handmade crepe paper flower and a matching box.<br />

A handmade card I made for a bride that ordered some wedding favors from me. I hope she'll like it :).<br />
<br />
The card is made using <a href="http://melstampz.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Mel'</a>s inspiration and paper. The image of the bride is<a href="http://liastampz.blogspot.com/"> LiaStampz</a>'s <i>Elena </i>and you can buy it <a href="http://whimsystamps.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13_41&products_id=1368">here</a>.<br />
The card was sent as a free gift. If you wish me to make a card like this for you, please contact me.<br />
<br />
Here are the wedding favors that Oana ordered from me. Each flower is handmade using vintage paper and each box it comes into is handmade as well.<br />
She wanted them in more nuances of red, brown, pink and orange, but any color combination is welcome!<br />
You can buy them from my shop <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/100382208/handmade-wedding-favors-vintage-flowers" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I know I say this with all my invites :P but I like this one! Again the box idea is <a href="http://handmadebymeda.blogspot.com/">Meda's</a>. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This invitation is "born" from a simple "play" with crepe paper. I wanted to experiment with some paper flowers and I found the pattern for these pink ones on Martha Stewart's site. I liked the outcome so I decided to go ahead and create an invitation.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">At first I started cutting the pearlized paper for the base but soon I realized that wasn't going to work. So I decided to keep the base simple and add just a piece of silvery pearl to it :). </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It has such a beautiful shine and to keep it from being plain and boring the flower and delicate satin ribbon bring a drop of color to it.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Doesn't it remind you of a summery day? Or even better a beach wedding... who doesn't dream of that? :)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Then of course, I made the matching box. And because I didn't want to take anything away from the invitation itself by adding another flower I made simple petals to attach to the box and VOILA!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Hi there!</span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I'm back with another sample of wedding invitation... It has as a theme an indonesian wedding so it's perfectly coordinated with any Asian themed wedding. You can buy it <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/122515726/handmade-earty-tones-invitation-brown" target="_blank">here</a>.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I have to give credit for the box idea (instead of an envelope) to my friend <a href="http://handmadebymeda.blogspot.com/">Meda </a>(she has gorgeous invitations so make sure you visit her blog).</span><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I want to come up with "fresh" ideas of wedding invitations... that's why you'll be seeing a lot of invitations inspired by themed weddings on my blog. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This color combo is one of my favourites:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTLh7wSsksuo7yImHN9hHHZYcwMWOiJ1lBDB5Q-V2hbwcar_H2mMjW7lNCllQ4Ncc0KQr8x2dFDh1643UPEmVrClpRDQ5fOINAs4CHb1NVRl-ZOOvenPN51DXjVH8XvjKV1eXcsTzGLcdf/s1600/indonesia+sayang+colors.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTLh7wSsksuo7yImHN9hHHZYcwMWOiJ1lBDB5Q-V2hbwcar_H2mMjW7lNCllQ4Ncc0KQr8x2dFDh1643UPEmVrClpRDQ5fOINAs4CHb1NVRl-ZOOvenPN51DXjVH8XvjKV1eXcsTzGLcdf/s320/indonesia+sayang+colors.png" width="312" /></span></a></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The whole invitation is handmade (including the box and flower).</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I guess it can also be considered an "earthy" tones invitation. It would be suitable for any outdoor wedding because of the rustic feeling of the colors and kraft paper and simple string which contrast nicely with the bright orange and green I used.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I also played with textures and shines. As any fashion-conscient person would say: "you have to combine color, texture and shine" :). I guess I've done all of that with this invitation without forgetting the need for "luxury" in a wedding by adding the champagne colored base.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It's definitely not a "plain" invitation! That's why I chose the paisley embossed pattern (which is "fun" and "asian" at the same time).</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Which takes me to the nice part: the meaning of its name. I chose "indonesia sayang" after a research on how to say "sweetheart/love" in indonesian... that's how "indonesia sayang" was born! :)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">In conclusion, I think this was a very subjective invite model... Asian weddings are one of my favourites (lots of color and old traditions). Maybe because of my connection with the sour-sweet continet :). </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Hi there!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Today I want to show you an invitation design made by my sister, <a href="http://liastampz.blogspot.com/">Lia</a>. I like the richness of these colors together and the details make this invitation look really elegant. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I was just searching online for the meaning of colors... and here's what I found:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Ivory: elegant, old-world and soft-spoken.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Purple: royalty, challenging, misterious, glamorous, grown-up.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Gold: lavishness, luxury, warmth, tradition.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The rose is handmade and the envelope as well (my sister designed that too). I just love that contrast! Don't you? </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Hello!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Here's my second model of wedding invitation.... I love how it turned out because it combines the "non-conventional" with the traditional motifs.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I chose to make it more "fun" without forgetting what the Wedding Day really means: celebration of the purest feelings towards your better half.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I just love the softness of the details given by embossed paper, that's why I chose to keep it simple and let it "talk" for itself.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Details: white half faux-pearls, white sheer ribbon, matching embossed envelope (white).</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So, here's one of my first wedding invitation designs. You can buy it here: </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/122523295/handmade-wedding-invite-forget-me-not">https://www.etsy.com/listing/122523295/handmade-wedding-invite-forget-me-not</a></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Before I start explaining its meaning and creative process, I want to thank my friend <a href="http://handmadebymeda.blogspot.com/">Meda</a> (<a href="http://handmadebymeda.blogspot.com/">http://handmadebymeda.blogspot.com</a>) for being one of my main inspirations in starting creating wedding invitations. Her designs are stunning! Don't forget to pay her a visit.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">As the very recent "Royal Wedding" was so intensely mediatized, I couldn't help not to hear that Kate picked her bouquet flowers according to their <b>meaning</b>. So I was curious what my (long back ordered) pressed flowers mean.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Forget me not</b> is one of my favourite flowers... because it's so small and very full of meaning. It means <i>true love, hope, remembrance, memories</i>.... about everything you want your D day to be :).</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This special "forget-me-not" invitation has an embossed background and the pressed flower {yup, this is a REAL forget me not flower} is stuck on a piece of vellum. I used special patterned white paper for the envelope which is also handmade.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
