Wedding stationary and cards galore

Posted on March 16, 2013 by karenshady67

Hello, and welcome to our blog on this lovely Saturday morning.

We have some wonderful cards to share today, including a lovely ‘tropical inspired’ wedding stationary set from NANCY. We love this idea, and with our huge selection of flowers, you could create this stationary set to suit any wedding scheme imaginable.

Nancy has tucked in half cut flowers under the name cards etc. So just a few packets should be enough to do the entire number stationery required.

Nancy has added little shells on the MHC flowers to complement the tropical theme. Beach weddings are very popular at the moment, and this concept could be adapted to suit the flower theme of the wedding.

Below is a menu card or (whatever is needed) and a thank you card to complete the task of wedding stationery set.

Wedding stationary set by Nancy Winter

MHC Products used: Winters song – pink, Mayglo – yellow

GWEN created this soft, and delicate blue and grey card set. The sentiments are quite general, allowing you to use these cards for any occasion

Gwen has added ‘Tide pool’ coloured Glimmer glam to the Christmas – Angelic flower, to give it this brilliant aqua colour. One of the great things about the paper flowers in the MHC collections are their ability to take sprays, and inks.
