Lily of the Valley wedding invitation / Invitatie de nunnta cu lacramioare

Spring is here, or it`s almost gone?! Lily of the Valley was all over the town, at every corner, sold by old ladies or by gipsy ladies. And I love them so much that I wish they never abandon this activity :)

Nici nu mai stiu daca e primavara sau daca s-a si terminat! Cred ca ati vazut si voi tantile batrane sau femeile rrome cu lacramioare la colturi de strada. Imi plac atat de mult incat mi-as dori sa fie intotdeauna cineva cu flori de vanzare la coltul strazii :)

This season I had a special client who wanted wedding invitations with Lily of the Valley. Now, that was a challenge because I wanted something delicate and beautiful yet strong and resistant.

O clienta foarte deosebita mi-a cerut anul acesta invitatii cu lacramioare. Si a fost o mare provocare pentru ca vroiam sa creez ceva delicat si totusi rezistent.


I came up with two designs, many color combos and she chose this:
I-am propus doua modele si mai multe variatii de culoare, iar ea a ales acest model:

I`ve noticed that my clients request bring out of my head the most beautiful creations and no matter how much I create new designs, the ones that they suggest will always be the best ones!
Am observat ca propunerile clientilor mei scot din mine cele mai frumoase creatii si indiferent cat de mult creez eu singura modele noi, cele sugerate de ei sunt intotdeauna cele mai bune!

I like everything about these invitations - the green of the cardstock (a little bit pearlescent), how it goes with the ribbon, the embossing pattern, the delicate stem and of course, the delicate and beautiful lilies of the valley.
Imi place totul la invitatiile acestea - nuanta de verde a cartonului (e putin sidefat), cum se potriveste cu panglica verde, modelul embosat, tulpina delicate si bineinteles minunatele lacramioare stilizate.

I am not very active with blogging... as there are so many wonderful things happening in my life that the blog is now somewhere at the end of the list...
De multa vreme blogging-ul este in capatul listei si nu prea am activat cu postari noi... asta din cauza ca in viata mea se petrec tot felul de lucruri minunate si nu mai am timp pentru toate... dar poate si pentru ca realizand invitatii multe mi se pare ca nu e chiar atat de interesant pentru voi.

Enjoy your quilling and keep creating with passion!
Savurati la maxim quilling pe care-l faceti si creati mereu cu pasiune!

Burlap sunflower invitation / Invitatie cu floarea soarelui rustica

Now, which one is your favorite? I prefer the one with burlap and the one with orange raffia. I used the same recycled cardstock for all the designs, actually it`s the same card and the same flower I only changed the ribbon.

How is your summer? I enjoy these days, I enjoy reading and I enjoy the good light that helps me take beautiful pictures!

Here they are...

Hope you like them,
even if they look natural it took me a while until I arrived here.

Wedding cake invitation / Invitatie de nunta cu tort

Salutare :) Imi dau seama ca folosesc in ultima vreme prea mult cuvantul nunta, dar imi plac atat de mult toate creatiile pentru nunti incat nu pot sa nu-mi imaginez aceste felicitari cu tort sub forma unor invitatii de nunta. E drept ca domeniul nuntilor reprezinta o intreaga industrie, dar ca si Craciunul, e ceva atat de frumos!!!

Hello there :) I realize that I use quite a lot the word wedding lately, but I just adore all the beatiful things that are created around this event, so that it`s imposible for me to avoid the comparison between these cards and weddin invitations. It`s true that an entire industry was created around weddings, but, like Christmas, it`s sooo beautiful!!!

Iata minunatiile pe care le-am creat. Adica o parte din ele pentru ca am facut aproape 40 - jumate cu vanilie si jumate cu ciocolata.

Here are the beaties I created. I mean a part of them since I`ve made almost 40 cards - half with a vanilla cake and half with chocolate cake.

As face anumite modificari ca sa fie potrivite pentru invitatii de nunta, dar ideea mi se pare super de tot ca si simbol.

I would change some things to make them look like wedding invitations, but the cake theme seems so great for a wedding invitation.

Lot of joy from here,
Cu multa bucurie,
Anca

Invitatii de nunta cu sah / Chess wedding

Iata una dintre invitatiile tematice pe care le-am pregatit pentru Nunta la Palat de la Cluj. Georgiana de la Deco Life are niste idei super originale pentru decor! Cand mi-a spus sa fac un set de papetarie - invitatii, numar de masa si place card - cu tema sah am fost incantata. Am facut mai mult modele, am incercat si sa ilustrez piese de sah cu quilling. Iar cea cu quilling i-a placut cel mai mult! Am avut si alte idei pentru piesele de sah quilling insa mi-a trebuit ceva rapid (stiu, totul e pe repede inainte azi, poate din cauza ca vrem sa incercam mereu muuulte lucruri).

Here is one of the wedding invitations that I`ve prepared for the wedding fair I told you about. Georgiana from Deco Life has some super-mega original ideas! When she asked for a set of wedding invitation, place card and table number with chess theme I was delighted! This is not the only design, but the only one with quilling for thi theme and was the one she prefered. I had some other ides for the chess pieces but there was no time for sophisticatd things (I know, there is always little time in our days - I believe we have too many things we want to try).

Mie imi place foarte mult cum arata si decorul pune atat de frumos in evidenta creatia mea! Aici poze de aparat simplu. E aceeasi lucrare!
I like a lot the way they look and the table decorations makes everything look even more beautiful! Here you can see pictures with my camera. It`s the same work!

