Embossed Pocketfold Invitation

Embossed Pink and White Pocketfold Invitation

I think I have pink on the brain. Our company is remodeling... new staff, a new look, a new line of invitations (all to be launched in November... yay!!). And pink plays a big part in our revamp, so what better way to kick it off than by showing these delightful Hot Pink and White embossed pocketfold invitations we did for a lovely Aussie lass, married in Queensland this summer? No better way, I tell you! :)

Embossed Pink and White Pocketfold Invitation

The design was inspired by a white on white embossed pocketfold invitation we had done as a tester for retail marketing, and our client loved the look... but needed a little extra punch to make it really hers. Not hard to do with her fabulous color scheme.

Hot Pink and White Pocketfold Invitation

The exterior of an otherwise ho-hum white pocketfold was hand-embossed with a swirly print using a custom-mixed pearlescent Azalea raised ink.

The pocket was sealed with a three layer monogram seal composed of pearlescent white stock, Azalea pearlescent stock and a matte white text layer. Not to leave any detail unaccounted for, velcro was used to ensure no tearing when the pocket was opened. Love that ;)

During the proofing phase, we created a couple options for layering.

Given the option of Silver, Azalea, or Pearlescent White for layering, she ultimately choose to keep the whole thing streamlined, using just the Azalea as the punch color.

All the little details make this invitation truly special. The custom printed Azalea swirl accent paper, the adorable swirly print on the response envelope, the personalized response cards... A picture perfect suite for a picture perfect day!

NEW!!! Hand Painted Invitations from Revelry Invitation Studio!

Hand Painted Invitations

Hand-Painted Peony Invitation

I am super excited about these hand-painted invitation mock-ups we created yesterday! Not only because I think they have fabulous potential, but because it is so out-of-the-box for us! These gorgeous hand colored Peony invitations were inspired by a potential client who mentioned in a consultation that one of the flowers she would be using were peonies (and you know how gaga we are over those).

Hand-Painted Peony Invitation

Each flower starts off with a Persian Blue embossed outline, and then each petal is filled and shaded, by hand, using a combination of artist chalks and pencils. The petal tips and outlines are filled in with a gold ink.

This design is the first "rough draft" if you will for what will eventually become a custom pocket folder invitation. A hand painted layered peony or monogram seal will complete the exterior. The flowers are so reminiscent of the kinds of patterns you'd find on a fancy tea cup from the 1940's. Love!!

The interior invitation has two embossed peonies with gold ink detail, and chalk and pencil coloring.
Now that I have gone out on the limb, I have to say... I can't wait to explore this new-to-me invitation style. Perhaps soon you will see a hand-colored line on our website. Stay tuned!

Damask Duo of Pocketfold Invitations

Damask Pocketfold Invitations

It has been a crazy few weeks here in the studio (and in my personal life), and I am happy to finally have a quiet morning to be able to share some of the fabulous things that have left the studio recently. Like this duo of damask pocketfold invitations created for a couple whose nuptual-theme is inspired by simple elegance and strength.

The first set is creaetd from a black pocketfold, matted with a red cardstock layer, and finished with a damask printed on crisp white stock. A red satin ribbon adds definition and separation, while a modern monogram adds softness to an otherwise very powerful and bold presentation. Enclosure cards are crafted from 3 layers of damask stock, red card stock and a crisp white text layer.

The pocket was wrapped in a satin ribbon and finished with a custom monogram seal.

The white version shows as a softer version of the black, although most elements remain the same. Have I ever mentioned how much I absolutely adore damask? LOVE!

Enclosure cards in this set have a red stock back, a damask layer, and a crisp white text layer.

A more regal presentation is given by a wide red satin ribbon and a rhinestone buckle. If you know me and my designs, you know I let very few things leave the studio without a little sparkle. Everyone should shine on their wedding day!

~Happy Weddings!~
