Tine’s Chic Pink & Black Shower Invitations

Pink & Black Bridal Shower Invitations

There’s something so chic about a pink and black color palette, don’t you think? And these gorgeous bridal shower invitations by b.t. elements have it going on in spades! These pink and black beauties were designed for Tine, one of the graphic designers at b.t.e., and feature fancy cut envelopes and custom back pockets from b.t. elements’ new line. The design was inspired by a Bride’s Magazine feature, which included a selection of darling favor boxes from the b.t.e. collection.

Pink and Black Bridal Shower

These glamourous shower invitations include so many great details that give this classic chic color combo a contemporary edge, including bold striped envelope liners, playful, modern typography, and super cool striped washi tape accents. And how awesome is the light pink calligraphy against the rich, black envelopes? Totally awesome, I say.

Cooking Themed Bridal Shower Invitations

Cooking Themed Bridal Shower Invitations by Paisly Quill

Hello, Buttermilk! I am completely taken with these cooking / kitchen themed bridal shower invitations that Molly from Paisley Quill created for her soon to be sister-in-law’s bridal shower. What about this custom designed suite isn’t fantastic? I’m digging pretty much everything about it, from the unexpected palette of bold red-orange, yellow, navy, gray and soft pink to the angled type, patterned envelope liners, and coordinating recipe cards.

You can check out more of Paisley Quill’s wonderful invitation work here. And these woodland themed wedding invitations are a must see, too. Now, more cooking-themed invitation eye candy!

Amy Smyth Made It

Amy Smyth Made It Birthday

I was recently introduced to Amy Smyth Made It, a wonderfully funky stationery line by illustrator turned paper pusher Amy Smyth. As I pored over the site, I found it very difficult to choose just a few favorites to feature, so be prepared for the images to come (I’m sure you don’t mind, right?).

I really dig the illustration style, which has such a spirited attitude, and the colors that Amy Smyth uses – lots of subdued, sophisticated naturals used in a bold way.

Amy Smyth Made It offers a little bit of everything, from baby and bridal invitations to gift tags, moving announcements, holiday, and notecards. I’d advise you to do as Amy Smyth suggests and “write a freakin’ note,” if only so you’ll have an excuse to buy her paper goods.
