Easy Monogram

Kathy Peterson

I needed a quick monogram to identify my work, in this case for my home décor business.  I designed the background image, and then used the Duetica Piper font to give it an energetic and playful feel.

Bride on Deck

Eileen Hull

My daughter’s recent wedding to one of her Coast Guard shipmates was a grand and official affair.  We needed to make invitations that truly captured the occasion. I used one of my favorite fonts for the wedding invitations and stationery pieces- the graceful Duetica Mandolyn font. Using the Duetica Lettering Arts Studio, you are able to view a bunch of different options for each letter and select the exact version you want so that your finished piece looks hand written.I printed the bride and groom’s names larger and in a different color so they really stand out and then used an everyday font for the rest of the information.

SUPPLIES

  • Duetica Mandolyn font
  • Cardstock

Kite Flying

Rebecca Lynn

This fun card was created for an upcoming birthday, of which there are always many! It is always a struggle for me to come up with cards for the boys, but the kite card seemed to do the trick for the almost 8 year old little man … I cut out the kits by hand, they are such a quick and easy embellishment to add to any project! The lines ended up being a little off-centered, but it just added to the quirky nature of the card. I love how versatile the Duetica fonts were for this card, I was able to create a custom sentiment with the various fonts which fitted the light-hearted card perfectly.

SUPPLIES:

  • Cosmo Cricket Paper
  • DMC Floss
  • Pebbles Ribbon
  • Bazzil Cardstock
  • Duetica Fonts

Delectably Dainty

Veronica Goff

I was asked to create some jewelry for six bridesmaids. When finished, instead of dropping each earring/bracelet set in a chiffon bag, I created these special presentation boxes with each bridesmaid name on the front. Not only does it make for an elegant presentation, but saves the bride from wrapping each one.

  • Sizzix Scoreboard and Big Shot
  • Stampin Up Boho Blossoms & Scalloped Edge punches
  • Marvy Uchida Flower punch
  • Blue 12×12 stock
