Wedding Collection


A whole range of custom made stationery for a family wedding. The theme colours of the day were blue, gold and cream.

Invitations - These were the first thing we came up with a design for and then we worked on this theme for the rest of the range.


Reply Cards - These were basically smaller versions of the invitations. The blue motifs are stamped in gold powder and then heated (so the powder melts) to give an embossed look.

Order of Service - The tassels really finish this piece off.


Menus - We made two of these per table. This design is very stable and just invites guests to look inside.


Place Cards - Individual place cards were also made, with gold calligraphy writing. There were eight different motifs we used and so we made sure that each person (on tables of 8) had their own motif.

Thank you Cards - These were the same size as the reply cards with a simple block of four motifs in the centre.


Box-gift - This is a special box, made on the same theme as the wedding stationery as a gift for the couple.

The Three Bears




An elegant card suitable for many occasions and recipients. Pearlescent paper, silver thread and satin ribbon reflect the light, while the handmade petal paper provides balance.

The Patter of Tiny Feet



Tiny feet and teddy bears punched from foam create a sweet card suitable for baby's first birthday or congratulations to new parents on the birth of their child.

Cerise and Lime



Textured paper, apertures, bright colours, ribbons and a domed sticker all combine to create a striking card. Strips of leftover textured paper decorate the matching envelope.

The Very Angry Caterpillar



I don't know what has upset the caterpillar, but he is not in a good mood and the butterfly is making a quick get away. A great card for a child as it encourages imaginative story telling.

Minibeasts




These googly-eyed insects intrigue young children and create a jungle feel when set against this large patterned background paper.

Yellow Tulips


Layers of complementary papers create a platform for the spirelli circle which is subtly decorated with pale thread and a simple motif. Purple satin ribbon echoes the light reflecting property of the foil. A card suitable for many occasions.

Presents




Holographic embossing powder gives a subtle sparkle to the stamped present motifs in the background. The topper is embellished with flat backed crystals and finished with a quilled parcel.
