Hand Carved Stamps for your wedding

If you have a wedding, baby shower or another special party coming up, creating one-of-a-kind carved rubber stamps is a fun and easy way to personalize the invitations and thankyou cards.




Above is a set of Save The Date Cards announcing the couple (Sara and Chad) are "getting hitched." The theme is country western, so I carved the initials of the bride and groom into a circle that looks like  a branding iron.

I used the stamp to embellish the cover of the Invitations, and for hand stamping the Thank you cards.

The rubber stamp will continue to work hard after the wedding too, for personalizing letterhead and Holiday cards.

Below is an invitation set I designed for a couple getting married in Hawaii.
The Hibiscus flower was the graphic element used throughout all of the pieces.

I carved a Hibiscus flower stamp for use on the guest book then boxed it and gave it to the couple.
It's the perfect gift that will keep on giving and remind the couple of their special day for many years to come.

Below is a wedding invitation with Pears as the theme.
Several sets of matching note cards were created from one carved rubber stamp.
The note cards were then given to the bridesmaids and hostesses as lovely hand made gifts from the bride.
