Mommy Makes Roses
March 13th, 2007 @ 1:09 pm by Mrs. Raspberry
A while back I posted about the luncheon/tea that I am hosting for my bridesmaids the weekend of the wedding. While watching Martha Stewart today, I got another great idea for making the roses for the napkin rings.
Martha had Cassie Chappell from Mommy Makes Roses on today. She makes these fabulous roses out of coffee filters! Yes, that is a fake rose out of coffee filters!
AND she taught us how to make them. You can get the directions on Martha’s site here.
I hope to make some this weekend and will take plenty of pictures to see if they are as easy as she makes it look!
Unbelievable - You Have To See This!

Paper Source has gone and done it again. They continue to exceed my growing expectations. With every season change, I am in complete awe of the things they make from paper, and this wedding season is no exception.
I went in the other day to get a couple of things, and this was right in the entrance…
After Holiday = Wedding Savings

After holiday sales are a great time to stock up on all your wedding related needs, be it Christmas, Saint Patrick’s Day or Easter. This Valentine’s Day is no exception. Come the 15th, I’m hitting the stores hard for discounts on everything and anything pink I can get my hands on! I might not be able to wait however. One of my favorite stores, Paper Source, has some great new finds. Like these paper fortune cookies that can be used as escort cards.
Double-Sided
January 31st, 2007 @ 3:24 pm by Mrs. Lime
I love anything double-sided. Double-sided tape, printing on both sides of paper to reduce waste, and bags or purses that can be flipped inside-out or at least have interior lining that is as cut as if not cuter than the exterior of the purse. So of course I love this paper I came across while on my mad DIY invite paper search. Too bad none of the colors work with my scheme, but I can see really fun, fresh invites made out of these - one color on the outside, a fun surprise on the inside!
You can get the paper with different colors on each side as shown above, or the same color on both sides:

It also reminds me of double-sided origami paper I used as a kid back in the day but with a fresher, hippper color palette. You can order a sample pack or the paper itself here.
Wrapping Paper

Ever since I researched decorative paper for my envelope liners and my cylinder centerpieces I have become addicted to pretty paper. I don’t know what it is. I don’t know, I just love pretty pattern paper. Say it really fast! PRETTY-PATTERN-PAPER-PRETTY-PATTERN-PAPER!
Old Navy currently has some really pretty gift wrapping paper. I don’t remember, but I think I got these 3 rolls for 10 bucks.
