A Destination Wedding Invitation

Custom Invitation Set for a Destination Wedding

For my sister's wedding on the island of Kauai we came up with a fabulous invitation using paper from The Paper Source, adding our own special touches.

The background image came from a piece of artwork my sister had purchased on a previous trip to the island. We used just the corner element for inspiration and went from there, incorporating it into the information and response cards.

The invitation was secured with hemp string wrapped around the outside an inserted into a matching envelope with a heat embossed palm tree.

Handmade Gift Bow

If you ever find yourself in search of the perfect bow to match a special present, why not make your own? I came across a tutorial on the blog, How About Orange, on how to make a gift bow out of a magazine page. I made this one out of wrapping paper and made a corresponding "ribbon" as well. Below is another bow/ribbon set I made out of craft paper.

Here is the link on how to make the bow: http://howaboutorange.blogspot.com/2009/10/make-gift-bow-from-magazine-page.html
