In Case You Get Lost in the Mail

Well, phase two of our Save the Dates is under way...the return labels! I contemplated hand-writing the return address, but I couldn't resist making these cute return address labels!

(Obviously, the ?'s are filled in with the actually numbers or letters, but I'm a stickler for privacy! )

The faces, which are supposed to be Steve and me (and they're actually pretty accurate!), were created at pose prints. If they look familiar, you're very observant! I used them for my blog heading!

All in all, I'm so happy with this project! My handwriting can get pretty sloppy pretty fast, so hand-addressing all of them will be hard enough!

Ouch, My Stamping Hand Hurts...

Well, the Save the Dates are done! At least the first batch of them... All it took was...

a paper cutter to cut cardstock into fourths...

stamp pads in fabulous colors like pink and orange...
and an inked up stamp!


The results, if you ask me, are pretty fabulous!

The stamp didn't always fill in ink throughout the entire imprint, but I think it looked a little more vintage and "worn in". After a few practices sheets, I determined that a few blots on the inkpad and medium pressure resulted in the best coverage.

Stationary - Save the Date

After about five iterations of stationary, I think we've finally decided upon a design! Though we won't be sending out "save the dates" for several months, I wanted to organize our attack plan early! So, here's what we've got...

They will be sent out as postcards to reduce postage costs. I considered e-mailing them to friends/family that are more technologically-savvy, but I'm afraid they'll be deleted without being looked at. I know I've done that more than a time or two!

The pink and orange damask print won't actually be printed though - they'll be STAMPED! With this fabulous Heidi Swapp stamp, we'll be able to customize all of our stationary!

This way, we'll be able to print out most of our invites in black and white and have the damask stamps add just the right punch of color! I'm so excited - I want to get started already!

Ciao,
