Product Spotlight! Eyelet Setter

I am launching a new addition to the Daydream Ink Blog....product spotlights.  I use and discover so many great products everytime I begin a new project.  I thought I would showcase some of them here for you to see.

Today's spotlight is my new favorite tool - an eyelet setter.  There are many names for this product and many variations.  I adore the one I have and used it recently on my sister in law's layered programs.  Its easy to use and adds a touch of color and variety to any project.

this is my eyelet setter and it works on two size eyelets.
I think my favorite part of this tool borers on addiction - the eyelet colors!!  You can see them here but there are so many varieties out there and I have found some great vendors.

You only need your papers and  a single hole punch

Here is how I used them on Kara's wedding programs to add a touch of yellow color

Wedding Spotlight

Wedding Spotlight!

The professional pictures are in of my recent wedding programs and table cards!
Just had to share my love - thanks Kara!

Mickey would be proud

There's nothing greater than having a disney wedding...but getting to attend one is sure close.
My sister in law just had an awesome Disney wedding this month and she now gets this spotlight!
I was so lucky and pleased to be able to create her programs and table cards. What's more the theme was right up my alley and I had to kind of hold back.

Kara's theme was based on the big mouse himself -Mickey. Pulling her inspiration from Mickey Mouse her colors were red, yellow, black and white.
On my last trip I picked up these cool mickey mouse coasters that showed Mickey through the years. Well I instantly thought of them as a cool table card theme for her wedding.
She had 11 tables and we used various mickey cartoons and styles over the years.

I am waiting for her professional pictures but for now here are some I took.

we placed the years on the bottom as well.
Her programs came out so great I was really sad I hadn't thought of them for my own wedding.

I used white paper, black font and used black satin ribbon to pull them together.
I used just a hint of red on the large titles, as well as a touch of yellow at the top, by using an eyelet.

If the slipper fits....

Well Disney is my favorite so helping a friend design her programs and table cards was a real treat. I had so much fun working on these for her and they really put a smile on her face when she saw them all put together.

Her theme was Cinderella, as they had got engaged in front of her castle in Disney World! She had a total of 18 tables that needed names and images, so I quickly went to work.

I printed them on both sides and backed them with an irredescent blue paper in her color.




these were her tables and the "Bibbity-Boppity-Boo" table.


Their Happily Ever After




I also made their programs. Sadly I wasn't at the ceremony so I am anxiously waiting to see the professional pics of these. She wanted a tiered design she had seen at a wedding and we added in her little bit of cinderella.

The last details.

My most recent job was creating programs for a friends wedding. I call these the last details...those finishing touches that really put the final mark on the wedding day. Programs are a great way for your guests to know your bridal party, share a special thanks, and allow them to follow along with the ceremony.
These were fun to make and the dusty rose ribbon really matched the bridesmaids dresses perfectly.
