Remember my valentines from last year? Well, if you loved them, you now have the chance to buy your own set to send to those you love!





You can mix and match a set of six cards + envelopes — choose from the “Olive you” or “I love ewe” designs! See more details or make a purchase here!
And yes, I crack myself up.

I know I’ve mainly been sharing snips and bits of wedding inspiration lately, but there are so many lovely things I want to share with y’all! Including this absolutely darling pie bar signage from Miss (now Mrs.!) Cowboy Boot’s wedding. The calligraphy is by Pretty Pen Jen and the heart holders are from this store on eBay. See more of Mrs. CB’s pie bar here and her wedding planning journey here! When you do, make sure to check out her oh ma gahh Julianna by Christos dress and Juliet garden rose bouquet.

Today I want to introduce you to one of my blogging buddies’ new ventures, Fourth&Folded. Chelsey is a self-confessed paperaholic with a love for bold colors, fresh patterns, and crisp patterns. I’ve been following Chelsey since her days as Miss Gloss on Weddingbee, and knew as soon as I saw the invitations she designed for her own wedding that a semi-DIY paper business would be a natural outgrowth for her talent.
From Chelsey:
My designs are what I refer to as ‘classically modern.’ To start, you have ‘classic,’ which is about a good foundation, proportions and details. Then you have ‘modern’, which negates any antiqueness and allows designs to be fresh, with clean lines and bold colors. It is being elegant, without being formal or stuffy. It is having a strong sense of design and style without being trendy. In effect, it is timeless.

All of Chelsey’s designs are completely customizable — colors, fonts, patterns. She’d also love to design something just for you!

Since the designs are available as digital downloads, you have the option of printing your set with an online printer, a local printer, or at home… or Chelsey will do it for you!

The cost of an invitation + reply card set is $55. Other items, like direction cards, escort cards, and ceremony programs, are available for purchase a la carte.


Sound like your kind of DIY? Check out Chelsey’s Etsy store here and her blog here! She’s also promised that the standalone Fourth&Folded site will be up and running in the next few days, so I’ll be sure to update when it goes live!
