Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone!

From The Satin Bow and the Future Satin Bow Owners

Pretty in Yellow Flowers

Here are two differnt options.

The matching invite is on its way!

It is of course avialable in many different papers and fonts.

Baby Carriage Shower Invite

This baby shower invite can be made in any color combination. I just did the popular pink/brown and blue/brown for the picture. But it would be very fun in dark and light purple, green and yellow, etc. I added a little personal touch by adding a letter monogram of the baby's last name to the carriage. It would also make a very nice birth announcement.

Whimsical Bright Green and Fushia

This is a sweet design. It has a portable pocket attached to the back. So it is a nice little take on the pocket fold concept, but different. The fun, bright colors just make you want to party!

Ribbon Cross Christening Invite

Here is the christening invite I did for my own daughter done in pink and cream for a great client of mine. I think they are so sweet. I love how the ribbon acts like an abstract cross.

Navy and Silver Winter Snowflake Ribbon Pocket

This fun ribbon pocket square invitation sets the tone for this New Year's Day 1.1.11 wedding. The folded card is in a dark metallic navy with a satin silver ribbon accent that also acts as a pocket. The enclosure cards and envelopes are printed on silver metallic paper. The classic snowflake adds a whimsical feel to this invite.

More Christmas Cards

Envelopments has a new twist card! It is so fun. I think I will be doing these for my own personal cards this year... but do a picture on the front and saying on the back. Here are a few samples I made up for a client. She wants to use the "Houndstooth" design so I am hoping she likes the different options. My favorite is the green with the red and white accents... So CHRISTMAS!

Dragonfly Invite

Joan came to me on behalf of her busy daughter. Her theme is dragonflies and really wanted to use one on her invitation along with her color of cobalt blue. She is traditional in style so we kept all the stationery basic, but added a sweet belly band with a monogram of a dragonfly to the main invitation. This will give her the traditional layout of a wedding invitation, but the addition of the ribbon belly band allowed for a little color to pop.

Garden Glam

Virginia explained her wedding as "Garden Glam." Her color palette is creams and gold with a hint of pale pink. However she did not want to incorporate the pink in the invites. To pull from her theme, we used a cream floral pocket fold with a rhinestone seal in floral and pin stripped gold. The inside also utilized the stripped gold paper giving it a very romantic, glamorous feel.

Yellow is the New IT Color....

Jessica is embracing the new yellow trend. Her colors are indigo and yellow. To keep the yellow soft, we used some satin ribbons to bring it into the invite. The fun pattered champagne and blue paper give it a great modern pop. This invite just says FUN!

Red and Cream Pockets

Courtney came to us looking for a custom pocket fold. We created two different samples for her to look at. Figured we would give her a little bit of everything and she could pick out what she likes best of each of them... However I have a really good feeling she is going to love the square as is!

Taylor - Almost 5 Months

Had to share!!!

Pea Baby Shower

The Mommy to be is obsessed with blue and brown. Even though she is not going to find out if she is having a boy or girl... everything will be brown and blue! So we did a metallic brown pocket fold with layers of baby blue and metallic white. We even came up with a few fun sayings to ensure the guests know the baby sex is a surprise... and the matching thank you cards are so cute!

Crazy to think... Christmas is almost here!

I have already received requests for custom Christmas Cards. Here are a few designs. This client is giving beautiful Tiffany Floral Vases to her clients and wanted to reflect the red and dark blue floral vase design in the holiday card.

Taylor's Baptism

Since I went way over board with the announcements, I made Taylor's Baptism Invites a bit more simple. I used a fun ribbon to border the design, but also act like a abstract cross. I used soft textured papers and a metallic pale purple layer.

After the wedding... comes the thank yous!

When Alison got back from her wedding she remembered she did not order matching thank you cards. So we came up with a few different sizes, designs and sayings.

Future Satin Bow Owner

So... I am excited to share that I had a another child. A little baby girl born on May 5th. She is going to be the owner of Satin Bow someday... well only if she wants! I just finished mailing her baby announcements. My husband thinks they are way over the top, but what was I to do! It is my business... how could I not do an amazing announcement! They were mailed in a white bubble mailer with a custom label. It cost $2.07/invite to ship, but so worth the feedback I have gotten.

I hope everyone likes them :-)

Here is a recent pic of Taylor :-)

Black, Red and Ivory Reception

Maria contacted us a few weeks before her upcoming wedding. We were excited to incorporate her wedding colors of Black, Red and Ivory with a hint of Sparkle. Below is a picture of the first set of samples we sent her...

Fall Tree Branch with Ribbon Twist

When Jessica came to us, she wanted to incorporate her wedding color of Sage Green with the Fall. We did two layers of rich metallic papers (champagne and copper) and added a simple tree branch to bring in the fall theme. In the end the invitation is simple, yet very elegant due to the rich papers.

Damask for the Reception

Kim is having wine bottles as her favor. So I created a matching place card that can hang on her wine bottles and act as a fun tag and a place card. I also made matching table cards that match her invites utilizing the rhinestone buckle.

Scroll down in the blog to see her invites.

Seahorse for the Beach

Summer weddings on the beach arethe best. What better way to capture that than with aqua for the water and gold for the sand with a splash of pattern. Oh yes, and don't forget the seahorse!

Rhinestone Suite

Love this set. That is all I can say.

See below on the blog for more pictures of the invitation.

Reception Set - Black and Gold

This was the matching receptions stationery set we came up with for Christen to match her invites. We did a few different options for each item.

Autumn Raffia 5x7 Pocket Fold

When Kim spoke about her autumn wedding day, she wanted to combine traditional, modern and country! So we did a 5x7 metallic brown pocket fold with a fun orange boarder and details with satin ribbon and a raffia bow. The pocket fold and colors made it modern, the traditional wording and layout made it classic and the run ribbon and raffia bow made it country. To say the least, we were very excited when Kim loved it.
