Elegant Winter Invitations

Allison and Andrew were married this past December and had a very elegant winter wedding. Allison wanted a very classic invitation incorporating a pine cone, since she was using them as part of her decor (and bouquet!). We used a thick off-white card with a gold pinecone and border and black writing, inner and outer envelope sets with a light gold lined outer envelope. I also designed ceremony programs and menus to coordinate.

Congratulations Allison and Andrew--wishing you a lifetime of happiness together!

2011 Holiday cards

Here are some of the cards I've put together for clients this holiday season. Enjoy!

The Swirling Dots Snowflake card:

Virginia's "Believe" snowflake cards with crystal accents:

Carrie's festive stripes:

Other ideas I had for Carrie's cards:

Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snowflake holiday cards!

Here's my newest product -- diecut snowflake holiday cards! I saw this metal die a few months ago and knew I could make some really unique cards with it.



I created 3 different designs to start with-- shown above, clockwise from top left are Swirling Dots, Fa La La, and Let it snow.


First up is "Let it snow"
These can have a photo attached from the back, they can be used without a photo, or they can be embellished with crystals.




clockwise from left to right: card with 4 crystals and photo; card with photo; plain card


Next up is "Fa La La"--
This one uses a delicate fading swirl pattern in the background and incorporates a photo. You can embellish it with crystals, or even skip the photo for a very simple, but elegant card.

Last but certainly not least is "Swirling dots"
This one incorporates a photo and has the message on a circle that is glued to the back. This particular card also features the same dot pattern from the front on each leg of the snowflake.

Do you love them as much as I do? Check out www.facebook.com/jarofideas for your chance to win a pack of cards! These could easily be turned into Save the Dates for Winter weddings -- put an engagement photo in the center and put your specifics on the back for something really unique!!
