Tags for Verdigris Containers

Lisa is planning on using these terrific verdigris containers as decoration for her wedding reception coming up very soon.  She very kindly sent me a copy of her wedding ceremony invitation to get a feeling of her wedding theme, designs, and colors.  After seeing her invitation, I was able to duplicate the colors and feeling of her wedding paper as closely as possible while making these sweet little message tags.

Lisa's wedding suite stationery was prepared using creme linen card stock.  With that in mind, I used soft creme, text weight paper-and mounted this sample on another soft creme cover stock paper as a backing.

Then added a antique creme colored satin ribbon to tie the tag onto the container.  

This option is very subtle and elegant, and uses all of

 Lisa's wedding and reception colors: Green, Brown, and Orange.

This is a container and sign for Lisa's Head Table, or for one of her wedding Party tables.

This is another option prepared with the same color palette of Green, Brown, and Orange for the tag's wording, printed on soft creme text weight paper, and mounted on a dark brown cover stock paper.

I used a much thinner dark brown satin ribbon to tie this sign on to the verdi container.

(Just happens to be what I have on-hand).

This option is darker overall, and gives a  more dramatic effect. 

This is the tag to use for the table with cloth, quests will decorate for Lisa and Ryan to have as a sweet memory of their wedding day.  

The verdigris buckets will be filled with crayons for guests to use to create their designs for the couple.

I'm showing you both tags in the creme color palette.

The green used in Lisa's wedding ceremony invitation had a little bit of blue in it-a little too much for me to be able to use any mossy or chartreuse green colors in either the font color used for the tags, or the tag's backing.  Instead, I duplicated the font color from the ceremony invitation for these tags.

Here are the tags using the brown backing and brown satin ribbon.

The little orange flowers show up nicely when mixed with the brown backing and ribbon.

The size of each of these tags is about 3" x 3" and the ribbon about 34" long, 

so you will have plenty of ribbon to tie any way you like.

I enjoyed making these!

Let me know what you think.

Note Cards - Client Favorites for Spring 2010

Hello!
This is a very exciting Spring Season  for both myself and Ink Stationery Studio. I've worked on so many new and inspiring projects with my clients.
Clients are loving bright, bold, colors that pop right off of the card stock.  Bright pink, turquoise blue, chartreuse green, oranges, yellows, and French red, (one of my all-time favorite colors).
The designs themselves are traditional, whimsical, romantic, classic, and regal.  That makes it  easy to select a style that embodies your own personality, then add  your monogram, initial, or full name, to create your own personal statement.
These are all folded note cards of either white or creme card stock.  They all come with an equal number of same color envelopes.  Except the last - it is a 5" x 7" flat card.
Let me know what you like the best!

I will never  be a great photographer.

I went ahead and placed names or monograms on the styles I thought may "fit" the best for each recipient.

They are all easily changed to be more suitable.

Message Cards and Baskets for Bonnie's Reception

Here are the colors I have you may like.

Left to Right: Moss Green, Lake Blue, White, Red, Chartreuse, and Turquoise 

I think you are right, and yellow would be good with this color assortment.  I looked around this morning and found pastel yellow or a bright yellow card stock that could be used.  I really think a golden yellow would work best.  If I am able to find the right color yellow, I'll make that color of message card for you also.
Pick you colors.

I have two different baskets that may work for the koozies.

This is a golden natural color.

Dimensions: 15" L  X  13" W

I have two of theses baskets.  We would place one at each bar location.

I only have one of these  red baskets.

This one will work if you only have the koozies at one bar location.

Dimensions: 12" L X 10" W

Whichever basket you select, I'm making a sign to hang

along the side of the basket.

As soon as you select a basket, I'll get the sign made and post for you to view.

Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks,

Wedding Reception Message Cards for Bonnie

Message cards for wedding guests to write a note to the bride and groom.

I did this in one design, with the option to print them in several colors.

Colors are: red, turquoise, chartreuse, white, and creme.

These could also be printed on all one color card stock.

Like all creme, or all white, or all turquoise.

The size is 3.5" W x 4" L

The over-sized quotation marks just seemed like the right choice for friends and family 

to leave a written message inside.  Decorative, but understated.

This is the sign to go with these cards.  

Lets quests know what to do.

This is a 4" x 6" card of soft creme (the sunshine makes it appear white), 

with dark navy ink.

Here is an idea for you.  Yes, I have cigar boxes in these bright colors.

I think it would take two.  Stacked on top of each other for the height.

The table sign is being held by a silver ball style sign holder.

(A "frame" style may be better).

  But, whichever is used-we will need to try and use the same style or close as possible for all 

of the signs.

Of course, a clear glass bowl, or a copper bowl like the one being used for your

 flower petals would also be very nice to hold the messages. 

Let me know what you think, please.
