I worked with this Bride to create the perfect Wedding Invitations and of course we had to add in a matching RSVP card. After she saw how amazing the two went together, she asked if I could create Thank You Notes as well! Of course!!!! I created two different styles so she could use one for her Bridal Shower and one for her Wedding. I even stamped the sunflower on the inside corner as well! I love how the sunflower theme was carried out through all of the items.

I embossed the background with my Beautifully Baroque Embossing Folder which I love because it has this elegant pattern to it!

Elegant & Simple Wedding Invitations

Posted on

Baroque Wedding Invites,wwwLaurasStampPad.com

I love the elegant scroll look of this Wedding Invitation that I created for a Bride. Her colors were Marina Mist and Basic Gray! I then used the Baroque Motifs Stamp Set which retired a few years ago but you can still get the Digital Download – Baroque Motifs! That’s the best thing about Digital Downloads, they never retire! This invitation was created as a 5″ x 7″ and had a matching RSVP card with a little of the stamped image on there as well! I love how these items pair together and look amazing!

Once you have your colors and theme/image picked for your wedding, I can create the perfect Save the Date, Invitation, Program, Place Cards, Thank You Notes, and so much more for your special day! If you would like to get your crafty side out, I can help with the design and supplies and you can create them yourself (or with all of you best girls)!!!! Email me today to get started! I do other celebrations as well! You can check out more samples by clicking here!

Bridal Showers!!!

Posted on

Wedding Season is in full bloom! That means there are lots of Wedding Showers taking place as well. Well if you are in charge of an upcoming Wedding (or Baby) Shower and need fabulous ideas or help with making them, I am here for you! I would love to help you with your crafty side and make amazing shower invites, favors, etc OR I am more than happy to make that perfect piece for you! Leave me a comment down below and we can get started! Now for those fabulous ideas…..

Bridal Shower, Rustic, Elegant, www.LaurasStampPad.com

These fabulous Bridal Shower invites were made for a friend of mine who is having a Rustic/Elegant Wedding theme! That seems to be another popular theme lately! I played around with a few samples before we landed on this one. The one above was created with the Daydream Medallion Stamp Set and matching Floral Frames Framelits!!! I love playing with this stamp set. I started with a piece of 8-1/2 x 11 Very Vanilla cardstock and just stamped all over in So Saffron and Crumb Cake (sometimes stamping a few times before returning to the ink pad for that variation of color). Then I took the stamped piece and cut it into pieces for multiple cards! This made making 40 invitations go much quicker than stamping each piece individually!

Bridal Shower, lace, Elegant, www.LaurasStampPad.com

This was another option that I created for my friend to pick from. I used the Daydream Medallion Stamp Set on the center piece of So Saffron and then I used the Delicate Details Lace Trim (which is retiring on June 1, get it before it’s gone)! Another fabulous Shower invitation!!!

I hope these samples gave you inspiration and if you are in charge of a Shower or another special event and you just aren’t feeling crafty, I am more than happy to help you out!!! Also, be on the lookout for more Shower Invites because I am working on some right now for my cousin who is getting married this summer! Love it!!! 🙂

Perfect Peacock!!

Posted on

I love working with Brides to create the perfect piece for their wedding! I had a Bride come to me for wedding invitations for her quickly approaching wedding. She said the theme/colors were Peacock colors!!! I love love love these colors – Midnight Muse, Night of Navy, Elegant Eggplant, Island Indigo and many more variations! So first things first, get the right color combination!

Peacock Colors, www.LaurasStampPad.com

There are so many different combinations and color schemes! She went with Island Indigo and Elegant Eggplant! Now onto the style of the invitation! She really loved the gate fold style (where it opens on both sides, meeting in the middle to close). Then she saw the perfect invitation…..Tying The Knot!!! This style has been very popular and she instantly loved it!!!

As you open the invitation, there is a piece of Island Indigo Baker’s Twine that ties into a knot! It is super cute and a fun way to share with others that you are Tying The Knot! 🙂 I also created matching RSVP cards that had a peacock on them as well!

Here is another Peacock wedding using a little Gumball Green in with the mix!!!!

Wedding Programs!!!

Posted on

As you all know, I LOVE weddings and have started working with Brides to create fabulous custom pieces to make their day even more special! I have been doing lots of wedding lately but I am waiting to post them till after the wedding! Well today I am sharing with you some Wedding Programs that I recently did for an amazing couple!!!

Wedding Programs, www.LaurasStampPad.comOkay, so first of all I love the colors – Melon Mambo and Night of Navy!!!! (Melon Mambo was one of my wedding colors 🙂 ) These were very basic but super fabulous! I did some in Melon Mambo and some in Night of Navy which was super cute because then they were able to enjoy both colors! Also, these are perfectly personalized with the “R” monogram! These programs were double sided – one side was the order of events and the other side was the wedding party and family members!  I loved making these and when the Bride came to pick them up, she was so excited and bursting with happiness! I’m so happy I was able to add this special touch to make her wedding day even better! If you are getting married or planning a party and need help with the invitations, programs, thank you notes, party favors and so much more, reach out to me! I’m happy to help you! You can check out more samples that I have created here and here!


Sparkly and Beautiful Wedding Card!!!!

Posted on

Wedding Card, www.LaurasStampPad.comIsn’t this wedding card just beautiful??? Almost as beautiful as the Bride! A few weekends ago, we attended a wedding and I wanted to make a special card for the Bride and Groom! Seeing that red was used on the invitation, I decided to incorporate that into my card! I love how the Silver Glimmer Paper just makes it so blingy and eye-catching! And then I added some texture to the Real Red cardstock by running it through the Big Shot with the Beautifully Baroque Embossing Folder. A little texture, a little bling….all the ingredients for an amazing card! For the greetings, I stamped the image from Lovely Labels in Real Red and then punched it out with the coordinating Artisan Label Punch. Then I punched my Silver Glimmer Paper with the Artisan Label Punch, cut it in half and added the top half peaking out the top of my greeting and the bottom half peaking out the bottom of my greeting! See….no need for multiple punches to add a layering effect! 🙂 Next time you are invited to a wedding or party, steal inspiration from the invitation for your custom hand-made card!!!!
