Foil printing is making a HUGE come back.  I mean, who doesn’t love a little flash of fancy when they open a wedding invitation?  Foil printing also adds a lovely touch to menus (ahhh imagine that little glimmer in low lighting!) and as this bride requested, custom Thank You notes for her guests.

Custom Gold Foil Wedding Invitation Tree Themed

Please disregard my lack of photography skills…I’m no Diana Daley.

I currently don’t have these listed for sale in The Ink Lab…but I’m happy to provide you with a custom quote!  Just plan in advance, since I don’t print them in-house.

 

Not only are my new Welcome Bags more budget friendly than the hand-stamped bags, they are also customizable!…..Even better, you can now buy the labels by the sheet, so if you want to put them on favor boxes, smaller or larger bags, etc. you can!  The possibilities are endless.  I offer a choice of two designs:  the Forsyth Park Fountain, perfect for your Savannah Destination Wedding and The Candler Oak, a great choice for a tree themed event.

Savannah Wedding Welcome Bags

Buy them with the brown kraft paper bag for $2.25 per bag OR purchase a sheet of 4 labels for $3.20 per sheet…

If you peeked at my maternity photos, you may have noticed my new Live Oak inspired jewelry by Savannah artist, Chris Carpentino.  Originally from Alaska, Chris came to Savannah and found great inspiration in our beautiful oaks.  His work takes real acorns and branches of Live Oaks and casts them into beautiful pieces of wearable art.  After discovering my work at Savannah Blueprint (my favorite printers in Savannah!)  he contacted me about drawing a Live Oak for him.  After seeing some samples of his work, I knew I HAD TO HAVE some for my own jewelry collection, so we started a little collaboration.

Live Oak Tree Skeleton

I worked up a tree skeleton for him referenced by a tree found in Historic Forsyth Park.

Chris took real Savannah Live Oak branches and cast me this gorgeous set of cuffs (my photo does them no justice).  These are one of a kind prototypes, but he’ll be launching some similar works in his shop shortly!    He paired the cuffs with an equally unique pair of his copper acorn earrings.  *swoon*

I can’t wait to see what he cooks up next! Be sure to check out his work at www.thecopperacorn.com

After many requests, I’ve finally designed a Weeping Willow Tree Fingerprint Guestbook.  Available in Black / White or Chocolate / Ivory, these trees are perfect for Weddings, Baby Showers, Family Reunions, all sorts of gatherings!  The wording at the bottom is completely customizable and you can even dress them up with a couple of my love birds.  For more details visit The Ink Lab.

Lover’s Oak is located in historic Brunswick, GA, and is thought to be over 900 years old! Legend has it that Native American lovers would meet under its magnificent branches to kiss.  The trunk alone measures 13 feet in diameter.  So beautiful!

I am so excited to now offer brown kraft paper envelopes for you rustic, nature lovin’ brides!  Being that I’m the daughter of a “paper man,” I’ve always appreciated the simplicity of brown kraft paper.  We used it to wrap Christmas presents and school books in it as kids, and we didn’t dare come home from the grocery store with plastic bags at our house.  (Cardinal sin to a paper bag salesman, and to the environment!)

I can’t tell you how much I love Emmaline Bride.  They are overflowing with inspiration for the DIY and handmade bride and they have a knack for uncovering hidden gems on Etsy.  So you can imagine my excitement when I found out my Thumbprint Tree Guestbook was featured as the Daily Find on Friday the 13th.

12×16 inch Thumbprint Tree Guestbooks are here!  They are the perfect size for small weddings, baby showers, birthdays and family reunions.  The best part about these little trees? You get the option of the standard black ink printed onto white paper OR chocolate ink printed onto natural paper.  (available with and without moss)  Sadly, I can only offer the chocolate ink and natural paper on the small trees at this time.
