Arrow Save the Date
One of Stephanie's prized possessions is a tiny arrow necklace. So working off of that idea, I designed their monogram taking their first initials of "S" and combining them to look like a heart with an arrow through it. Since they are getting married at the historic Driskill Hotel, I took a photo and manipulated it into a black and white illustration. I love how it all came out with the gold metallic cardstock monogram tag and envelope!
Featuring: Custom monogram, rounded corners, computer printed calligraphy on envelopes, black and white baker's twine

Destination: Austin, Texas
Because many of Tori & Nolan’s guests are coming from out of town, we wanted to highlight that the wedding will be held in Austin, Texas. I did this by creating a unique trifold, accordion-folded save the date, complete with a Texas state image laser cut from the cover to show a heart over Austin.
I also created “luggage tags” with their wedding website printed on it. Using purple baker’s twine, the tags hang from one of the panels (guests can easily take this off and put it on their refrigerator). I created a play on words by tying the baker’s twine in a knot and stating “We are tying the knot”.
Finally, on the back we included fun facts about Tori & Nolan’s relationship (such as their first date and where he proposed) as well as information about Texas.
Featuring: Laser cut Texas image (Austin Laser Art), silver metallic envelopes, luggage tag and baker’s twine
Front cover with Texas state laser cut out:

Blind Debossed Wedding Invitations
When meeting with Meghan, it was so nice that she already had a vision for her invitations. She loves letterpress printing and wanted to incorporate flowers into the design. Since I'm obsessed with letterpress printing, I couldn't wait to get started. I designed a 5" x 7" invitation, letterpress printed in gray with the floral design blind debossed into the 110lb Crane's Lettra cover stock. I love the subtle look of the flowers as it brings in a vintage style to it.
Features: Letterpress printing, blind debossing, 110lb Crane's Lettra cover stock in Pearl and computer printed calligraphy (of guest addresses) on face of envelope.

Inspired by The Driskill
Catherine is getting married at the beautiful historic Driskill Hotel in Austin, Texas. The invitations are inspired by the ceiling and floor at the hotel (see image below). I created their monogram using that same shape and created a pattern on the back of the invitation using that same inspiration. The invitation was thermography printed on 130lb natural cardstock and the back was printed in a metallic ink. To add a splash of color to the set, we included orchid colored envelopes with gold lining and matching gold metallic response envelopes. I love how we incorporated the traditional with some modern additions!
Features: Custom lined envelope, custom monogram, thermography (raised) printing and pattern printed in metallic on invitation back

Totally Awesome!
When Amy Mader, owner and wedding planner for Platinum Weddings & Events, asked me to create some 80s inspired stationery for her 40th Birthday Party, I jumped at the chance. I remember tetris, rubik's cubes, hypercolor shirts and jelly shoes too well. Oh and I loved playing Pac Man back in the day!
