Married by Michiana, Kaitlyn & Michael's Invitations

When Designs by Ginny delivered Kaitlyn's invites, her first response was, Wow! pictures just don't do these invites justice. That is the case in most pictures online. It is hard to capture all the shimmery and texture of the papers used and the true colors. This invite was designed using a soft white metallic cardstock as a trifold. Each fold of the invite captured something special.

As you open the invite you are captivated by the rich design of the print used that framed Kaitlyn & Michael picture. Opposite thier picture is the date of their wedding.

This closeup gives a better view of their picture which was taken

by Cathy Deitz of Cathy Deitz Photography.

This photo gives you a view of the invitation when completely opened.

The invitation was printed on the soft white metallic paper and then mounted above a shimmery green linen like metallic cardstock adding more dimension to this invitation.

A custom pocket was created to hold the response card and accommodations card completely this invitation with a truly custom look.

Paisley, Dots & Checks Thank You Card

This custom thank you card was created with

the Paisly Splash Baby Crib Set Ensemble in mind.

The customer loved the design of the Paisly Splash

so we took all the elements and put them together

to create this unique baby thank you card.

We also personlized it with their last name initial, "R"

and added the words, Thank You!

But, this thank you card isn't just for baby.

It's classic design allows for it to be used for other

thank you's as well.

It could also be used just as a personalized notecard

by taking the words thank you off.

Just pretty in pink!

Dog Party Invite

Designs by Ginny has had the pleasure of creating

a birthday party invite for Moe

for the past few years and this year Moe will be turning 13!

This year's theme is based on Moe being the age of a teenager

and driving priviledges just around the corner so we had fun creating

a race car theme invite.

I would say Moe is one very lucky dog!

In the picture above we have a matching envelope

with a full size picture of Moe

with the guests name and address written on his body.

Extra envelopes were also created for those last minute invites

so Moe's mom could hand write in the address.

Each gives the invite some extra wow factor.

To completely finish the look a custom lining

was added to the inside of the envelope.

Gotta admit who could resist that adorable face!

Happy Birthday, Moe!

Ho Okahi Makamaka O Ko Aloha

Our love begins the union of our life together!

Ho Okahi Makamaka O Ko Aloha

Holly loves the plumeria flower and it became the focal point of her invites. On the cover of the trifold style invite a custom cut grouping of the plumeria flowers is attached with a ribbon to hold the invite closed and be tied into a bow. Inside the invite printed on a soft metallic white cardstock is mounted on top of a fushia color metallic cardstock adding depth. Each side fold supports a verse. Holly also wanted the flowers to carry to the back of the invite as well. Matching response and reception cards completed the ensemble.

50th Anniversary Centerpiece

Seems appropriate to share this centerpiece

with Valentines being just around the corner.

To make it 50 years together is certainly remarkable

and a true test of love!

This centerpiece was created using mylar tissue, lace ribbon

gold glitter, ting and a custom cut number 50.

 The customer also provided a

wedding picture of her parents which was duplicated

and placed inside the 0 of the 50 making for a

very special and unique centerpiece.

Two Hearts Invite

Two Heart Became One!

Sylvia and Andrew had a destination wedding in Chicago, Illinois.

It was an intimate affair with only family and a few friends.

Andrews parents wanted to celebrate this union with their close

friends & will be celebrating their marriage with an Open House.

This invitation suits this event perfect as it will be the

day before Valentines Day.

The adorable picture used for the cover of the invite was taken by

their photographer Amada Fales

Each envelope was addressed within a black heart.

                            

To add interest to the invite a swirl background was added.

 The invitation was printed on ametallic ivory paper.

A custom envelope lining was added to the envelope with the

Mia & Patrick's Invite

This elegant invitation was created using paper from Envelopments.

The cover pattern was printed on an ecru vellum translucent paper using a light shade of purple.

A custom label was created using the same cardstock as the invitation incorportating Mia's and Patrick's initials and using a single element from their pattern.

The inside of the invitation consists of 4 layers.

The bottom layer is called Magnolia by Envelopments. It has a heavy texture and adds a special touch to the overall look of the invite.

Above that is the Micah Ecru cardstock with the pattern printed on it creating a patterned border.

Above this layer is another layer with  the solid eggplant color as another border.

The final layer is also the Micah Ecru cardstock with the invitation wording printed in an eggplant color ink.

On the backside of the invitation a custom pocket was created to hold the matching

accommodations card, response card and reception card.

The accommodations card and the reception card have the same pattern as the cover.

The response card has just the single design like you see under the pocket.

The accommodations card also has directions and a map on the backside.

The envelopes are the matching Micah ecru paper only in the text weight.

Each envelope was custom addressed and a single design was used under the address.

The return address was printed on the back flap.

Completing this ensemble a custom lining was inserted into the envelope using the ecru vellum like the cover.
