Gourmet Invitations with Dom Loves Mary

  What a great invitation for a seaside wedding!

These lovelies were created by the fabulous Gourmet Invitations.

The couple’s names are done in a raised gold ink in my Dom Loves Mary Calligraphy Font.

And she used one of my special creations for the word “to” from my Dom Loves Mary Add On Words font.

 The lace wrap on the invitation adds a sweet touch

to the gold and cream card stock of the invitation.

 The invitation envelopes are done in a butterscotch gold

with a gorgeous printed pattern and die cut detail on the flap.

The address in my Dom Loves Mary Font and RSVP date are included on the flap.

   The white ink really pops on the gold.

Here is another beauty from Gourmet Invitations.

 The quatrefoil clover monogram logo was inspired from the logo of the castle,

Castello di Rosciano in Perugia, Italy.

This Italian wedding invitation makes a real statement with the colors (slate gray and baby blue)

and the unique gate fold presentation.

My Dom Loves Mary Calligraphy Font is featured beautifully on each piece of the suite.

 I love the look of the belly band in blue and white holding the inserts together.

It adds a subtle pizazz to the formal looking invitation.

 The envelopes were beautifully addressed with gray on blue again using my Dom Loves Mary Font.

gourmet-invitations-italy-wedding-invitations_0000-21-650x462The logo and font were also used to create the table markers (named after regions in Italy)

place cards, thank you cards and wedding weekend itinerary, schedule of events and things to see in the area.

This Italian girl was so happy to see her font used on this gorgeous invitation that will take place in the country of her ancestors!

A big THANK YOU to Gourmet Invitations for

continuing to use my fonts and creating such gorgeous work.

Orchid and Turquoise DIY Wedding with Dom Loves Mary Font

I hope you all had a lovely holiday!

While it’s still cold outside, it’s nice to relive the beautiful June wedding reception of Lindsay and Gian Franco.

It was all easily done using my fonts and some shimmer paper!

I loved the color combination the bride requested for this invitation.

My Dom Loves Mary Calligraphy Font, with added flourishes, is featured on each card of the invitation suite.

The ornament in turquoise from my Cantoni Hand Drawn Ornaments adds a fresh, modern feel.

The white card stock in ice silver and the purple backing in amethyst are from Marsupial Papers.

 I was so happy to be able to celebrate with the lovely couple.  Their fairytale union began

when the bride went to Uruguay after college. There she met the dashing groom, Gian Franco.

 The wedding and reception were held at the elegant Marriott Quorum in Addison on

the Dallas Parkway. Stephanie Gibbons and staff were extremely helpful and attentive.

The decor made the room come alive!

From the purple and white centerpieces , created by Jessica Westcott of Felicity Florist,

and the turquoise table clothes to the purple glow of the up-lights and votive candles,

everything was awash in beautiful color.

The DIY table numbers and menus matched the invitation suite.

The table numbers were named after places in Uruguay that were special to the couple.

They were printed on a home computer and attached to the amethyst shimmer card stock.

The tent cards were from Paper Source.

 Delicious heart shaped cookies from “It’s a Mary Cake” doubled as escort cards and favors.

The 8.5″ x 11″ Bar Signs utilized the same Dom Loves Mary script font and were placed in plastic frames.

Three tiered glass goblets held purple water balls lit from within with matching submersible lights.

The DIY Mr. and Mrs. Cards were printed on 8 1/2 x 11 paper then backed with the

 same amethyst paper.

I love how the turquoise ribbon is threaded through the cards and tied to the chairs.

Image 87The actual ceremony had been held previously in a lovely park in another city.

So a table of photos from that magical day were on display for guests to view.

 Photo Booths are really popular right night and the guests love them because they

are super fun and give the guests a keepsake of the event.

This sign features the same fonts and colors of the wedding and was

adhered to a foam board.Image-83-e1415202792533

 

 The bride and groom wanted to have props for their photo booth which are

fun and super easy to make.  The sticks and wooden pieces were purchased

at a Craft store then painted and lettered with cute sayings.Image-82

 

 How cute are these pics of wedding guests having a blast?

Plus, they get to take it home as a reminder of Lindsay and Franco’s

special day.

