I’m a closet wrapping extraordinaire. I love pretty parcels. I lean toward the unusual and the home-made. I like clean lines and DIYs. I have a Pinterest board full of wrapping inspiration. Yet I’ve never attempted creating any of these pretty parcels. My craft closet has rolls of wrapping paper begging to be embellished to […]

I’m on a roll this year with vintage inspired invitation pockets. There was the vintage album pocket (my fav), the lacy pocketfold, and now I have the easiest DIY of all! Well, it involves fire, so it’s easy as long as you don’t have anything flammable near you. Otherwise things could turn into a rather […]

I’ve got a little trick up my sleeve for you today. If you are anything like me your penmanship needs a little work. Nothing to be embarrassed about. Ugly handwriting goes hand in hand with creativity and blazing your own trail. Well, that’s what Google tells me and I’m sticking with it. As D&Pers we […]

Hello and welcome to my first post of 2016! I hope you had a relaxing and safe holiday season. I’d say mine was a success. I didn’t go overboard on crafts, I didn’t spend the earth, but most importantly I did spend lots of time with family. I’m starting the year out with a very […]

What a week. Thanksgiving is done and dusted for another year. Phew! But who can believe it?? I’ve survived another Black Friday using my ever so clever technique called ‘avoid the stores’. I didn’t spend a fortune on Cyber Monday, and it’s just Giving Tuesday to go. If you are able please support your favorite […]

I was working on a Thanksgiving freebie today and a meme came across my Facebook feed, something along the lines of ‘November: the month where people who have complained on Facebook for the last 11 months become thankful for 30 days’. Funny, but I don’t think entirely true. Though if it’s true for you I […]

Weddings and roses go hand in hand, so what has taken me so long put together a template bundle all about roses??! Some might say I was snoozing at the wheel. I’ve certainly got nothing against roses, my wedding was filled with them. And of course they represent true love. Plus roses come in every […]

I know, I know… you’re saying ‘but this set already came in lavender’. What’s up with that? We’ve added even more purple! Purple is such a popular color on wedding invitations currently so we took the delicate lavender flowers and added them to a wisteria background. The result is gorgeous shades of purple in pretty […]

This Saturday is Independence Day in India so a fitting time to give away a modern Indian inspired wedding invitation. I first worked on the elephant portion of this design to decorate a lampshade in my kitchen. I want to run it around the bottom of a white lampshade, this project is still a work […]

At this point in the year the lazy days of summer are stretching on, and on… and on. I’m not complaining by any means, especially because the US Open tennis tournament is just around the corner. We have a small collection of sporting themed party invitations here at Download & Print, and I thought this […]

Plum, wine, grape, violet… whatever you like to call it our most popular wedding invitation bundle is now in purple. It seems not a day goes by that we aren’t asked to change a template to purple, so call me crazy for not having the best seller in purple. Well purple fans can now rejoice, […]

I didn’t grow up in Texas, or the South, or even the United States. I grew up with cricket, and Aussie rules, and men in tiny shorts chasing a ball. But as I now call Dallas home I have come to embrace football and the hype that September brings along, and all the hopes and […]

Go big or go home came to mind when Jessica Bishop sent across her latest design for the Budget Savvy Bride Collection at Download & Print. The Joanna collection is full of big, bold stripes. Stripes are such a timeless pattern yet when paired with bright pops of color or metallic accents you get something […]

Today I’m unveiling a brand new invitation bundle and I’ve got to be honest, I gave myself a big ol’ pat on the back when it all came together. It’s gorgeous! Not that I’m biased or anything. My original design inspiration came from a vintage hanky. I was out antiquing and looking through some amazing […]

When I told you last week that I’m on a die-cut kick… well I really am on a die-cut kick. Last week I added a funky floral cut-out along the edge of an invitation pocket (and the pocket template is yours for FREE!). This week I’m adding the floral cut-outs to an envelope flap. The […]
