If your paper is like linen or notecard paper use the embossing ink. The regular ink gets absorbed by regular paper fast. By the time you pour the powder its pretty dry. On the other hand the embossing ink is a little greasy and stays on top of the paper, however when used on metallic/glossy cardstock and pocketfolds the embossed image easily comes off (its almost like you made a sticker on wax paper) I added a different purse sticker on each card and rounded the corners with a rounder, possibly my favorite little tool. I also embossed a damask design on each envelope. The groomsmen's cards wont be as elaborate because men just don't care about stuff like that.]]> http://www.weddingbycolor.com/marta12/milestones/15133 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/marta12/milestones/15133 Sun, 29 Jun 2008 20:39:00 PST http://www.weddingbycolor.com/marta12/milestones/14466 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/marta12/milestones/14466 Mon, 23 Jun 2008 16:58:00 PST Amazon.com and loved them. They are 14.95. I will be hanging them over the bar area. I might even get some aqua lanters and hang them from the cord of these. I also got two baskets for the bathroom goodies and damask wall appliques (I posted about the appliques with the direct link yesterday) all on amazon.]]> http://www.weddingbycolor.com/marta12/milestones/14331 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/marta12/milestones/14331 Sun, 22 Jun 2008 10:06:00 PST Amazon.com and one at Target.com The come off easy so it wouldn't be a problem with the venue.]]> http://www.weddingbycolor.com/marta12/milestones/14153 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/marta12/milestones/14153 Thu, 19 Jun 2008 19:17:00 PST
I have not printed anything yet since I haven't ordered my paper...because I don't know how many invitations I need yet.

I bought one tiffany blue metallic pocketfold (its a lot lighter in person, i couldn't take the picture with flash because the paper is metallic and there was a lot of glare) to see how it looks and if the embossing would take to it. I embossed two damask designs on the inside of the pocketfold and added a black background (matte) to the part where I will add the invitation.

For now the invitation and insterts are photoshopped into the photograph so that I can see how the final product will look. They will be printed on white metallic paper. I will post pics once I start printing them but in the mean time let me know what you think.

I'm very happy with the overall look and the design concept. I have to give a BIG shout out to Tammy aka TEMELA808 as I loved her design sooo much I modeled my concept after her invitations! click here to check out TEMELA808's invitation]]> http://www.weddingbycolor.com/marta12/milestones/13097 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/marta12/milestones/13097 Mon, 09 Jun 2008 20:55:00 PST http://www.weddingbycolor.com/marta12/milestones/12095 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/marta12/milestones/12095 Sun, 01 Jun 2008 11:00:00 PST http://www.weddingbycolor.com/marta12/milestones/12044 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/marta12/milestones/12044 Sat, 31 May 2008 18:11:00 PST Anyone else made their own?

That was the only lace I had at home so that obviously will be different and the ribbon will be slimmer. The size of the cards is 4.5 by 4. The lace is 4 inches. And the ribbon (which is glued to the inside is 8 inches). I still need to buy some rhinestone accents. I used a hot glue gun to attach the lace to the cardstock but I don't like how bumpy it is. Any ideas on what kind of glue would be good to attach the lace to the cardstock? What do you girls think? (Sorry for the quality, I took them with my blackberry)]]> http://www.weddingbycolor.com/marta12/milestones/10718 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/marta12/milestones/10718 Fri, 16 May 2008 09:12:00 PST Hpnotiq Matini Singature Drink blog and a fabulous question by sheloves in that blog got me thinking. Do I serve our signature drinks only at the cocktail hour? And if so do I only serve any other drinks or just the signature drinks? I love Cosmos (my drink of choice) and thought it would be fun to have a martini bar...but I know not everyone likes Martinis since they tend to be rather strong. I love the idea of a martini bar with a menu of our signature drinks. Pink Martini for me (coincidence that my name is Marta...I think not) Blue Martini to match our colors White Chocolate martini again to match colors Still have to think of some kind of virgin martini (sans the alcohol) since my fiance does not drink. Would people be upset if they couldn't get what ever drink they wanted? Will it be a waste to have only signature drinks during cocktail hour? I need some thoughts, ideas, commens and suggestions! ]]> http://www.weddingbycolor.com/marta12/milestones/10678 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/marta12/milestones/10678 Thu, 15 May 2008 19:56:00 PST http://www.weddingbycolor.com/marta12/milestones/10554 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/marta12/milestones/10554 Wed, 14 May 2008 20:50:00 PST http://www.weddingbycolor.com/marta12/milestones/9765 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/marta12/milestones/9765 Mon, 05 May 2008 15:04:00 PST http://www.weddingbycolor.com/marta12/milestones/9732 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/marta12/milestones/9732 Mon, 05 May 2008 10:09:00 PST www.candycrate.com www.groovycandies.com www.nostalgiccandy.com Another great website for candy is candywarehouse.com.
