Wedding Program and Place cards on Wedding Chicks blog

It’s always fun to spot my cursive font Belluccia used in a beautiful way.

This wedding program and place card design were seen recently on the Wedding Chicks blog. They were both designed by Julie Goette of TenFourPaper.

I fell in love with the colors and venue of this wedding in St. Louis.

The blush pink and white flowers looked so light and beautiful.

For the tables, the bride and groom named each one for a special neighborhood or landmark in St. Louis and New York.

Then each person at the table had a different smaller picture as a keepsake.  Cool idea!

All the photos are beautifully done by Clary Photo.

Have a tenacious Tuesday:)

Free Printable Place Cards in Calligraphy font: Gratitude

Today I have one word for you. Gratitude.

It’s how I start and end my day.

Since Thanksgiving is only 2 days away, I wanted to share some “Gratitude” with you in thanks for your encouragement, support and kindness.

I’ll be using these as place cards on my Thanksgiving table.

They’re made using my Dom Loves Mary font.

Just right click to download and print as many as you need.  Then cut on the trim marks.

There’s space to put a name underneath.

Don’t worry about your hand writing:)

I’m attaching mine to toothpicks with a glue gun and sticking in a pear that will go on the plate.

Especially on Thanksgiving, I hope you have good food to eat and good company to keep.

I hope you let your worries rest for a time and just enjoy being.

And I hope your heart is filled with thanks for the big and small things that surround you.

In addition to my husband Michael and my sister Ann who lives near me, my sister Diane will be here from Michigan!

My son Alex is home from school and though we’ll miss my son Nick, he assures me he’ll be gathering with friends in D.C.

And me? I’ll be spending the day smiling in gratitude:)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Free Giveaway Chalkboard Sign: Just Married

Today’s Free Printable Chalkboard sign is….drum roll please:) Just Married!

If you want to enlarge this sign to fit on the back of a car or truck (or wherever) FedEx Kinko’s can enlarge it to the desired size.

They can also laminate it and/or back it with foam core to stabilize it.

Or if you’re feeling crafty, have an enlarged print made and cut out the letters to make a stencil.

Be sure to leave some pieces of paper connected to each other in totally enclosed areas so it doesn’t create a space where you don’t want it to be. For instance, in the big loop of the “M”.

Purchase an aerosol can of Marking Chalk (normally used for sports fields) from Ace Hardware or Dick’s Sporting Goods.  Or colored Spray Chalk at a place online like Toolup.com.

Use the sign as a stencil to temporarily place the saying on the concrete or grass at a location where guests can see it!

I haven’t tried this yet but have seen it done online. I’ll try to find and post tomorrow.

Send me a pic to post if you do!

If you have a saying you’d like to see on a Chalkboard sign, leave a comment !

I’m in the sign making mode so you might just get your wish:)

Check out previous Free Printable Chalkboard signs here and here.

Hope it’s a Marvelous Monday!

Personalized Calligraphy for Baby Nursery

Today I want to share a sweet personalized lettering project I did for a client’s baby nursery.

I know I promised you more chalkboard saying giveaways, and they’ll be coming.

But I have lots of projects I’ve been working on and wanted to fit that in so you can see what else I do besides create and promote my fonts:)

So here is a the piece I created for sweet Audrey Leigh.

It’s 11.5″ x 15.5″ and is lettered on 140 lb. Arches paper in pen and gouache paint in two colors of pink.  She even gave me a cute little pink baby sock to match the color:)

You KNOW I haven’t had one of those around my house in a loooong time!

The client also had me create these small pieces to accompany it.  They will go in 4″ x 4″ frames.

Aren’t those the sweetest thoughts?

It’s really lovely to know that as Audrey grows she will have these as reminders of how very much she is loved.

And that is the coolest part of what I do.

Enjoy your Thursday!

Update on Dom Loves Mary font:  It’s a close race to the top 5 of the Hot New Fonts list! 

Dom Loves Mary font, calligraphy font, cursive font, script font, wedding font, hand lettered font, calligraphy font

The Dom Loves Mary font is now  available for purchase at: Correspondence Ink Type foundry .

Making the Hot New Fonts  list is a huge deal for a new font. And I’m grateful to everyone who got Dom Loves Mary to # 10.

But what’s even bigger is making the next list: “The Rising Stars”.

Only the top 5 on the Hot New Fonts list make it to that next step. I was thrilled when my first font, Belluccia, was on it.

So I am doing all I can to spread the word about her sister, Dom Loves Mary to  get her on it as well.  (You know how it is with siblings.  They always want what the other one has:)

So I know it’s the start of holiday madness ( note to self: DO NOT release a new font just before the holidays!)

But if you care to help me here’s how you can do it:

FREE Printable Chalkboard Wedding Signs using Dom Loves Mary calligraphy font

Today’s Free Printable Chalkboard Wedding Signs were inspired by a combination of my last post featuring a Chalkboard sign by Ciera Design.  And the giveaway contest I had on Brenda’s Wedding Blog.

The winner was chosen Nov. 12. She will receive artwork created with my Dom Loves Mary font including : 15 Table numbers, A Bride and Groom ( or Mr. and Mrs. sign), a set of 15 Table Number signs and 4 additional signs of the winner’s choice. (Ex: Sweets, Photo Booth, Thank you, Just Married, etc…)

Brenda asked the participants what they would want on their additional signs.  There were so many great responses, I decided to create the top 4 choices as FREE PRINTABLES  that you can download and print on 11″ x 8.5″ card stock.

