City Skyline Wedding Suite

I just wanted to post a quick photo of the wedding suite I've been working on.  The bride wanted to incorporate the two cities from which she and her fiance are from (Chicago and London) and the city where they now live (New York City). We ultimately came up with this...

We did a city skyline combining all three of the cities and their major landmarks and buildings. We used a black, gray and aubergine color scheme. I hand cut (with the help of my husband) the envelope liners and bands using aubergine paper. The inner envelopes were printed with the recipient first names, while the outer envelopes were printed with the recipient and return address.

Here they are, ready to go...

This was definitely a challenging, but fun project! Next is seating cards and seating chart :)

{My newest Etsy shop} Parcel + Paper

Hello friends,

I know it's been a while. We've been super busy around here with moving to a new state, lots of DIY projects around the house (by my handy husband), lots of orders to fill and ship, not to mention the fact I'm doing this with a bun in the oven!

But I just wanted to take a minute to introduce you to my latest venture :: another Etsy shop! Since I started The Stationery Boutique I've accumulated not only a ton of inventory but also inspiration. I've been very inspired by other handmade sellers to take presentation and packaging to a different level. I have become obsessed with kraft paper and bakers twine for starters. I decided to open a little shop to provide others with the supplies needed to create lovely packages. My new shop, Parcel + Paper, will have goodies such as mini envelopes, kraft and colored envelopes, labels, colored bakers twine, cello bags, and other fun stuff.








I'm still in the beginning stages, but have already had three sales since opening on April 15th. So, when you get a chance head over to Parcel + Paper on Etsy and take a looksy!

Green Bloom Save the Date Cards

A few months ago a sweet young lady named Katie asked me about my Green Bloom Wedding Suite. At first she was just interested in the invites and the response cards. Now I will be creating all the stationery involved in her 2010 summer wedding. Including the invitations and response cards, wedding programs, escort cards, thank you cards, and I just finished the save the date cards. I love the colors, very summery. This set includes a 5.5 x 4.25 save the date card with a coordinating accomodations card, an A2 moss green envelope, a coordinating recipient address label and return address printing on the back flap of the envelope.You can see more pictures here. I'll post more pics when they're all packaged and pretty. Thanks for looking!

Happy New Year! Almost. After a couple months of trying to think up twelve different designs for two calendars, I have finally listed them on Etsy and soon to be added to my main shop. I am contemplating one more, but we'll see. Here's a little looksie...
