December Craft Fair



We did about 8 craft fairs this year! You may have seen us around :) Our last one for the year was "Midnight Magic" Dec. 5 in Mukwonago, WI. Here is a view of our card display rack and our table full of hand-crafted gifts.

Chris and Shannon's Wedding Invitations

Christopher and Shannon loved the invitations that were used for Stephanie and Dustin's wedding, so we kept it similar and added their own personal touches. They wanted mint green, chocolate brown, and ivory.




Again the reply card is a postcard that is perforated for easy tearing out and then the guests can just stick it in the mail.


Best wishes to you, Chris and Shannon, we hope your wedding is beautiful!!

Wedding Invitation Sample

This is a simple wedding invitation that slips into a pocket holder.

Sweet Treats

We got the pattern for these owls at the stamp class that we attend once a month and wanted to re-create them for our craft fairs. These owls are filled with candy corn taffy. Yum!! They are $1 each.

These little spiders have peppermint patties in the middle of them. We sold them in a bag of 3. They are also $1 each!!


Halloween Buckets

We found these cute buckets at the Target dollar spot!! We have filled them with a bag of mini oreos, ghost stickers, a Halloween pencil, and 3 gummy bug candies. They are perfect for younger trick-or-treaters :) We added some ribbon on the side and we are charging $4 each at our craft fairs.

Stephanie and Dustin's Wedding

Here is a sampling of the wedding invitations that we designed for mine and Dustin's wedding!! I love them soo much :) But I am biased, LOL! The bridesmaids are wearing olive green dresses and the groomsmen are wearing brown tuxes. We used those colors for the wedding stationary as well. We made close to 200 of these and they were very time consuming, but well worth it.

This is the save the dates we sent out in February. There is a magnet strip on the back so that family and friends could put them on their refrigerator!
Here is the cover of the invitation. This flower set is one of my new favorites from Stampin Up called Fifth Avenue Floral.

Here is the reply card, another postcard....I love those!

Here is the inside, the invitation. It's all held together with eyelets.

The next page is the reply card. The card is perforated so that guests can tear them out and send them in the mail.

The last page includes all of the information for guests

Stephanie's Bridal Shower

These are the shower invitations that we created for Stephanie's family and friend shower! We got the template here. You can find it under ideas for weddings. We changed the template slightly to make it our own. They look very elegant!

Love the dress silhouette!

The hardest part is aligning the wording so that it doesn't show when the cover is closed. We just played around with it until we got it right.

Emily and Mike's Wedding

Here are the wedding invitations that made for Emily and Mike's wedding. We love the layout, it's such a unique design. The common theme for the wedding is interlocking hearts. They used their two favorite colors as well. Emily's favorite is rusty orange and Mike's favorite is teal/turquoise. We are very happy with the turnout...they look so beautiful!

Here is the combo of the wedding invitation and reply card

The reply card was another postcard with the return address and stamp on the back. No envelope required!

The invitation



Baby Liam's Birth Announcement

We designed these birth announcement's for our friend Laura. She wanted a modern look and Liam's nursery is brown and blue. I love that the picture is in Sepia so it matches the brown and I love the quote at the bottom of the announcement.

Alexandria's Wedding Invitations

These are the wedding invitations and reply cards we finished for a client this February. Her colors were brown and purple. We used this flower silhouette stamp for a common theme. We even stamped the outside of each envelope to add a little something! Aren't they beautiful?? Our clients really loved them!

Here is the set: envelope, invite, and response card
This was how we presented them to her

The invitation

On the back of the response card is a label with the return address and a stamp in the corner. It's a postcard so all they have to do is fill out the info and place it in the mail! So simple and a money saver since the stamps are only 28 cents!

Here are the matching programs we made for her wedding ceremony.

Vanessa's Bridal Shower invitations

These are the Bridal Shower invitations that we designed for a friend. Her shower was in April and her wedding colors were pink and green. We were very happy with the finished product and so was she!

This is the invite and a matching postcard style thank you

Here is the front cover and the inside of the invite
