watch me work.

many people, brides especially, are curious
as to what my creative process is like.
so, i thought i'd take you through the steps
once the design is finished....

i just finished 155 pocket fold invitations for a
pennstate wedding. the bride & groom met there &
wanted to pay homage with out riddling their invitations with
nittany lions & blue & white.

evidently, psu's original colors were pink & black!
it wasn't until someone washed the football uniforms
incorrectly that the colors faded to the blue & white they
are today.

isn't that a fun fact?

so when they expressed wanting to use psu's
original colors, i was stoked!


all the pieces arrive & i start to have anxiety



there's a room deep in my basement where i use spray adhesive.




stella break!


 

let the border cards dry!

  

next i add the invitation card.



add all of the insert cards....



seal it up & voila!

love + tattoos

a rising trend has been & continues to be tattoo-inspired wedding invitations & save the dates.
i happen to be a huge fan of this trend.  not all brides & grooms are traditional so why should their invitations be? 

i am DYING to do some of my own for any rockabilly couples!
know of any? send them my way!
 i've got plenty of ideas!

GET INSPIRED!
here are some of my
favorites i've come across!

ink to paper is thoughtful.
ink to flesh, hard-core.
if Shakespeare were a tattooist
we'd appreciate body art
a lot more.