One highlight from the reception was the salsa dancers.  During Lindsay and Franco’s

early dating days in Uruguay, they took salsa lessons and wanted to share the

dance with their wedding guests.  This talented couple from  Salsa by Sal danced for

the guests and then did some salsa lessons for them.  The guests absolutely loved it!

 What wedding reception is complete without a delicious wedding cake?  I love the simplicity of

this cake in white with the three different designs on each layer topped with a beautiful silver “S”.

Fresh purple flowers rest on each layer of the cake.

This beauty was created by the ever popular Candy Haven in Denton, TX.

Image And nothing says thank you like a letterpress card printed by the Aerialist Press!

I hope these pics show the many things you can do yourself to create a beautiful event!

Felicidades to the happy couple!

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.

 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.

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.DIY wedding shower, DIY invitations,Dom Loves Mary Calligraphy Font, wine themed invitation, Calligraphy Fonts, Script fonts, Cursive Fonts, Fonts, Fancy Fonts, Wedding Fonts, Fonts for invitations, fonts for wedding Shower Invitations, Fonts for Baby Couples Shower Invitations, Best Selling fonts, Most popular fonts, Bold fonts, Fancy letters, Fancy alphabets, Invitation fonts, DIY Wedding, DIY Invitations

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!

Words of Wisdom from Dad to Daughter

I’m always touched when a parent finds a unique way to stay connected to their children.

So I’m happy to share some graphics that were created by F. Harvell

for his daughter who went off to college this year.

I’m thrilled that he used  each of my fonts to express some of these lovely words of wisdom.

See his daily inspirations on dearkiera.com

In his note to me, this loving dad explained how this daily devotion got started. (paraphrased)

My daughter, Kiera, headed off to college this past June.

I’m very proud of her and miss having her here at home.

She is constantly in my thoughts.

Throughout my life, I’ve come across a number of little truisms and nuggets of knowledge that I wish to pass on to her.

 I decided that I would create a new poster each day, with one of these thoughts or ideas.

I hope that she—even subliminally—captures just a bit of what is there and it gives her even a small edge towards achieving success and joy in her life.

So how did I win it you ask?

I was listening to Monica Lee’s interview with Annie Selke of Pine Cone Hill and Dash & Albert.

Afterwards I commented on her blog, shared the interview on facebook and twitter and was entered into a giveaway contest.

She seems to have quite a few of them with items donated by the guest.

She’s like the Oprah of the Internet:)

She has another give away going on but I’d feel greedy entering since I’ve just won this fab tote:)

But there’s no stopping you!

Smart Creative Women logo biopicMonicaLee_small

If you don’t know who Monica is or have never listened to any of her fabulous interviews with

Smart Creative Women, you have go to check her out immediately!

I work in my studio all day long. I chat briefly with my hubby who also works out of the house or a client who pops in for 5 minutes to drop or pick up something.

But it’s normally just me and my pens, brushes, paints, inks, papers and computer.

So on most days, I listen to Monica and one of her fabulous guests while I work away.

Her voice and sweet personality brighten my day.

And the info shared is always helpful to me artistically or business-y.

Smart Creative Dreaming with Monica Lee

She also has an internet course called Smart Creative Dreaming.

Check it out if you are in need of help to guide you to live your dream.

I haven’t taken it, as I am already “living the dream” as a lettering artist and font designer.

But I’m sure that anything Monica does is well thought out, practical and focused on what her attendees really need to get them further along.

She also does private coaching and is a lovely watercolor artist who licenses her work!

What can I say…I’m a huge fan of this cool chick.

Thanks again Monica.  I will think of you when I’m using my new tote bag!

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

You can purchase them here.

I am chomping at the bit to share my latest font with you.

Still looking at releasing it in May.  Just got to keep my nose to the grindstone:)

Have a Friggin’ Fabulous Friday 🙂

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.

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:)Dom Loves Mary Calligraphy font, wedding invitation, invitation with calligraphy fonts, blue and white wedding invitation, cursive fonts, script fonts, wedding fonts, calligraphy fonts, fonts for weddings, fonts for invitations, facny fonts, fancy letters, curvy fonts, curvy letters, whimsical fonts, DIY wedding invitations

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.
