Wooden Wedding Signs by Sweet Carolina Collective

Sweet Carolina Collective created these adorable wooden table signs using my

Cantoni Calligraphy Font in white acrylic paint on dark, stained walnut.

Each sign measures 5 1/2 inches tall and 7-8 inches wide and stands alone.

Signs are available as shown in dark walnut or light oak or weathered gray.

Here is a great sign for the reception!

Shown here in light, English oak with yellow acrylic paint,

it measures 5 1/2 inches tall and is as wide as needed for lettering.

Colors can be customized to match your event.

For a couple with a sense of humor, this sign is great!

This sign would be great for an outdoor, beach or casual wedding.

Oh how I wish this sign was at the last beach wedding I attended!

A basket of flip flops next to this cute sign would add a bit of fun to any beach wedding.

I know the ladies would love it!!

Thank you to Sweet Carolina Collective for using my Cantoni Font on these pieces.

Andaz Press Wedding Signs in Cantoni Font

It’s wedding season and I love to share great deals on printed products that might be needed.

This simple and classy wedding sign featuring my Cantoni Pro hand lettered font

was created by Andaz Press and is

available on their etsy shop for under $4.00.

Each sign is printed on 8 1/2 x 11 card stock and is available in chalkboard as shown,

black print on white card stock or white print on wood looking card stock.

This one in black and white is the perfect addition to the card and gift table.

The prints don’t come with the frame, but you can easily find frames at a local craft store,

( Some people find them even cheaper at a local Goodwill type store.)

and paint them to coordinate with your wedding colors.

These are just a few examples of the signs they have available.

I love how the seating is less formal these days.

How fun is this for the bride and groom that likes to have a good time?

The print is glam gold glitter on white card stock.

Would be perfect on a small table next to a bucket of glow sticks!!

Love the rustic look of this sign for the bridal party table.

Great for an outdoor wedding. It’s also available in the chalkboard or the black and white.

Check out more of their signs here.

Thank you Andaz Press for using my Cantoni Font for these cute signs which

are perfect for all of the DIY brides out there!

Team Chill Bow Tie Wedding

In June I wrote a post about how Chad and Jill ( a.k.a. Team Chill)

cleverly asked their friends to be their groomsmen and bridesmaids.

Shown here is a picture of the groomsmen’s invite.

I hand-lettered it in the shape of a bow-tie

and Jill included instructions on how to tie one.

This cute couple continued the bow tie theme at their wedding reception.

Here are the place cards hand-lettered in metallic gold ink on black ties.

The ties were then placed on top of colored bow ties

which were printed on this large piece of vinyl.

After each guest removed their card, the colored ties became a fun back drop

for party pics at the reception.

How adorable is this Christmas card complete with a photo-shopped pic of “Bert” the cat in a tux:)

Too much cuteness in one place!

Thanks to Jill and Chad for letting me share this creative and fun detail from your wedding.

All the lovely photos by Amy Karp Photography.

Delight in your day.

Stamped Paper Company Creative Invitation Designs

Jill Efrussy Sour of STAMPED Paper Co.

is a super star when it comes to designing unique items for her clients events.

I love the rustic look of this rehearsal dinner invitation printed on wood veneer and

featuring cowboy boots from my Cantoni Calligrapy Font Ornament Collection.

The bride and grooms’s names are featured in my Cantoni font as well.

The cowboy boot theme continues on the brown beverage napkins with

“The Perfect Pair” printed under them.

This lovely bridal luncheon invitation with a gorgeous, blue hydrangea

looks sweet in light blue with the bride’s name featured

boldly in my Cantoni font using a darker blue ink.

What little girl would not feel at home in these adorable, ruby red slippers?

This cute, whimsical card uses my Cantoni font in black with the invitee’s name

in red to match the slippers. The gold, heart ornament is also part of my

ornament collection. Metallic gold dots add a youthful feel to the card.

This Texas themed party invitation has just the right mix of

my Cantoni Pro font along with other text fonts. Love the use of

the western accents including the boots from my Cantoni ornament collection

barbed-wire, the stars and the state of Texas with the heart for Dallas.

The simplicity of the colors on this Save the Date adds just enough design

while highlighting the beautiful photo of the couple.

Their names, in my Cantoni Pro font, stand out in soft pink.

