Spring has finally sprung, wildflowers are popping up everywhere in my neck of the woods, I’ve got the windows open and today I’m feeling all flowers in your hair. A perfect time for this folksy wedding invitation. The earthy tones and folk art birds and flowers are set off beautifully by the stitched ribbon border. […]

If you’ve been following along with my DIY wedding invitations for a while you know that one tool I love to pull out of my bag of tricks is a gold paint pen. It does a killer impersonation of gold foil. There’s a time and a place (read that as when is there NOT a […]

Some time last year I tucked an idea into the back of my mind and this week inspiration struck, which is great news for you as it means it’s FREEBIE time! I really like the shape of Anna’s DIY die-cut invitation. Anna paired it with a solid black border for very clean lines. I could […]

Did you notice how I slipped in ‘free beer’ at the beginning of this post? I’m giving subliminal advertising a try. Ha! Just kidding, it wasn’t by design. Truly. I am not offering free beer and if you ended up here under that premise I apologize profusely. I am offering a free party invitation that […]

Top o’ the morning to you. If you’ve a little shamrock on the way, the luck of the Irish has just struck by way of a free St. Patrick’s themed baby shower invitation. My favorite part of this shamrock baby shower invitation is the Irish blessing on the reverse. May the dreams you hold dearest […]

It’s already week three of 2017 and I’m still feeling craft fatigue after the holidays. I worked on a few projects before Christmas that were fun but time-intensive, and I’m just not ready to pick up my glue gun yet. If you feel the same way I’ve got your Valentine’s craft covered in the form […]

I’ve had so much fun over the last three weeks sharing Thanksgiving printables with you. To recap quickly there was the fall place card and give thanks bunting, and today I have another way for your to share thanks at the table. It’s a napkin wrap with space for each guest to write in their […]

Woohoo! November has rolled around. There’s lots of big things happening for me in November this year and I couldn’t be more excited. Plus the last two months of the year have always been my favorite. I love me some hot weather, but I think I love the anticipation, love and gratitude that goes with […]

Raise your hand if you can feel the holidays coming on?!! Ok, enough with the death stares. Labor day has been and gone, it’s still dark at 7 am, we’ve packed all our white clothes away, and I’m feeling a little festive. I can’t be the only one! The marketing machine has been peddling Halloween […]

Today’s freebie project has got me going a little dotty! My office is covered in giant confetti, and there’s nothing like giant tissue dots floating around to bring a smile to my face.. and drive the dog nuts. This project is a super-sized version of send-off confetti. Keep reading for the simple (and therapeutic) steps […]

My love of office supplies shines through again as I go all MacGyver on a simple binder clip. I think I’d be proud to be known as the MacGyver of wedding stationery. Give me any everyday item and with a bit of hot glue / spray paint / decoupage / sparkle I’ll make it wedding […]

I’m calling this a pocket invitation though technically it doesn’t have a “pocket” for your invitation to slide into. Let me roll with it though as this is hands down the most inexpensive way you can get the pocket look for your wedding announcements. I’ve showed you how to make pockets and pochettes before, but […]

I feel like it’s time to throw in a masculine project. With all the bows, lace, and gilding of late I’m not doing justice to half the engaged couples out there (that is the soon-to-be-grooms). I’ve come up with a felt pouch to wrap your invitation loveliness in. I chose to go with an industrial […]

I’ve committed to producing 52 projects this year, one each Wednesday. It’s a lofty goal. I have to find inspiration when inspiration is lacking. Some projects I like better than others. In fact, some projects are not really my style at all, but since I’m producing these for you and your varied likes and dislikes […]

Sugar and spice and all things nice. That’s how I’d describe this bridal shower invitation. It has the sweetest sculptured wedding dress, you can skip down below to see how easy this is to make. The invitation is simple, giving the dress room to shine. The dress is raised up from the invitation using stick-on […]
