hello lions!

for our local nashville feature, i’m excited to introduce lynn d’amico from flourish paperie. she has more than 10 years experience as a graphic designer and has enjoyed the opportunity to translate that into paper designs.

she doesn’t reuse concepts so her wedding invitations and stationery are truly custom. she loves to create texture, using different teas and coffees for tone, fades and ink smears. she also hand tears or cuts every piece of stationery. that is love- it brings meaning to the paper to know each item of your wedding set was personally handled with care.

one of the spectacular details she employs is quilling. she says it’s like illustrating with color, which she can customize to match your wedding palette.

i was really drawn to her work because of this raised structure- it’s architecture for your paper. it is very sturdy and won’t be damaged in the mail!

many thanks to lynn for sharing her passion with us and to her husband kris for the photographs (all pictures are (c) kris d’amico).

hello you lovely lions,
i know you’ve already read about my paper obsession. so now i want to encourage you to visit www.i-do-it-yourself.com for free paper printables to help you pull your event together with all your paper goods- invitations, programs, cards and labels. not just free, but beautiful and versatile products that you will actually like and want to use.

first, wedding invitations:
on their website they’re talking about french romantic era, but you can go back and look at previous posts and projects. i think these library invites for bookworms are parfait…

i like the “application” to attend the reception.

then there are the labels. oh, the labels. this is by far my favorite part! they tell you what type + size of label you can print them on and everything. how simple is that? i’ve only included my favorite two- they have every style + several color options for any kind of label you would want. use them on your envelopes for seals or return addresses,  personalize your thank-yous or (boring, i know) labels on favor boxes/bags/totes.

i really like the b+w ones. and just like your maids dresses and everything else, remember that not everything has to be matchy-matchy and perfect. i think style #3 would add to a kitschy wedding and it’s so easy!

these are multi-purpose and come in a variety of colors. simple! beautiful! done.

for the wood nymphs out there, and i know there are a few- you are going to adore these paper boxes. their shape is unusual too once assembled- narrow and tall compared to a traditional box. i like the green, but i think you could print in b+w too.

finally, a dandelion puff pattern with several options for usage- print on regular paper and enjoy. how would you put it to work?

special thanks to luzel at www.i-do-it-yourself.com for letting me talk about the great products they offer for free to creative brides. you gals are doing some amazing work!

with love,

lindsey
