Rockabilly Wedding Invitation-Luck of the Draw
Here is a retro casino inspired wedding invitation. With red and black, vintage font, and card suits, this makes for a cool Vegas wedding stationery for a rockabilly couple.
As always, there are options for coordinating Save the Dates, thank you cards, bridesmaid/groomsmen cards, and bachelor/bachelorette party cards. I can also design custom matching stamps.
Customized Card: Tattoo Names Lovebird Swallows
I created this cool card for people who want to send a love note, anniversary card, or congrats without being cliche and sappy. Slightly grungy, slightly punk, slightly rockabilly, whatever you wanna call it….with faded blue splatters, splattered red and black swallows carrying banners with two names of your choice in tattoo letters, this is a unique “I Love You”/Anniversary/Congratulations card.

Punk Wedding Invitation-Distressed Riot
Ok, so being a super big “real” punk fan (and by real I mean The Dead Kennedys, Misfts, Rancid, the Clash…I could go on for days) I am extremely hesitant to brand anything as “punk.” Especially a wedding invitation. Being a part of “underground” culture, it’s easy to be exploited and marketed. However, when making this invite, I really couldn’t describe it any other way….
With splatters and distressed font, and even an awesome black rhinestone, I think this makes a killer punk wedding invitation.
As usual, I have coresponding designs for Save the Dates, thank you cards, and more, including postal stamps.
Some Rockabilly Save the Dates
Here are coordinating Save the Date (engagement announcements) to match my two current rockabilly wedding stationery sets: Sailor Tattoo Blue and Luck of the Draw
I also make custom stamps for these!

Rockabilly Wedding Invitation-Sailor Blue Tattoo
Here is one invitation and matching RSVP sets with a rockabilly inspired theme. I think it’d go great for any hip couples having a rockabilly styled wedding. Stay tuned for more work and styles, and I’m more than happy to make custom orders.
The first- Sailor Tattoo Blue, with tattoo letters, nautical stars, baby blue, and swirly scrolls, has a great vintage style.
I also have coordinating Save the Dates and designs for matching reception cards, thank you cards, bridesmaid/groomsmen cards, and bachelorette/bachelor party cards. I can also design matching stamps.
Classy Halloween Inspired Wedding Invitation
This is a wedding invitation design with a Halloween edge or darker feel, but still fit for classy couples. Complete with a lone tree, full moon, rhinestones, and art deco inspired font.
Cemetery Art
I took a stroll through a local cemetery the other day, with my camera of course. I took so many pictures. I dig graveyards, and I enjoy reading headstones. I prefer taking pictures of all the details and tying everything in together…I snapped photos of fences, names, quotes, and more. I created this digital “collage” of just a sample of the details I caught.
It can be purchased for print here.
Juggling Artfire/Etsy
I have an Artfire, I have an Etsy.
Etsy, is more popular (and older) than Artfire is. Is any website going to ever dethrone their awesomeness in the handmade/art/craft kingdom? Who knows. I’m about the artist though, AND the consumer. And absolute power…..well, shorts the artist and the consumer. So, options are my friend. I heart my Artfire, and I heart my Etsy. This is NOT about conversion or preference, I’m displaying my personal opinions regarding JUGGLING the two.
Without getting into a rundown of compare/contrast Artfire Vs. Etsy (There are some lists and blogs out there!) I’ll note that the biggest argument against Artfire and for Etsy is the difference in popularity/sales.
What a no brainer, right? I look at it like this though. Lets say I have a product at two stores: one popular, (Store 1) and the other, not so popular (Store 2). If someone came to Store 2 to buy it, I wouldn’t tell them to go to Store 1 to buy it.
For one, they’re already at Store 2. Regardless of whether or not Store 2 means no fees, or whether the customer doesn’t have to make a special account to buy it, they came to THAT STORE and liked my product. Even with a thriving reputation at Store 1 that I intend to grow, I wouldn’t do it.
Second, Store 2 may not be popular for the sake that not as many people are selling their products there. Perhaps the biggest reason for less products/sellers, is less reflection of sales. It’s harder to convince a seller to put their product in Store 2, if it looks like no one is selling products. Well, it’s harder to convince a customer that Store 2 is so awesome, if it doesn’t look like anyone wants to buy their stuff there. This makes it harder on people who sell things ONLY at Store 2, and it makes it hard for Store 2 to stay open.
So, if someone wants to buy something on my Etsy, YEEHAW! If they want to buy something on my Artfire, YEEHAW! I attempt putting dual effort in promoting both stores. More places means more freedom for artists and sellers alike. I say, whatever works. If you don’t want to put much effort into your Artfire, it’s your choice! I just dread possible negative consequences transpiring from utilizing it purely as a means to link to the product on another website, because it may just be devaluing other studios and products.
Classy Goth Inspired Wedding Invitation
I am proud to have completed the Dark Elegance Invitation and RSVP. This wedding invitation set would suit the edgy-but-classy couple having a dark and elegant wedding. Perfect for a goth or Halloween wedding.
The photographed invitation and RSVP is printed on white linen 80# cover stock. The matching white linen A7 envelope is 70#.
Unique Marriage Proposal: Rockabilly Red Tattoo Engagement Ring Box
I finished my first super sweet proposal box.
Instead of being drab and predictable, proposals should be unique and awesome. This engagement box is good for a rockabilly couple, or punk duo. It has tattoo letters, and the obviously necessary red and black. It’s also customized with personalized names on the bottom. I can’t wait to work with a rockabilly wedding or punk wedding and making these keepsake proposal box for an edgy, unique couple.
