Philadelphia Vintage Stamps!



I'm working on a wedding set for a classic Philadelphia wedding and wanted to give the envelopes some hometown flair. These stamps are just what I was looking for. I ordered a sheet of 100–will have to add 4c. to supplement the vintage stamps, but they are gorgeous and so very Philadelphia. I also found these lovely examples at 100 layer cake. There are several sites to search for stamps, Ebay is where I found the 1954 Independence Hall Stamps, but there is also Champion Stamp and Kenmore Stamp Co. I especially love the color coordinated series. It would make for quite a scavenger hunt, but well worth it in the end. A personalized touch to the first thing your guests see. Happy hunting!

pretty in pink!



Shower invitations inspired by the dresses of the bride and the bridesmaids! With such a great pink, perfect for the season, these invites were a joy to work on. Contact me for more information on customizing this invite for your shower!

for the love of shoes.




One requirement for this bridal shower in March–shoes! Caryn has 62 pairs of adorable heels and her shower was themed to match. With bridal colors of pink + black, the cocktail party theme was a perfect fit. A2 sized invites were paired with a matching registry card and envelope. Contact me for more information on color options and how to customize your own invitation.

as promised, invitations.

After a LONG Philadelphia winter, all the snow has finally melted and I have photographed four:paper's most recent invitations in the spring sun! I had three of the best clients anyone could ask for, they all came to me with great thoughts about what would make the shower invitation perfect for the bride! From great danes to high heels, we had a great time composing these invites. Each set will be posted on my Etsy site for purchase, or contact me directly to develop your own custom invitation!
