Wow.  It’s been almost a year since my little sister graduated from Texas Tech.  To help make the celebration extra special we sent out a few lovely announcements in her honor.  Since it was a December graduation I wanted to add a little glitz and glam to everything.

All lettering and layout was written and designed by me.  The fonts used are Ellen and Zanner.  While her name was being made into a custom calligraphy stamp I gathered the mailing addresses.  Then I printed the black lettering on stardream silver shimmer paper and cut down to size.  Next, I used that stamp + red ink + red embossing powder to emboss her name on the invitation for that wet sparkly look.  Everything was mounted on a thick red shimmer card stock.

After addressing the gorgeous black envelopes with silver ink in the Zanner font and creating a fun return address logo – the envelopes were lined with a eye catching black and white damask pattern.  Finally stamps (black and white stars of course) were applied and we were ready to mail!

If you are looking for a graduation announcement – let me know!
