Getting Crafty

With the wedding approaching, I’m realizing how much needs to get done in a short period of time. So to get motivated, I’ve purchased quite a few new craft supplies in the past couple of weeks. My favorites?

I first saw this “THANKS” punch on one of my favorite personal wedding planning blogs, Honey My Heart, via Ellen Hutson.

I love the way she used the punch to embellish the envelope liners. I want to do something similar for our shower thank yous, but not sure if I’ll have enough time to write them all out and design the cards.

The next purchase I have no clue what we’ll be doing with, but I love b,aker’s twine. So I just ordered over 3,000 yards of it from Etsy seller fortandfield.

My favorite purchase of all was a Barbara Kua address stamp, which we will be using for our invitation RSVP envelopes, invitation return addresses, return addresses on our shower invites and all personal mail I send in the future!

I heard about Barbara Kua through Miss Sunrise, in her “Stamp my Little Heart Out” post. After reading Miss Sunrise’s post, I knew I had to have one. I had been searching for a while and couldn’t find the right font style, but fell in love with the Claire style.

You’ll have to wait a bit to see ours, when I reveal it with the invites I’ve been working on!

Have you found any fun new craft supplies lately? I’m still looking for a few details for our paper products and looking for some fun suggestions!

I just discovered texture plates and I’m in love! I’m going to order the Fiskars one in a wood grain texture to use on a bunch of our paper goods. I love the way it adds subtle interest.

Wow, with 3000 yards you’ll be using baker’s twine the rest of your life.

That “Thanks” punch is too cute! And I’m going through a baker’s twine obsession right now, so I love that too!

The “Thanks” punch is fantastic - I hope you find the time to work it into a thank-you design; the envelope liner embellishment is brilliant!

Too many cute crafts! I think my stamps, paper, and embossing dust are starting to exceed my projects!

Woohoo! Love Barbara Kua’s calligraphy! Glad my post convinced you to get a rubber stamp because she is just awesome. Can’t wait to see your stamp in action!
