We love receiving pictures of our stationery from clients. We especially love it when a DIY Perfect Petals Fan client shows us what they did with their fan programs. Above is a picture from Linda R. of St. Petersburg, Florida. Linda, we love what you did! Can't wait to hear all about the wedding.

Do you have a picture of your Cherish Paperie stationery that you'd like to share? Please email us at danielle@cherishpaperie.com and you may be featured next!

DIY Fans Just Got Easier {Ideas and Information}

Danielle — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 21:30:00 +0000

As most know, we here at Custom Programs offer a line of DIY fan programs that you can customize as you like on your own. It not only helps you save some money by printing and assembling your programs on your own, but it also allows you to put your personal touch on your programs.

We now also offer pre-printed and perforated petals to use as cover accent pages. These petals are pre-printed with either the aqua filigree or wildflower design (more designs to come). DIY fans are printed and perforated 2-up on each sheet with 25 sheets per pack. You can choose to use the pre-printed sheets for your entire fan or just for an accept cover page.

You can also use our wildflower or filigree line of invitations to match your DIY programs.

And if you don't like the colors shown just contact us and we can customize the color for you! We want your wedding invitations and programs to be just as perfect as you on your wedding day!

A Rainbow of Colors {Ideas and Information}

Danielle — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 21:23:00 +0000

We get asked a lot if we can do a program or invitation that is exactly like one pictured on our gallery but in a different color...and the answer is YES! Everything we do is custom (hence our name) so if you can dream it we can do it!

Here are a few samples of our 2 most popular fan styles, the filigree and the wildflowers fan designs. As you can see we can use any color paper as well as any ink color...just ask!

Also remember that a great addition to your custom program is ribbon. You can customize your program even more with a simple bow in a complimentary color. Or add some embellishments to the program as well. Want your program to sparkle? Add rhinestones!

If you have an idea, let us know! We are always willing to try new ideas and would love to create the perfect product for your special day!

Fun DIY Fans {Ideas and Information}

Danielle — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 22:43:00 +0000

I get a lot of questions from customers about how they can "liven" up their DIY fans. Here are a few suggestions:

Adding a fun brad or eyelet
You can find these at your local scrapbook store and at places like Michaels and JoAnn craft stores. The eyelets we use for our custom fans are most similar to the fabric ones because we buy them in bulk, but any of the fun ones work great too!
I definitely recommend a Crop-o-dile as the easiest way of setting the eyelets - this is a great tool that punches the hole and crimps the eyelet and it can be found almost everywhere, Wal-mart or Amazon, to your local scrapbook store (hint: you barely need to press the handles to crimp the eyelet, to hold the fan together with this machine...too hard and the petals will not turn)

Playing with fonts and graphics
You can find some cool FREE fonts: http://www.dafont.com/ or you can purchase some nicer ones: http://www.veer.com/products/fonts/ or http://new.myfonts.com/
Find FREE graphics http://www.vectorstock.com/home/ or you can purchase graphics: http://www.fotolia.com/ or http://www.istockphoto.com

Adding embellishments
Adding rhinestones, charms or different color ribbon will give your program a different look and is the easiest way to match your program to the rest of your wedding. Ebay is a great place to find these embellishments and is quite inexpensive for bulk items.

By using these tools to transform your programs you will be able to personalize and create the perfect program. Your guests will appreciate seeing some of your personality in them as well. And remember to have fun!
