I was thrilled to be invited to meet some darling invitation designers last night.
The attendees included : (starting at left and going clockwise) Lesa Abney of Paper Nest, Malena of Little Bird Paperie, Caroline Hull of Caroline Creates, Rebecca Bowen on minted.com, Jill Efrussy of Stamped Paper Co., and Lauren Chism of Palm Papers
Of course I wanted to come bearing gifts.
So I packed up these personalized tea cups ( the lettering is done in my soon to be released font!)
driving through pouring rain across the city to grab some dinner with them at Times Ten wine cellar.
That’s how excited I was to meet them!
Most of them design for the popular online invitation site minted.com as well have their own Etsy shop.
For those of you who don’t know…minted.com has contests with different themes.
Invitation designers submit their creations for people to vote on.
The final winners have their entries made available for sale on the site.
Pretty cool!
Some of the gals do custom invitation design and have their own websites.
All are very talented!
Minted.com designers are cleverly nicknamed “Minties.”
So each cup was filled with mint tea, peppermint patties and Dove chocolate mint candies.
The tag featured a pink teapot with a pink rhinestone and white lettering in my Dom Loves Mary Font that said “Enjoy some “mint-tea” time!”.
The saucer was painted with the words “freshly minted” along with a tea leaf also found on the back side of the cup.
I included a pack of letter pressed note cards featuring my Dom Loves Mary font underneath the saucer.
The pink, green and yellow ribbon cheerfully tied it all together!
I was really honored to hear that some of them use my Belluccia and Dom Loves Mary fonts in their designs !
In future posts, I’ll feature some of their work so you can get to see their talent in action.
Don’t forget to take advantage of the great price on Borges Lettering fonts before the offer ends.
As always, my calligraphy fonts, Dom Loves Mary and Belluccia are available.
You can purchase them here.
Have a Thistledown Thursday
