<br />
my go-to for christmas wrap is kraft paper mixed with a bright patterned paper and fun, textured embellishments. it's super easy and looks great every time. this year i embellished with red satin ribbon, bright green raffia and <a href="http://charmandconfetti.blogspot.com/2013/11/holiday-tags-are-here-gold-white-foil.html">charm & fig letter press holiday tags</a>, a mix of shiny and matte finishes that add interesting textures to the whole look.<br />
<br />
<b>pssst!</b> if you ever underestimate your box size and fall short of wrapping a gift with paper you already cut, just cover up the unwrapped section with a band of contrasting wrapping paper and BOOM, you're a creative genius that <i>didn't</i> break the 'measure twice, cut once' rule.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13385187973822925533noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821842047096242815.post-32686737823226120992013-12-19T08:08:00.002-06:002013-12-19T08:08:58.543-06:00custom botanical stationery inspired by paris markets<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

lindsay & boris were getting married in austin, texas. with strong ties to the city (hook 'em!) and lots of international wedding guests, a big barbecue dinner was a must!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
the rehearsal dinner invitation was all about fun: a chalkboard-style invite with vintage typography reminiscent of rustic honky-tonks let their guests know it would be a laid-back affair with lots of texas style. i couldn't resist a buffalo-check envelope liner complete with a custom logo featuring their soon-to-be monogram, LKB</div>

why the bachelorette weekend itinerary? the party planners already know who is going, who is on the fence -- but this mailed piece gives the guests an idea of what's in store for the big weekend.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
these weekends take so much planning and commitment by everyone attending, so the bridesmaids usually know who is 'in' or 'out' far in advance. and suddenly, a generic invitation becomes a bit arbitrary. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
...but there's still so many details to communicate to the guests and an email can be a little lack-luster. the bachelorette itinerary is an easy way way to get the guests excited and convince those on-the-fencers that the weekend is not to be missed!</div>

<br />
i took a few photos, but you really have to go in there for yourself! i have yet to do a <a href="http://tinderboxcraft.com/craft-workshops/">workshop</a>, but i'm thinking about planning a girls night -- the workshops are BYOB, after all.<br />
<br />
the owner, ren, has done a fantastic job of curating quality good, thrifty find and bringing together the houston craft community.<br />

on our trip to costa rica, we came across the famous zarcero garden. i had no idea existed until we just stumbled upon it. it was one of those, 'STOP THE CAR' moments. so many gorgeous hydrangeas, dahlias and topiaries.<br />

rawwr! so my good friends cristina and sam had their wedding at the<a href="http://www.hmns.org/"> houston museum of natural science</a>, which was such an amazing wedding venue, by the way. working with them was really special because they're both good friends of jon and i, and it's been awesome to see them go from 'dating' to 'married' and all the wonderful stages along the way. they are so MFEO and have already added a new member to their fam since their nuptials last month. a wonderful little dog named zoe.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
being that they're such a fun couple, nothing was really off limits. in fact, one request from cristina was to have a t-rex on the invitation. done and done.</div>

i've been totally inspired by rose moss. it's a hardy plant with succulent leaves that can withstand the texas heat and days without water. the bright blooms are right up my ally: neon shades of pink, poppy, yellow and orange. my iphone couldn't event register the brightness of these colors... #nofilter, y'all.</div>

i'm torn between creating a modern, sleek backyard and an overgrown hill country garden. texas wildflowers need to 'planted' in september for spring blooms. i've been reading up on planting wildflowers and they just say to drop the seeds on dirt, don't bury them. how easy is that? you can order seed packets from <a href="http://www.wildseedfarms.com/">wildseed farms</a>.</div>

so sad to see google reader go, but i'm now using bloglovin to stay current with my favorite blogs. while <a href="http://pinterest.com/explauren/">pinterest</a> and <a href="http://instagram.com/explauren">instagram</a> satiate my need for constant visual stimulation, there is nothing like curling up in bed and reading an old timey blog post! will our children ever know what it was like to read a blog? or will they just zoom on through their pinstagrams and be none the wiser?

<br />
coincidentally, the gals receiving this invite were also doing a wine-tasting weekend in the texas hill country. i would do anything to do <a href="http://charmandconfetti.blogspot.com/2012/09/bach-party-in-hills-neon-and-neutral.html">that weekend </a>again -- it was so much fun.

first things first! here's a picture of our house. it was built in 1937 and took a beating over the years. someone bought it late last year, flipped it and sold it to us. we were so lucky to jump on this house when we did - love at first sight and in a neighborhood we're excited to explore. </div>

with four kids and lots of birthdays to throw, my mother-law-in-law was smart to invest in a helium tank years ago. the balloons were a last-minute addition to the decor, but they were the best part! we taped fringed tissue paper to the base of the balloon to create these <a href="http://geronimoballoons.com/">geronimo balloons</a>-inspired floaters.</div>

it's been a LONG time since i touched my sewing machine. i had every intention of sewing curtains, but instead i just bought tons of unbleached, un-dyed denim and hung it up with raw edges. i love the way it looks.. but more on the curtains later.</div>
<br />
it's feeling pretty hot here in houston. we've had such a long spring (actually used the heater in early may!) that the 85 degree feel like a sauna. i don't even want to think about july right now.<br />
<br />
in the spirit of summer, i decided to make a bright pink and orange ombre pillow with the extra curtain fabric. i took an old, orange silk pillow and cut fabric for my new pillow with an extra inch for sewing. the old pillow was my 'pattern.'<br />

for this pillow, i only wanted one side to have color -- i think it looks a little more custom and less reckless that way. i busted out my rit-dye... did one end orange (sunshine yellow with a splash of red) and the other bright pink ( red with double splash of yellow). the i got the fabric completely wet and let it sit in the dye for about half an hour. this will let the dye bleed up the fabric easier. if it's totally try it will have a hard time bleeding and will be a less smooth gradient.</div>

time to pin and get that pesky zipper out of the way! pin the zipper (zipped!) to one piece of fabric, with the outside of the zipper facing the outside of the pillow. sew the zipper to the first side, then pin the other piece of fabric to the other side of the zipper. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
sew up the rest of the of the sides., before you sew up the last side, make sure you unzip the zipper enough to turn the pillow inside when your sewing is complete.</div>

for now, our windows have these lovely sheet & dip-dye table cloth curtains held up with push pins for privacy. i'm sure our neighbors are thrilled. sewing curtains will certainly be one of my first projects... it's time to dust off the sewing machine and bust out a bottle of pinot noir.</div>

enter my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/126514115/foxy-mama-foil-stamped-card-mothers-day?ref=shop_home_feat">foxy mama card</a>. i was brainstorming a cheeky baby shower card and came up with something that applies to nearly any occasion. this foil-stamp foxy mama card works for mother's day, baby showers, your friend who needs a pick me up or even just a birthday card. it's blank inside so there possibilities are endless. enjoy!</div>
