Save the date Idea/Samples

Here are some ideas and samples for the save the dates. We did not really discuss type or style so I went with postcard sized. They would be save on postage and envelopes. The photos have text details about the samples. You can click on the photo to get a closeup view. Everything is optional and can be changed reworded etc. depending on what you like and want. Keep scrolling down to the next post to see the invite samples!

Samples for Natalie

Natalie these samples are for you to view. Each of the photos has some text you can read pertaining to that photo/sample. Going on what you told me and what I have to work with I came up with these, not sure if it's what you like but everything is optional and changes can be made. I really love the gate done in black with the orange inside, the embossing makes it look so elegant and the satin ribbon really pops, love it! Anyway let me know what you think, like, don't like not, lol. Talk to you soon!

Love is in the Air!

I didn't realize how long it's been since my last post. It was a busy time of year with a late crop harvest and the holidays approaching, I was planning on hosting a Thanksgiving Dinner but then I started feeling really bad, strange pain inside, couldn't figure it out at first, but turned out to be shingles :( not fun, and to make things worse the medication the dr. prescribed made me REALLY sick....so I quit taking it and fought it of myself.....then a few weeks later it tried to come back, all over my body, yikes, so after some research my husband and I did on-line we discovered that Ly-sine and vitamin c can help to fight the virus. So we went to walmart and I stocked up on vitamins and got rid of the virus!!! Needless to say it was quite the ordeal and I had a really hard time being creative, even though I wanted to, so now I am once again back to work, Yea!. Here are some new cards I created for Valentines Day.....you can find them at LilypondCrafts!

Spooky Party Cupcake Toppers with Batty for You

These fun, spooky, batty, cupcake toppers really make your cakes and cupcakes sparkly and festive. I used the Batty for You stamp set from Stampin'Up!, this set is perfect for toppers, there made circular and punch out easily for a quick, easy, and fun project. For this set I used the black cats, bats and spiders and the traditional Halloween colors of green, purple, orange and black. This set is currently for sale in my etsy shop If you have small children these are great for class parties, the kids love playing with the topper/favor long after the cupcake is gone. Happy Halloween to all!

Even the Naughty Deserve Something Nice

I'm having so much fun creating cupcake toppers for LilypondCrafts.etsy.com. This set is sure to be a conversation starter if you have them at your Holiday Party. This is a set of 12, some of them are stamped with a Christmas Greeting with something for eating, the others with Even the Naughty deserve something Nice, they all have a Make Merry tag on the back. They are made with card stock, designer card stock, ribbon, lace, stamps and shimmer spray, and are mounted on lollipop sticks. These could be used for cupcakes, a cake or however you wish to display them. At my shop I have a couple of set made for Halloween. Enjoy!

Here is the final sample, I hope :)

I made the changes and additions you requested; I added the Celebrate Msgr. John Esquivel under the Grandparents; I increased the size of the dinner details; and I changed the time to three thirty in the afternoon. Like the other samples this was a draft printed on white, the final will be printed at the best printing quality on vellum. Email me and let me know if this will be okay.

Sample 3 a

Here is Sample 3 with the addition of the dinner details in the bottom left corner....I didn't have time to change the time for this sample but for the final product it can be easily changed to three thirty in the afternoon.
