“After searching through tons of the same style ‘bridesmaid proposal’ cards & not loving any, these were exactly what I was looking for— simple & classic. Thank you!”

Well, it’s about time for a new post🤦🏼‍♀️ Truthfully, I don’t have a profound reason for the lack of posting— it just has been a busy couple of months with work, family, & travels!! What a wonderful world we get to live in— thanks for sticking around on here! .
In order to showcase a bit of 2018 work & hopefully inspire a few 2019/2020 couples, I have begun to post a few “portfolio-esque” stories that help display all the types of work that Abbey Ratcliff, Paper Artistry offers! Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any thoughts, ideas, or questions. I’m hoping that 2019 is filled with creating unique, purposeful pieces that bring joy to many!! The first piece showcased was Place Cards— see the full gallery in my saved stories: Day-Of Paperie.
.
Above is one of the many place cards I have had the privilege of making! Tap the photo to see all the wonderful humans that helped create such a stunning tablescape for Amanda & Chris!

Working away on these Sunday evening in order to prepare for a relaxing Thanksgiving week with family💛— while working weekends are not ideal, I have been able to look through so many pictures & remember the incredible vendors, grooms, & brides that I have been able to work with over the past year, what a gift!!

Hey @emmaleafloral, remember when you made a FLORAL FRAME for this simple Biscuit Bar sign?! Friends, please hire Emma to do this for every piece of signage!!! It was an absolute dream.

After such an incredible response to my foliage frame prints, I have decided to offer them as Christmas Cards!
.
You will be able to customize the text inside the foliage frame & add a sweet, personalized Christmas note on the back—
.
If you have any questions at all or would like to customize the card further than the listing allows, don’t hesitate to send an email my way.
.
I may be slightly biased, but how fun & thoughtful would it be to send a Christmas card that all of your friends and family could use as decor for years to come.
.
Thanks for supporting this business and shopping small— it truly, truly means more than you know! Link to purchase in bio.

Strength. Light. Beauty.

This piece will hang in the nursery of a sweet babe soon to be born. The words above were chosen by her parents- they have been spoken & prayed over a little human that will grow to have a personality & voice of her own. .
My hope for this piece is for it to be a reminder, in both the cuddles & the meltdowns, of these three words that encompass their tiny human— what an gift it is to create with purpose trumping expectation.

Process— I’ve begun to use physical moodboards. Whether it be for a custom wedding invitation suite or a personal painting, it helps the visual side of my brain create the feeling that I desire to obtain through the piece of art. Currently, I am inspired most by colors & movement— so the majority of my boards are directed towards colors & movement that bring out “hope”, “kindness”, “gentleness”, “love”, “strength”, etc. .
Have any of you shifted to or used a physical mood board? What do you enjoy about it?
