Feature: Handmade Creations by Ashley

Ashley Hickmon of Handmade Creations

Today I will be featuring a talented individual and close colleague, Ashley. As I have mentioned before and would like to reiterate, she is an extremely creative craftsman. She can think of anything and then create it. Today, however, I am going to focus on her invitations because I have never before seen hand crafted invitations like she does them. Her invitations, rather than being one dimensional, have depth and character. She takes what you can imagine and then turns it into something spectacular. She uses any type of type of materials that you can imagine to create something special and unique. Using a graphic design can be extremely impersonal and you will most likely see that design somewhere else. When Ashley creates your invitations it is one of kind and made just for you!



One of her most recent wedding invitations. 

She hand makes each one and can make hundreds for you. She loves what she does and takes time to make each one as special as the next.

These wedding invitation inserts had pearl embellishments. Each one was placed separately on the card by Ashley. She takes time on all the small details so it looks exactly how you imagined.

These invitations were extremely complicated because of the different folds involved! But Ashley was able to pull them off perfectly. Purple on the inside...

...With a completely separate pattern on the outside. She also used wax seals as the finishing touch. A wonderfully made invitation.

And she doesn't stop there. She will make invitations for any occasion!
