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.

To create the watercolor look you need white card stock, paint colors of your choice and a paintbrush.

Water down the paint to a very light consistency.

Then paint your colors onto the card stock using light brush strokes blending them together and let dry.

They both come with a border but to show you different options I chose to cut the border off of Table 3.

I picked a pretty pink shimmer card stock to back them with.

card stock then adhere it to your  paper.

The Card Bar Grand Opening Letterpress Invitation

Nessa Sander of  Cardgirl Invitations is a lovely designer who has used my fonts in many of her creations.

Here she uses my Dom Loves Mary calligraphy font  and Add On word ( “of”) for the

Grand Opening invitation of her shop  The Card Bar  in Lake Oswego, Oregon.

I also LOVE how she used the font, along with a flourish, for the shop logo.

This letterpress invitation is classy and elegant.  I really like the matching three

horizontal bars on the invitation and the envelope.  Check out the

custom postage stamp with her logo.   Just perfect!

DIY Advent Tree for kids

Today I am sharing this darling Advent Calendar Tree with you.

The idea came from the lovely Mindy Rives, mom of two beautiful little girls.  Instead of the traditional candy treat, each day is filled with a fun Christmas activity for your kids/family to participate in.

Here’s what Mindy did to create this tree for about $15.00 minus the tree:

1. She ordered the number printables off of Etsy (they were like $3.50)…printed, cut and glued them on miniature treat bags/envelopes from Michaels.

DIY Advent Tree, Christmas tree, Advent Calendar

2. She bought mini clothes pins from Michael’s, tied bows around each one with red ribbon, filled each envelope with a Christmas activity and hung them on their smaller kitchen tree.

3. She came up with a list of activities that worked with her schedule. ( Mindy works 2 days a week. She is one of the lovely gals I get to work with at DFW Events🙂

She kindly gave me her list to share with you in a PDF file. Just click on  Advent Activities .

4. She purchased supplies in advance for any craft projects. ( Michael’s is another great source for this.)

So far, her daughter has thoroughly enjoyed each day’s special activity.

I think this is a wonderful way to teach children about the spirit of Christmas:)

Watercolor Techniques with Barbara Close

I’m always looking for ways to improve my lettering and design skills.  So when my local Dallas calligraphy guild, Kaligrafos, brought in Barbara Close for a Watercolor technique workshop, I signed up immediately!

Barbara is a fabulous teacher who introduced a variety of watercolor techniques that work well for lettering projects.  I was so ready for some fun after putting in so much work completing my Dom Loves Mary font.

I’ve included the results from my weekend of playing with Barbara!

The top pic is called “Layer by Layer”.

I was so inspired by the weekend activities that I even came up with original sayings!

“Life is a Container”

Each of the pieces involves several techniques using a combination of watercolor, embossing, stenciling and collage. The sayings were brush lettered in gouache paint.  They were inspired by the works in progress and actually added after the each piece had been completed.
