For A Budget-Friendly Wedding
(Used in this project: Oval Labels in Champagne style.) Some of you may remember my first post about $1 Wedding Favor Ideas. You don't have to spend a lot to create a memorable little thank you gift for your guests. Here are three more fun wedding favor ideas that only cost $1 per favor! 1. Smarties $0.33 for 1 roll of big smarties $0.29 for 1 oval label $0.04 for tissue paper $0.07 for 10" of ribbon Total per favor: $0.73 I found rolls of Big Smarties at my local grocery store … [Read more...]
(Used in this project: Circle Labels and Diamond Tags in Summer Garden style.) Did you know that just about any bulb will grow in rocks? Neither did I until I came across an article about paper white bulbs. The article explained that as long as the bulb was always touching water and the container was heavy enough to take the weight of the plant, it would grow. I wanted to try it myself just to see, but paper whites were no where to be found since they are a winter flower. So I picked up a bag … [Read more...]
(Used in this project: Rectangle Labels in Henna style.) Matchbox shrines are one of my favorite craft projects and I thought the idea could transform well into a beautiful wedding favor. Decorate blank matchboxes with personalized labels from Evermine and fill them with small trinkets and treasures that symbolize your love and wedding day. I included the phrase, "Live my the Sun. Love by the Moon." to match the mood and theme of the new Henna style. The final result turned out beautifully … [Read more...]
For the Blushing Bride
(Used in this project: Heart-Shaped Labels in Soft Hearts style, Large Labels in Lace style, and Large Square Glassine Envelopes.) I first saw this idea on Pinterest, and from numerous sites— however, since my bout with Royal Icing for the Apple Cookies, I knew I had the foundation for creating these cookies without much instruction. All I needed was a heart-shaped cookie cutter and a lot of practice. These cookies are so pretty for my friend Melody’s bachelorette party! At first, I … [Read more...]
Couples Beach Retreat
(Used in this project: Labels, Gift Tags and Coasters in Color Wash style.) My husband and I just returned from a wonderful trip to the Oregon Coast. A group of about twelve of our friends got together, pooled our money and rented a large, beautiful beach house near Lincoln City. Since the friends consisted of married couples, all of which decided to leave the kids at home, we called it our "Couples Beach Retreat". Keeping with the spirit of the mini getaway vacation, I decided to … [Read more...]

(Used in this project: Ballotin Favor Box Packs with Labels in Color Wash style.) Planning a wedding on a budget, as many of us do, calls for some creativity and a little D.I.Y.

(Used in this project: Large Labels in Champagne style and Medium Paper Favor Bags.) Traditionally, wedding guests have thrown rice at the departing bride and groom to bid them fruitfulness. While some couples prefer confetti, rose petals, or even paper airplanes, there is bound to be some clean up involved. Choosing birdseed as a festive send off is a fun way to keep up with the tradition and is completely self cleaning! Your feathered friends will do the work at cleaning up the venue and … [Read more...]
