Momental Designs by Kristy Rice

Momental Designs creates some of the most exquisite wedding suites!

Each piece begins with a hand-painted design created by the talented Kristy Rice.

Once the piece is printed, it’s finished with actual brush strokes.

The end result is like no other.

It’s the perfect setting for my Belluccia Calligraphy Font which is featured in a variety of their invitations.

The gorgeous colors of this Bat Mitzvah invitation are framed with bright pink, metallic

gold and kelly green card stock. The honoree’s name, in the metallic gold, really pops.

The invitation set is secured with a simple hand-tied twine and darling butterfly tag.

The butterfly theme continues on these table numbers and menu cards.

White brush work can be seen on the golden, butterfly menu card.

The flowers on this Bat Mitzvah invitation look amazing on the wood veneer card.

Again the hand brush work on the flowers adds such a lovely touch.

The envelope liner is gorgeous with the kelly green envelope.

Here is the same invitation on a lighter veneer, using a light blue envelope.

How gorgeous is the watercolor band with the twine and butterfly?

Momental Designs believes that the invitation is your guests first glimpse into the festivities to come.

The invitation features the elegant William Aiken House, the location of the wedding.

The beautiful, purple irises look lovely against the black and white house.

Here is the same invitation, but with an elaborate, wrought iron gate,

a feature of the William Aiken House.

The purple color is added by hand after the invitations are printed.

Thank you to Kristy Rice at Momental Designs.

I’m honored that you use my Belluccia Calligraphy Font on your amazing creations.

Wedding Invitation Suites on Minted.com

Minted.com does such an amazing job with their products and my Belluccia Calligraphy Font,

I had to feature them in another post.

Above is the Big Sur invitation where rustic meets chic in this modern faux bois design.

The names and body copy are printed in a pretty teal color called central coast.

As always, you can pick from several different shapes for your cards.

Here the Big Sur Menu, shown with square corners, has the same faux bois background,

but with the “weathered oak” color for the wording.

I love the look of the Baby’s Breath Wedding Suite.

This beautifully shaped invitation is shown in mint with all the wording,

including my Belluccia Calligraphy font, in gold.

The RSVP postcard is shown in the color “petal”.

What a great way to cut cost by

using one card which requires half the postage!

The matching wedding program is so pretty on this buttercream colored paper

and it’s a perfect size at 4″ x 9.375″.

This elegant invitation is called the Traditional Royalty.

The white print on the mint background really pops!

It’s available in a variety of colors and shapes.

The RSVP card from the same suite is classic in black and white.

The Elegant Lace wedding suite is available in five different pastel

colors including blush which is shown here.

I love the way the lace forms a soft border around the wording.

You can choose from an assortment of slip-in envelope liners, or they’ll

create one in the color of your choice.

As with most of Minted.com’s designs, recipient addressing

is included at no additional charge.

Thank you again to Minted.com for featuring my Belluccia Calligraphy Font

in so many of their designs.

They are a one stop shop for all of your wedding stationary needs.

Please visit Minted.com if you like any of the designs I have featured here.

You can see the different shapes and colors available for each.

DIY Black, White and Gold Wedding Invitation

These DIY wedding invitations have a sophisticated look but

can be done at home with the right paper and font.

It was created for the wedding of the couple for whom I made this wine themed bridal shower invite.

The invitation features the bride and groom’s name boldly in my Dom Loves Mary Stylistic Font.

The flourishes are from my Belluccia Flourishes font.

I used Adobe Caslon Pro for the text.

The shimmery, white card stock ( Curious Metallics Ice Silver)

is backed with a black card stock called Boutique So….Silk.

Both are from FasClampitt Paper.

One thing to note, the white paper is a thick card stock.

If your printing at home, make sure your printer can handle it.

Otherwise you may want to make color copies at FedEx Kinkos.

I know their machines are able to handle thick paper.

You would need to print 2 on an 8.5″ x 11″ then cut to size.

The invitations are packaged in these gorgeous stardust gold pouches

from Marsupial Papers. The invitations are secured

to the pouch with double stick tape and the rehearsal dinner invitation

and RSVP card are inserted in the pouch.

This was printed on the other side of the RSVP post card.

The vineyard ornament added the perfect touch to this wine country wedding.

It’s available from Laura Worthington’s Azalea Smooth Ornamental Fonts.

They’re free!

On the other side of the RSVP card, I used

embellishments from my Belluccia Calligraphy Font.

( The pointing finger and border around the return address.)

Having an RSVP postcard saves money since you don’t need an envelope.

And the return postage stamps are .34 instead of .46.

The pouch was sealed with a monogram backed with black.

The best way to do this is to attach the monogram to the pouch just on the sides so you can tuck the end of the flap into the monogram card.

This allows for easy opening and closing by the guests without tearing up the invitation.

I addressed the envelopes by hand using the lettering style of my Dom Loves Mary Calligraphy

font then used a beautiful wedding cake stamp.

You can have beautiful invitation and envelopes like this by purchasing my Dom Loves Mary font !

Here’s a video I created to show you how to address envelopes with the font in Microsoft Word.

Checkout all of my font in my Etsy Shop.

Have a fabulous fall day!

Baby announcement with Cantoni Font

I was thrilled when my client Allison asked me to use my hand lettering

in the baby announcement for her beautiful baby boy Teagen Daniel.

A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E!

