DIY monogram bookmarks

custom crest

These DIY monogram bookmarks were so quick and easy that I’m sure I will be doing this again.

Since I already had the artwork for this little crest, there was very little design to do for this project.

First, I determined the size of the bookmark. For this project, 7×2 inches was perfect and fit 6 bookmarks per letter sheet of paper with very little waste.

Then I pulled my art into the file and placed the crest where I wanted it. Be sure to allow room at the top for a hole punch that a tassel will feed through. Since this left so much space at the bottom, I picked six quotes that were from some of our favorite books to place below the crest.

Finish them off by laminating, putting a hole punch in the top and then lacing a tassel through the top.  These would be great for baby shower gifts, valentines day, or even girls book club!

Baby shower calligraphy – Dallas Texas

Baby Shower Calligraphy for Dallas celebration.

Sometimes I get to change it up for events other than weddings!  This fun suite, designed by Lauren Chism for Minted, was the perfect bouncing off point!  A custom calligraphy hand using custom mixed red ink. The hostess was really thoughtful to include the thank you note addresses for this order.

You can really use fun and different calligraphy for events and gatherings.  I like how it helps reflect the atmosphere of the party.  More color and fun versus black and traditional styling.  This helps the guests know how to dress, act and what to bring.

People often ask about the quality of minted envelopes.  While they are not the same quality of Crane’s, they really are quite lovely.  I do not have issues with bleeding.  They are also have enough weight to not feel cheap.

I LOVED every minute of this order I worked on with the so talented Color-Box Letterpress.  We did the save the dates, invitations and party materials for the special event.

For the Save the Dates and Invitations everything was soft and baby in the lightest greys and blues with thoughtful touches like letterpressed envelope liners.  I matched the ink color and created a special font for this client.Dallas Calligrapher

I wish I had photos of the lovely invitations – they looked similar but had blue crocheted baby booties attached!

For the party a long table was set up for the brunch and color theme was hermes orange.  It took me forever to mix this color to match perfectly, but patience payed off!  These turned out perfectly.

A big thank you to Rhonda – your work really helps highlight the lovely calligraphy!