Imi plac mult aceste provocari. Si imi place ce iese cand mai multi oameni lucreaza impreuna!
I just love these challenges. And I also love the fruits of good co-working!

Hugs,
happy me :)

Imbratisari din partea unei bucuroase :)

Invitatie cu floarea soarelui / Sunflower wedding ivitation

A trecut un an de cand am facut primele invitatii de nunta si in acest timp am facut o multime de flori. Mai ales floarea soarelui! Iata inca un model pe care nu vi l-am prezentat, foarte drag mie.
It`s been an year from my first wedding invitations and during this time I`ve made a lot of flower. Especially sunflowers! Here is another sunflower quilling design which I didn`t show you. This flower is so dear to me!

Ceea ce fac imi da foarte multa satisfactie, dar uneori este atat de epuizant si de solicitant! Foarte interesant cum nimic din ceea ce facem nu este intotdeauna usor!
What I make brings so much joy, but sometimes the same work is so exhausting! Nothing is really so easy at it seems!

Si mai tineti minte floarea soarelui pe care am plantat-o in gradina? A inflorit luna aceasta :)
And, do you remember the sunflower from my garden? This month I saw its first flowers :)

HUGS!

Invitatii de nunta rosii / Red wedding stationery

Welcome my dear friends! For today I have these flowers I made for Oana. 225 like this. This project was a huge challenge for me from more reasons (don`t want to mention them - will make my post tooo complicate). I`ll let you watch the pictures. The wedding took place, that`s why I can show you the invitations.

Bine ati venit dragi prieteni! Pentru azi am aceste flori pe care le-am facut pentru Oana. 225 de bucati. Acest proiect a fost o provocare imensa pentru mine din mai multe motive (dar nu vreau sa le mentionez pentru ca vor face acest post prea complicat). Va las sa priviti pozele. Nunta a avut deja loc, de aceea va pot arata invitatiile.

It`s weddings season (already I`ve been guest to THREE this month!). I quite like it but they are such a time & energy consumer. Wishing you a wonderful weekend, Anca Este sezonul nuntilor (deja am fost la TREI nunti luna aceasta!). Oarecum imi place, dar sunt asa mari consumatori de timp si energie. Va doresc un weekend minunat, Anca ~la noi se sarbatoresc zilele Clujului, scrieti-mi un mail daca sunteti prin zona sa ne vedem la o limonada pe terasa :)~

Wedding invitation with purple flowers

Hello my dear ones! As I told here I am today with this new design for a wedding invitation. I believe I sold this design as a card, but I imagined it for a wedding.

Buna dragele mele! Asa cum va spuneam in ultimul post, revin acum cu un model de invitatie de nunta. Cred ca acest model s-a vandut ca si felicitare, dar cand am creat-o m-am gandit la ea ca la o invitatie pentru nunta.

You know how much I love this type of flowers, hope you like it too! Stiti cat de mult imi plac florile acestea, sper sa va placa si voua!

Sunflower wedding madness

Floarea soarelui e acum mica in gradina. Am pus niste seminte - pentru prima data. Quillingul a adus foarte aproape de mine aceasta floare. Clientii mei sunt innebuniti dupa floarea soarelui. Asa ca azi va las sa panditi un piculet prin munca mea. Sunflower is now very small in my garden. I planted some seeds for the first time. Quilling brought sunflower very, very close to me. There is an infinite love for this plant among my clients. For today a sneak peek into my wedding sunflower creations.

Invitatiile de nunta cu floarea soarelui au intr-adevar ceva special. Acum sunt si eu innebunita dupa ele. Sunflower wedding invitations have something special indeed. Now, I`m crazy about them too :) Hugs and kisses, Anca

Sunflower wedding invitation 2

Iata un alt design pentru invitatii de nunta cu floarea soarelui. Am creat mai multe modele, va voi dezvalui pe rand cate un alt design. Cea de data trecuta se numea Vanilla. Aceasta se numeste Chocolate.
Here is another design for a sunflower wedding invitation. I`ve made more designs and I`ll share with you step by step another one. Last time I showed you the one named Vanilla. This one is Chocolate.

Cand le-am aratat pritenelor mele, doua dintre ele au preferat-o pe aceasta, spuneau ele ca le place contrastul. Mie combinatia de ciocolatiu si hartia sidefata mi se pare bestiala. Si, mai spunea o prietena "Vai, ar fi si pacat sa faci altceva, Doamne cata rabdare ai".
Two friends saw my designs and both prefered this one because of the contrast that it has. One of them said "Oh, it would be a shame for you to do anything else, oh my God how much patience you have!".

Ei bine, trec printr-o perioada mai sensibila a vietii mele, cu alegeri grele de facut, si totusi, in timpul putin care ramane aleg sa fac asta (quilling, designuri ai alte creativitati). Sa fie oare un semn? :)
Well, right now I`m going through difficult times, with hard decisions... yet in the little time I have I prefer doing this (quilling, designs and other creative things).

Florile nu sunt lipite definitiv de invitatii, am folosit burete cu lipici ca sa le pot schimba intre ele, adica sa folosesc aceeasi baza dar flori diferite.
I added the flowers to the invitations using a piece of glue foam because I wanted to use the same card for different flowers.
Hugs,
Anca
