Cantoni Font Rustic Ornaments

The Cantoni Font Ornaments are small illustrations that can easily placed into documents like clip art!

They’re so much fun to create!

 I love seeing how they’re used in clever ways on invitations, signs, menus, programs, and more.

The Cantoni Font Ornaments are generally geared for the rustic, vintage look and feel.

I was inspired by the many outdoor weddings that I’ve seen and love!

But I included other images like the baby carriage and bottle, a ring and cake, as well as flowers and hearts

that would work well for baby or bridal shower invitations.

Oneof my favorites is the boots, with the Mr. and Mrs. on the foot.

(There’s a plain pair too.)

I think these would be darling blown up and  used on the chair backs of the bride and groom.

I’ve also created three rustic wood logs with a heart in the center.

You can easily put a couples names or initials inside the heart.

Other options to put inside: “Save the Date”, Menu and  Table numbers  just to name a few.

Or use my special ornament “you + me” .

I created the “blank wood sign” ornament to allow you to make directional signs, or use as a heading for a program.

I have to dedicate this last “Love notes” ornament to Erica & Chris Cantoni .

DIY Ranch Wedding, Montana ranch wedding, DIY Wedding

Their wedding last summer at Rising Wolf Ranch in Glacier National Park, Montana was the most touching I’ve even been to.

There wasn’t a dry eye in the place.

All of us were thrilled to see these two lovely people get hitched!

And best of all, all 7 of the Cantoni siblings attended!

Just like the DIY Wedding Words from my previous post,

you can easily work with the Cantoni Ornaments in Microsoft Word.

No need to have a special program.

All you have to do is choose Cantoni Ornaments font from your font list.

Create a text box.

Then click on the keyboard letter, number or symbol that correlates to the word or image you want.

You can easily highlight and change to the desired color.

Then print on plain card stock on your own printer.

Below is the Keyboard Map to show you where everything is located.

Darling DIY Wedding in Brazil

 I was contacted by a lovely bride-to-be, Daniela Grigoletto from Brazil, who wanted a monogram using my Belluccia font and flourishes to put on several items for her wedding.

This is a wonderful example of how a DIY bride, with some creativity,

can design an elegant, coordinated look.

Above is an example of the monogram used on Daniela and Marco Antonio’s wedding program.

Thanks to her photographer Gustavo Semeghini for all of the wonderful pictures.

DIY Tutorial: How to use the Dom Loves Mary Font Add Ons in Microsoft Word

This DIY tutorial: How to use the Dom Loves Mary Font Add Ons in Microsoft Word

was created in answer to an e-mail.

This gal was trying to create  “PLEASE deliver to” to print on her envelopes along with the addresses

using my Dom Loves Mary Add On Words and Text font as seen in the graphic above.

 The Dom Loves Mary Stylistic font and Text font along with the Additional Flourish package

and Add On font were all used to create this graphic.

They all come together at a discounted price in the Dom Loves Mary Total Design Package found in “Buying Choices” on the DLM font page at MyFonts.com.

This is a great choice for the Do-it-Yourself person who wants the look of calligraphy for less!

So I immediately thought, “It’s time to make another tutorial!”

I’ve been working hard all morning to create this video for you on my YouTube channel.

Just click on the video below.

I hope it’s helpful!

Here’s the link to it on my Lettering Art  Studio YouTube Channel.

It will show it a little larger.

You can also subscribe to my channel so you’ll hear about all the additional tutorials I create.

 

Both my Belluccia calligraphy font and her “sister” Dom Loves Mary calligraphy font share the distinction of being a “Rising Star” as well as a “Best Selling Font”.

You can purchase them here.

Have a Thoroughly Targeted Tuesday 🙂

DIY Flower Table Number Tutorial

This DIY flower table number tutorial will take you step by step through the process of creating these floral cards for your table.

These were just my small contribution to a big Dallas wedding planned by Colin Cowie of Oprah fame.

Once again, DFW Events, the impeccable party planner, was the local coordinator.

DIY Wedding, DIY Table Number tutorial, DIY Table Number, Flower Table Number, Calligraphy on Table Numbers, Calligraphy, Calligraphy fonts, Wedding fonts, wedding signsThe bride loved magnolias so they were a featured part of the event.

The wedding colors included both gold and silver paired with this beautiful green.

So I created a special mix of both metallics to hand illustrate the magnolia in back of the numbers, which were done in an off white.

Of course the numbers were brush lettered by hand but I’m going to let you know how you can create these even if you aren’t a lettering artist.

DIY Wedding, DIY Table Number tutorial, DIY Table Number, Flower Table Number, Calligraphy on Table Numbers, Calligraphy, Calligraphy fonts, Wedding fonts, wedding signs

Your going to use the same process for both the numbers and the flowers.

If you’re a lettering artist, use a flat brush and gouache paint to letter the numbers.  I used a  1/4″ Scepter Gold II brush and a guide ( see in pic below) to help me center the numbers.

DIY Wedding, DIY Table Number tutorial, DIY Table Number, Flower Table Number, Calligraphy on Table Numbers, Calligraphy, Calligraphy fonts, Wedding fonts, wedding signs

If your not a lettering artist,  find numbers you like from a favorite font.  Size them up on the computer so they will fit nicely in the center of your paper.

Print and trace onto tracing paper.

These cards are 6″ square heavy card stock provided by the client.

If you want double sided cards, I suggest making two separate sides and adhering them with double sided tape so they will be stiffer and stand up better.

DIY Wedding, DIY Table Number tutorial, DIY Table Number, Flower Table Number, Calligraphy on Table Numbers, Calligraphy, Calligraphy fonts, Wedding fonts, wedding signs.Next use transfer paper ( I used white since I had dark paper) and LIGHTLY outline the numbers onto the card stock using a pencil or stylus, as shown in the pic. (Available at any craft store.)

You can use the guide as seen in one of the pics above for centering.

Fill in numbers with gouache paint ( water based paint found at art stores) acrylic paint or paint pens.

Now do the same thing for the flower of your choice.  Find a picture of one you like on the internet,  ( There’s lots of sites about flowers that you can use so you don’t end up with copyrighted material.)

Download it, size it on your computer , print it and put it on tracing paper.  Or you might find a picture you like in a gardening magazine or the garden section of the newspaper.

Make sure to line the flower up over the number before inserting the transfer paper in between and LIGHTLY tracing.

Here’s an important note: Transfer paper has a wax like substance to it, so when you trace it onto the card be sure not to trace on top of the numbers.

Otherwise, you’ll end up with lines on the numbers that will not erase.

With a round brush ( You can get an inexpensive one like the Loew-Cornell Soft Comfort 14000 Round at JoAnn fabrics) brush over the traced lines of the flower with whatever color you desire.

Again goache or acrylic paint will work. If you want a finer line, or don’t want to mess with a brush, try a paint pen.

The gold and silver I used was a combination of gold gouache with gold and silver Schmincke brand powders mixed together.

Even if you just create them for the bridal table, it will add a beautiful look to your table!

 

I’m almost done with the hand lettering part of my new calligraphy font. Excited to get to the next part- digitizing!

Check out my current two calligraphy fonts Belluccia and Dom Loves Mary  here.
