L-O-V-E this!  Now we can all channel our inner Monet and create our own watercolor masterpiece with this DIY technique from Kate of The Lettered Set.  The above example was done using a stencil printed from a free online clip art source. But you could always use your own silhouette profile or any favorite phrases or illustrations as stencils and personalize some stationery, decor, or gifts– and not just for the wedding either (hello Mother’s Day notecards!). Ahh, can you imagine the possibilities?

Amazing just how much generosity there is around blogland, no?  Take a look at these lovely freebies from Love and Lavander, a new-to-me blog. From Garden rose to Tandem bike, from Paris to Pears, you can download these printable invitation suites (include response cards and table numbers) for personal use.  Sorry, did I mention they’re FREE?   Enjoy!

An easy and inexpensive trick for a multitude of things– Fabric as paper!  Turn your favorite vintage fabric (a small sample or scrap would do) into envelope liners with this tutorial from Posie Gets Cozy.  You basically cut the fabric into an envelope liner shape using a template and then scan it in for more color copies.  No fancy paper necessary. Check it out!

WHOA, a paperless version!  And FREE to boot, woohoo!