Do me one favor,…if you like them, please  (with chocolate sprinkles on top) PIN them or share on TWITTERr or FACEBOOK:)Dom Loves Mary font, calligraphy font, cursive font, script font, wedding font, hand lettered font, calligraphy font

I put my Lettering Art Studio copyright mark to protect my work on the internet.  But you can easily cut out the black sign and adhere it to another piece of white or colored card stock when you are using it for your wedding.

I am having so much fun creating these, I’m going to post more tomorrow!

Enjoy!

How to: Dom Loves Mary font ADD ONS and Flourishes tutorial

I’ve created another tutorial:)

In this “How to” I cover the use of some of the Dom Loves Mary font ADD ON’s  and ORNAMENTAL FLOURISHES to spice up your design.

Before I get to it, I wanted to send a shout out of thanks to Lettering Time blog for featuring my new cursive font, Dom Loves Mary.

It’s always lovely to see a posting about my work.  But to see it on a blog from Spain was really cool!  Muchas Gracias!

Today’s tutorial will feature an invitation design by Nessa Sander of Cardgirl Invitations.

Dom Loves Mary font

 

 

 

In this fun invitation, she incorporated some of the words from my Dom Loves Mary ADD ON package ( “and”, “RSVP”).

She also added an ornamental flourish from the Dom Loves Mary Stylistic version of the font and used the same version for the words “dress to kill”.

I specifically created the ADD ON’s (66  commonly used words for invitations and stationery products) for use with, not only my calligraphy fonts, but with fonts you already own.

So I was excited to see that Nessa had done just that in this invitation.

Now on with the show and tell.

(I tried to share more details for beginners so feel free to fast forward through those parts:)

How to use Dom Loves Mary Calligraphy font flourishes

A few people have asked me to demonstrate how to use the Dom Loves Mary Calligraphy font flourishes.  So I made my very first screen recording! It only took 4 tries:)

I’ve uploaded it to my You Tube channel.  Hope it helps explain some things about the font and how the flourishes fit with the upper and lower case letters. Click on the link to view it.

How to use the Dom Loves Mary calligraphy font flourishes

Since this is the first of many tutorials that I’ll be making, I’d appreciate some feedback about what I did well and what I could do differently.

I really want to get better at this, so your comments would be greatly appreciated!

Yesterday, I talked about the workshop I attended with Barbara Close.  But I forgot to share the great gifts each attendee received.

They were handcrafted by Jeri Wright and Sherry Barber, Kaligrafos members  who put the workshop together.  They are both wonderful calligraphers and so creative and crafty.

Hand made sign, calligraphy sign, hand lettered sign, hand painted signThey made one of these for each of us and placed themt on the doors of our rooms.  ( It’s was a sleep over workshop:)

For both items, they used a combination of wood, wire, beads and paint and lovingly hand made each one.

It really added to the warm feeling of the weekend.

Thanks Jeri and Sherry!

Dom Loves Mary calligraphy font on Bridal Luncheon Invitation

I was thrilled to have the chance to play with my new “Dom Loves Mary” calligraphy font on this Bridal Luncheon invitation for a client of DFW Events!

I loved adding all the flourishes to the upper and lower case letters in the brides name.

The invitation, in hot pink and orange, was presented to the guests in a personalized champagne glass.

(For some reason the hot pink turned more purple in this post:)

Dom Loves Mary calligraphy font is launched!

Thanks to all for following the love story of my in-laws, Dominic and Mary Sementelli. I’m thrilled that my “Dom Loves Mary” calligraphy font, created in their memory, has finally been launched on Myfonts.com!

This week, I’ll be showing you some of the features of the font that I created specifically with weddings in mind.

Dom Loves Mary font, calligraphy font, cursive font, script font, wedding font, hand lettered font, calligraphy font

The first thing I want to highlight is the special package of 66 ADD ON words. Some of the projects these can be used for are: invitations, envelope addressing, programs, Bride and Groom signs, Thank you tags and note cards.

Dom Loves Mary font, calligraphy font, cursive font, script font, wedding font, hand lettered font, calligraphy font

Today, I’m going to show you the cool ways you can use it for envelope addressing.

Dom Loves Mary font, calligraphy font, cursive font, script font, wedding font, hand lettered font, calligraphy font

I included ” deliver to” and embellished titles ( Mr. and Mrs.( as seen above), Mr. Miss, Ms, Doctor, The Doctors ) to add a special touch to your envelopes.  In this sample, I used a combination of both the Dom Loves Mary SCRIPT CONTEXTUAL and TEXT fonts, as well as additional letter flourishes, that come in two sets of 72 each.

I had so much fun creating all the different options, I just couldn’t stop myself!

Dom Loves Mary font, calligraphy font, cursive font, script font, wedding font, hand lettered font, calligraphy font

This sample was created using mostly the SCRIPT fonts ( A combination of STYLISTIC and STANDARD) with just the city and state in the TEXT font along with added flourishes on some of the letters in the names. One of my favorites is the abbreviation for number (No.). I think it  looks really cool when used for Apartment numbers:)
