A few months ago, I discovered the amazing calligraphic goddess that is Barbara Kua. She is a very talented calligrapher based out of Toronto, Canada. Her work is so beautiful and I knew that I needed to have a piece of it.

Luckily for me, she was offering customized rubber stamps in any one of her many exquisite styles! She recommended them as a great cost effective way to include handwritten calligraphy into the return address for invitations or response envelopes.

What a great idea! I looked through all of her styles and decided that I liked Katie the best. I was so excited! Pulse racing, I emailed Barbara and requested one to be made with my address on it.

Isn’t Miss Katie so whimsical and pretty?

Barbara responded right away and after only a couple quick email exchanges, my completed stamp was on its way to me!!! Yippeee! Check out the cute little box it came in.

She even included a little handwritten note. So sweet.

Wrapped up in blue tissue. So cute! Opening it was fun.

And here it is!! My very own customized Barbara Kua address stamp.

And here’s how it looks stamped on paper and embossed in pink! I absolutely adore it. I hated covering up her amazing calligraphy, but we don’t need any stalkers… so out came the friendly pixels!

Equipped with some wine, Patrick and I sat down and stamped our little hearts out.

Voila!!! We return-addressed all of our STD envelopes.

Our Save The Dates are finally complete! Now we just have to address them and send them on their merry way!

If anyone is interested in purchasing your very own customized address stamp, email Barbara at info@barbarakua.com for more information. Thanks Barbara for my lovely stamp! It was the perfect finishing touch to our envelopes.