Thank you to Jill at STAMPED Paper Co. for using

my Cantoni Hand lettered Font in so many of her fabulous creations!

Art by Ellie Stationery with Cantoni Font

I am always looking for designers who use my fonts in creative ways.

Located in the DFW area, this one is right in my own backyard!

Art By Ellie creates one-of-a-kind, custom designs for all of your wedding needs.

I love the colors and use of my Cantoni Pro font in this Save the Date for a Jamaican wedding.

Who wouldn’t want to visit the beautiful beach pictured on the card?

More designs featuring my Cantoni Hand Lettered font include

sweet first birthday invites…

an Employee Appreciation dinner invite and a Business Holiday card.

What a great way to share good news!

This card serves at a holiday greeting card AND a baby announcement!

These wedding day signs are simple

in black and white, but each can be customized to your event.

I love this alternative to table numbers.

I can only guess that each of these locations holds

a special place in the bride’s and groom’s heart.

With Art by Ellie, you can be as involved or as DIY as you’d like.

In addition to custom design and printing, they can provide envelope printing, hand-addressing,

calligraphy, assembly, and/or mailing services

Or they can ship you all the materials you’ll need to assemble, stuff, address, and mail everything yourself.

A great option for those who have the time to DIY!

Many thanks to Laura, owner of Art by Ellie, for using my Cantoni Hand Lettered font in so many wonderful ways!

Have a delightful day!

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!

DIY Wine Themed Bridal Shower Invitation

I created this shower invitation for a lovely couple

who will be tying the knot in Napa this fall.

It’s a creative DIY that you can do at home and I’m going to show you how!

I created it in Photoshop, but you can use any publishing program.

First, I created the label with a photo of the happy couple framed in white and gold,

along with an illustration of a winery from the Azalea Smooth ornament pack by Laura Worthington.

(It’s free!)

With my Dom Loves Mary Font, I added the words “Grant Vineyards” using the groom’s last name.

The label was also used as decor on wine bottles at the actual shower.

Next I inserted free clip art of the perfect wine bottle,

and added all of the shower information in white against the black bottle background.

The invites were then printed on 120# gloss cover and cut to 3 3/8″ x 8 5/8″.

( Gloss works better when your printing photos.)

I then backed them in the rich “Mars” color Stardream shimmer card stock from Clampitt Paper which was cut to 4″ x 9 1/4″.

The tags are 3″ x 1- 1/2″ with the front saying “Please join us for a couples shower honoring

Sarah & Tommy” in my Dom Loves Mary Stylistic Font. On the back is a list of the shower hostesses.

I printed a large number on one sheet then cut them and used a corner punch to round the corners.

I put a small hole punch in the corner and tied a 1/4 inch gold metallic ribbon to the tag.

I then punched two more holes through the wine bottle just at the bottom

of the red foil of the bottle. The gold ribbon was threaded through each

hole and secured on the back with artist tape. Double stick tape was used

around the edges of the white card which was then secured to the red paper.

The gold shimmer #10 envelopes, also from Clampitt Paper, were hand-lettered using my Dom Loves Mary font style.

Each was sealed with a perfectly matched red heart stamp.

I’m happy to say, thanks to a great team of ladies, the shower was a huge success!

Pics will be shared in another post.

Have a Thinginess* Thursday!

DIY Wedding with Belluccia font on Wedding Paper Divas

Check out this lovely DIY use of my Belluccia font on weddingpaperdivas.com.

The couple combined their appreciation for good music and food to create a lovely personalized wedding.

The bride designed every element of the wedding stationery: Save the Dates, Invitations, Ceremony

Programs, Appetizer Menus, Dinner Menus, Place Cards, Table Numbers, Hash Tag and the

guest book shown here. I’m thrilled to see how she used my Belluccia font in such creative ways!

The tables were named after some of the couple’s favorite musicians. On the table was a framed picture

of the musician with their name in Belluccia and the couples’ theme “The soundtrack of our life” printed

at the bottom. How cool !

Gotta love Instagram! Here’s a hash tag card for the guests to follow when posting their pictures.

This couple thought of everything!

I’m thrilled to announce that Belluccia has put some weight on her curves.

She will soon be available for purchase in BOLD!

Here’s a sneak preview of what she looks like.

I’ll be posting as soon as she is up for sale!
