{etsy shop: custom thank you cards}

Now that we are in the home stretch of getting settled into our new place, I decided it was time to start putting up some new listings in my Etsy Shop.  I have just added two new items to the paper goods secton of my shop; each are of 10 pack sets of Thank You cards that include pointed flap envelopes custom printed with your return address.

I originally used "heart banner" design to be sent out after my bridal shower (which is why you see my maiden name on the return).  Even though the cards are printed in black on kraft paper, I tried to keep this design a little girly with the hearts on the notecard and the return address. Purchase the heart banner set here. 

I created the "arrow" design by using an arrow element from our wedding programs to be used as our wedding thank you notes.  Since these notes were coming from both Chris and myself, I tried to keep the design very modern and simple. The "ampersand" return address is a modfied version of the return address from our wedding invites.  Purchase the arrow thank you set here.

As with all the items in my shop, I am able to fully customize the text/wording, font, design, etc so feel free to contact me if you are looking for something a little different!

{a little weeknight celebration}

There is no reason that a little bit of exciting news or a work accomplishment shouldn't be rewarded with a little extra celebration.  Chris called me the other day with news of an awesome achievement so I made it point to beat him home from work so I could set up a little celebration before we went out for dinner.  I had to work with what I had around our place so I laid out some gold glitter wrapping paper and whipped up some letters using kraft paper cardstock.  Originally, I wanted to spell out "congrats" or "celebrate" but in the interest of time I went with a simple three letter word.  I attached the letters to some extra photobooth prop dowels we had and then grabbed a nice bottle of Rosé we had been saving.  We purchased this bottle over Thanksgiving weekend when we visited JCB Winery's tasting room in Healdsburg, which has one of the most glamorous tasting rooms I have ever been in.

We have also started saving our champagne corks from events like this and I plan on making one of these to remember all these fun celebrations:
