Archive for ‘Valentine’s Day’

Valentine’s Day isn’t over yet! This wedding, featured on Green Wedding Shoes, is the ultimate heart inspired celebration. Tara and Ryker wed on a rainy day in Los Angeles, but the downpour definitely didn’t dampen their hearts. The couple chose to use our Big Day invitations, but swapped the bridge icon for a little heart, matching their wedding details perfectly. Along with some custom hand drawn save the dates by a friend, their stationery set a playful mood right from the beginning.

 It’s always fun to see a bride and groom carry on their theme in creative ways. The bride said she looked to Pinterest for ideas and mixed various DIY projects with splurge items to pull off her look. We’d say she did a fantastic job!

Are you thinking what we’re thinking? That gold sequin table cloth by la tavola is aaaamazing!

There’s no doubt we’ll be adding these images to our Big Day Inspiration Board on Pinterest. It’s just too fitting!

Congratulations Tara and Ryker!

Hello all you lucky folks out there! This is the 51st edition of our Lucky Friday Giveaway.  Each Friday we feature one of our letterpress greeting cards. We’ll choose THREE LUCKY WINNERS to get a free card.  Post a comment by 12 p.m. PST the following Thursday, and we’ll announce the winners on the following Friday!

The three winners from last week are (drum roll, please): Katie, Samantha and Christina! We’ll contact you next week to arrange sending your Spring Chicken card.

Design: Nuts for You
Artist: Eunice Moyle
Inspiration: We all get a little nutty when it comes to Valentine design!
Who to send it to: Someone you makes you feel a little squirrely, or someone who’s cute and fuzzy and knows that squirrels just want to have fun.
Ideas we scrapped in favor of this one: The chipmunk version’s cheeks were a little unflattering, the mouse version was a little mousy, the vole was too vole-uptuous and the mole was, well, you know.
Favorite detail: Love the handmade heart turtleneck.
Why letterpress? How else could that sweater look so neatly pressed?

Don’t forget to post your comment and tune in next week, same time, different stationery, to see if you’ve won!

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner! In just a few days we will be showering our loved ones with handmade notes and heart-shaped treats. While brainstorming ideas for our valentines, we looked to our wedding stationery for inspiration. Lots of our invitations include hearts in the design, so we are excited to show them all together. We also figured now would be the perfect time to release our newest wedding invitation suites! Love Knot ties together perfectly (pun intended!) with the whimsical hand drawn details and bright fuchsia accents. These colors are customizable so you can match your wedding details!

Pixel Perfect brings out the gamer in all of us. Inspired by 8-bit design, this suite brings high score to a whole new level.

Sweetheart, inspired by 1950s retro paraphernalia, has lots of love to share. Not to mention, polka dots are very chic right now!

Of course we have to include the Big Day save the date. The heart icon is easy to recreate throughout your wedding just like Katie and Ashley did in their wedding.

It’s Mother Theresa that said it best, “Love begins at home” so we couldn’t imagine a better invitation that says just that. Our Home Sweet Home invitation suite designed by the unstoppable Julia Rothman will have you cozying on up to your honey in no time.

Whether you’re a fan of Valentine’s Day or not, there’s no denying it presents a great excuse to get crafting. Every year at Hello!Lucky we gather for a craft night in the studio a few days before Valentine’s Day. We have found a few fabulous projects we’ve got our eyes on for this years craft night, and can’t wait to get our hands on some paper and glue!

Valentine Love Boats (above)
Fill the boat with some conversation hearts and let it set sail to your loved ones!
Found via Green Jello

Heart Votive
We love that this candle holder is made with pages from an old book. It doesn’t scream Valentine’s Day but would definitely set the mood for a romantic evening. You can even use it all year round!
Found via i love this



DIY Yarn Font
Spell it out with pipe cleaners and yarn. Seems simple enough for kids and those of us less craft-inclined.
Found via The Journals of Giddy Giddy



Conversation Heart Sugar Cookies
Surely these sugar conversation heart cookies are tastier than the classic candies, and who wouldn’t love a homemade “Kiss Me?” These bite sized valentines are little more involved but we always love trying out new recipes!
Found via Food For Thought

Do you have a go-to craft project for Valentine’s Day or a suggestion for our studio craft night? Leave a link or let us know your faves in the comments! 

 

Happy Rustic Farm week everyone! To wrap up the end of our country chic themed posts, we want to share the artistic creations by our friend and colleague Corie. Every week we look forward to her Lucky Friday posts, and always get a kick out of her cheeky greeting card descriptions. Corie carries on her humor in her own art, too! Her etsy shop coriejcole is filled with miniature porcelain figurines, that are equally as hilarious as her posts. We’re loving her Gray Squirrel Eating Heart-Shaped Cookie, especially because Valentine’s Day is right around the corner!

Hello all you lucky folks out there! This is the 49th edition of our Lucky Friday Giveaway! Each Friday we feature one of our letterpress greeting cards. We’ll choose THREE LUCKY WINNERS to get a free card.  Post a comment by 12 p.m. PST the following Thursday, and we’ll announce the winners on the following Friday!

The three winners from last week are (drum roll, please): Shana, Chef Andrea and Dave! We’ll contact you next week to arrange sending your We Belong card!

Design: Biggest Fan
Artist: Eunice Moyle
Inspiration: This idea was so easy and breezy, it felt like it wafted in through the window.
Who to send it to: Someone who puts the wind in your sails and makes your day fresh and light.
Ideas we scrapped in favor of this one: The “Space Heater” metaphor left us a little cold. And air-conditioners are simply not romantic.
Favorite detail: The little bit of lift in the hearts gives our hearts a big lift.
Why letterpress? For vintage fans, only vintage presses will do.

Hello all you lucky folks out there! This is the 48th edition of our Lucky Friday Giveaway! Each Friday we feature one of our letterpress greeting cards. We’ll choose THREE LUCKY WINNERS to get a free card.  Post a comment by 12 p.m. PST the following Thursday, and we’ll announce the winners on the following Friday!

The three winners from last week are (drum roll, please): Cindy, Stacy and Terri! We’ll contact you next week to arrange sending your You’re Striking card!

Design: We Belong
Artist: Eunice Moyle
Inspiration: Our salty tongues pepper our design dialogue with pithy one-liners, and somehow the perfect balance of savor and spice emerged.
Who to send it to: Your better half, your perfect match or perfect opposite.
Ideas we scrapped in favor of this one: The alternate text for the card read: “Come in for two shakes and I’ll show you what I keep in my cellar.”
Favorite detail: The simplicity, really. Sweet and simple. Or salty, rather.
Why Letterpress? The subtle and simple design calls for the restraint of a limited palette.
