Orange Double Heart Charm "Love" Card

I have a new card for you today! 
A "love" card for someone special to you. The double heart charm is dangled by twisted ribbon. Flourish, word, and banner are rub-ons. The edges of the card are rounded.

What a beautiful day it is today in New York City!

Wedding Invite Proposal # 2

This is a much simpler design. From this one, please ignore the parts of the card where the white fibers of the core are exposed through the cracks. My main intention was to offer a sample and so I used whatever I had laying around to get the idea across.

As you can see, I used the same charm as seen in the previous design. The other thing you might notice is that I wrapped it with two different ribbons.
Now in the interior, it unfolds to 3 different panels. I ran the double ribbons behind the frames of the text. All of the text was computer designed.

Lastly, the bottom panel is for the RSVP--intended to be ripped off so guests can return it by mail. This aspect can be turned into a post card (where you write the addresses on the other side) or you can include a return envelope, which is not shown here. Ideally, it would be perforated, but I do not have that tool in my collection and if it was chosen I would do so. Instead, I have just cut off most of the part to indicate the purpose.
Have a great weekend!

Wedding Invite Proposal # 1

 

In March, I was asked to help my friend, Jenny, create her wedding invitations for an October wedding. This proposal is 1 of a few that I came up with. Though we are moving in a different direction now, I wanted to upload some of my ideas.
I thought this design was very flexible for a bilingual wedding. The middle portion pulls out and you can use one side for English and in this case, the back was meant to be for the Chinese writing. 










I picked up a pack of these charms from Michaels. It didn't cost more than $2 from what I remember. All you do is string ribbon through the ring of the charm to attach. The ribbon is tied in the back.
Vellum is wrapped over the text portion and confetti (stars for this invite) were inserted. You can actually shake the stars around