I immediately contracted the services of the talented Beverly Verbeke to create the design

while I focused on the hand lettering.

The navy ( darker in the pics than in real life 🙁 ) and orange colors were a fun combination to work with.

The beautiful photographs of baby Teagen were by Christy Persichini.

I loved hand lettering the saying she picked from Winne the Pooh. So sweet! And so true:)

I chose a fancy block lettering for the quote.

And used my Cantoni font lettering style for his name and the word “love”.

Bev did her magic with the layout and in choosing the perfect complimentary text font.

A simple heart adds a sweet touch to the back of the announcement.

The colors and heart were introduced on the return address, lettered in my Cantoni font style.

Thanks to Allison and Eric for including me in this wonderful moment in time.

It goes by fast… So enjoy your beautiful bouncing boy!

Have a Love me Tender Tuesday 🙂 Debi

Watercolor Wedding Invitation with Belluccia Calligraphy Font

I just love the way Jen Simpson of JenSimpsonDesign used my Belluccia calligraphy font to create this lovely “Watercolor” wedding invitation suite.

The subtle varied pink tone background paired with the soft brown lettering creates an earth and air feeling.

It was the perfect match for a Princess Bride inspired blog post on Green Wedding Shoes .

The bride and groom’s first names on the back of the envelope and front of the RSVP envelope as well as their initials on the tag with twine for tying, are small details that add great impact.

All of the gorgeous Princess Bride shots were done by Ashley of Ashley Bee Photography.

A clean complimentary text font as well as my Belluccia flourishes are all that’s needed for this sweet menu.

How fun is this peanut sign!
Check out more details of this lovely invitation on Jen’s Etsy Shop.

This invitation was also featured on the Wedding Chicks “Ballet Wedding style” blog post.

Another great fit!

Thanks for making Belluccia look so beautiful Jen!

As always, my calligraphy fonts, Dom Loves Mary and Belluccia are available.

You can purchase them here.

Still busy working on my latest font, Cantoni Script!

Can’t wait to show it to you.

It’s looking like a June release. I want to get it just right:)

Have a Truthful Tuesday 🙂

Wedding Invitation and Sweet Treat Signs with Belluccia Calligraphy Font

Saw this very cool wedding invitation suite by Foglio Press using my Belluccia calligraphy font featured in Southern Weddings Magazine and blog. All of the gorgeous photography is by Jeremy Harwell of Harwell Photography.

The muted tones of gray and tan along with lovely lavender made for a very sophisticated wedding palette.

Love the chic, modern look of the decor!

Belluccia was also used for the treat tags at the candy station.

Yummy!

Grape and Vanilla Cotton Candy? Who knew!

I love the tags with purple and white twine that were available to tie up the treat bags.

Check out more of the fab details of this lovely wedding held at the King Plow Arts Center in Atlanta, Georgia beautifully photographed by Harwell Photography.

In the meantime, my calligraphy fonts, Dom Loves Mary and Belluccia are available.

Have a Tantamount Tuesday 🙂

White Calligraphy on Gray Envelopes

I love the contrast of white on any colored envelope.

So I was thrilled to get to letter on these gray ones 293 times!

The invitation featured the Peoni Script font.

So I matched it on the envelope along with a serifed block style of lettering.

I have to say this is the first time I lettered an envelope for addressed to a Supreme Court!

I think it’s the longest address I’ve ever done as well.

Since it’s wedding season, I am in the throws of doing envelopes and invitations.

In addition I’ve been working on my next font that should be released in May!

I’ll try to give you a little sampling of it so you can check it out.

In the meantime, my calligraphy fonts, Dom Loves Mary and Belluccia are available.

You can purchase them here.

Have a Whimsical Wednesday 🙂

Wedding Invitation with Dom Loves Mary Calligraphy Font

I create my fonts with invitation designers in mind.

I admire all the wonderful ways they use fonts to make something unique.

I asked the wonderful designer Bev Verbeke to create some invitations using my

Dom Loves Mary Total Design Font Package.

This includes all three versions of the Script fonts as well as the Text font, Flourishes and Add On Words.

She did not disappoint with these lovely, sleek, modern designs!

I love her use of the belly band to feature the bride and groom’s names.

The bold black and white stands out beautifully against the soft contemporary blue color of the band.

Once the belly band is removed the bride and groom’s names are accented with a nice pop of color.

She chose a soft gray for the main wording and utilized the Dom Loves Mary Font Add on Words

to break up the text. ( and, on, the, in the )

I created these as a separate package so they could be used with any text font, not just mine:)

Here’s another option in color and slight change in the belly band.

The enlarged names that float in the background in a softer color create a subtle background element that adds just the right touch of interest.

And I love that she chose to use “Dom loves Mary” for the bride and groom’s names.

I think replacing “and” with “loves” is such a sweet approach for any invitation.

It makes you say “Ahhh” as soon as you open the envelope.

I designed the flourishes to go with the upper and lower case letters to be used at the designers discretion.

Here Bev creates a hand lettered custom look for the couples’ names.

I love that she chose the version of the Add On Word “to” with the heart:)

Bev is available to create these custom designed invitations or any other custom design for your wedding.

You can see some of her previous work here and here on the old version of this blog.

Check out her online portfolio

Or contact Bev at bkv@neo.rr.com.

Below are more examples of the Dom Loves Mary Calligraphy Font Total Design Package in action:

If you don’t need the whole design package, all of the items can be purchaed à la carte!
