Wedding Seating Chart Created for NFL Player Wedding, in Less Than 24 Hours!

By

A wedding seating chart can be a beautiful last minute addition to any wedding, even last minute.

We received a call late on a Thursday night from a celebrity wedding planner’s assistant, Kristiana, who was in a bit of a panic. She needed a mirror seating chart for a wedding on, wait for it,  Saturday night for NFL Kansas City Chiefs Justin Houston’s wedding. The mirror was over 6 ft tall and there were around 100 guests to list on it. The biggest challenge was we weren’t able to get the mirror from her until Friday night. No problem! Our chalkboard artist was ready for the challenge. Kristiana had called around to other Atlanta calligraphers and wasn’t able to find anyone else to help her. She was so relieved when Inkwell Designers came to the rescue!

The mirror was delivered on Friday night as promised and we went to work on this very large wedding seating chart.

Although it was a challenge, we got it done on time and it was ready for pickup on Saturday morning. The wedding planner, Tiffany Cook, was very pleased with the work and thought it looked, “Fantastic!” Kristana told us, “You guys did a beyond fantastic job and I will absolutely use your company for any calligraphy needs we have in the future.” That’s music to our ears. When clients come back to us over and over, we know we’ve provided great talent and service.

Leather Monogramming Service Saves Husband’s 2018 Leather Planner

By

Our leather monogramming service saved the day for a young wife in Atlanta who wanted to surprise her husband with a special leather planner before his upcoming business trip. The only problem was the planner had someone else’s monogram on it and the wife had tried to remove it with rubbing alcohol. The result wasn’t pretty as you can see from the picture above. Although the monogram was removed completely, so was most of the leather dye used to originally create the planner which left a big gray smudge on the bottom right hand corner.

Her husband was leaving for a trade show later in the month and she really wanted his initials monogrammed on the leather in place of the now smudged area. She was devastated when she saw the dye come off while she was working on it and calling us was a last ditch effort to just cover it up.

We were able to take on the challenge! Not only did we cover it with a new monogram, we fixed the leather area and brought it back to its original state.

We covered the area with a black leather dye marker to neutralize the gray color. Then we treated the area with black shoe polish and leather cleaner to get the leather condition back to it’s original state.

Desiree hot stamped a new gold foil monogram over the newly refinished area. The result was amazing! You couldn’t even tell the leather had been damaged. See the result below.

Our leather monogramming service goes the extra mile to not only ensure a beautiful monogram, but we also ensure the item itself returns back to the customer in even better condition than we received it. We always clean every item until it shines. This was an extra challenge for us, but the results were worth it and the client was very, very pleased. She couldn’t wait to give the “new” planner to her husband before his trip. It’s a great feeling to know we were able to turn her mistake into a treasured gift.

Are you ready to have a monogram added to your planner, book or journal? Please contact us here or call us at 833 465 9311! We’re ready to help  make your next monogrammed gift even more special!

Liquor Bottle Engraver Makes A Cognac Birthday Gift Extra Special

By

Liquor bottle engraver, Desiree Colonna, created a special birthday gift when a customer asked her to find a Dusse Cognac bottle for a friend’s birthday gift. The woman had seen Desiree’s work on Instagram and couldn’t wait for Desiree to engrave her liquor bottle.

Desiree set off to create a one-of-a-kind design for this extraordinarily beautiful bottle of cognac.

Desiree ordered the bottle at a local liquor store, picked it up and then started her work.

The front of the bottle had the classic Dusse cross embedded on it. Desiree decided to do her engraving on the back since there was already a lot on the front of the bottle and there wasn’t much room for the message on the front of the bottle.


The customer wanted a very simple message, “Happy Brithday, Dale!” Desiree asked the client if she wanted a couple joined hearts engraved and the customer loved the idea.

Having experience as a liquor bottle engraver for more than a year, Desiree knew that a simple design would be best. She created the message with her handpiece drill and Engrosser’s Script calligraphy, all by hand, no layout. This bottle is hand engraved, not etched or laser engraved. All of our liquor bottles are engraved by hand for the utmost care and accuracy.

The engraving was completed and Desiree sent the client a picture. The customer was extremely happy with the final result!

Desiree boxed up the bottle and sent it to the recipient. This was all done within a 24 hour time period and the bottle was delivered exactly on the actual birthday, a perfect gift!

We can create a beautiful personalized engraved liquor bottle for any occasion whether it is a birthday, anniversary or even no special occasion at all! We’d love to work with you and bring your ideas to life.

Give us a call at 833 465 9311 to get your custom engraved liquor bottle order started!

Wood Engraving a Ring Box for a Bride to Be

By

Wood engraving is the art of burning or engraving images or letters into wood using a woodburning tool.  Recently, a bride to be came to us with a beautiful small cherry wood ring box she wanted engraved with the word “MRS.” We were happy to take up the challenge and create a one-of-a-kind calligraphy design for the top of the box.

After the bride was texted pictures of several calligraphy styles to select, we created three designs on the box in pencil. The bride selected the style shelike and the wood engraving was done by hand using a Razertip® woodburning tool.

We also included a small surprise for her inside.wood engraving

Hot Foil Stamping a Leather iPad Cover and Bible for a Local Clergyman

By

Hot foil stamping can be done on most leather items with a gorgeous final effect if done correctly. The hard part is finding a leather embossing company who would be willing to perform hot foil stamping on items you:

  1. Haven’t bought from them.
  2. Bought from them, but they don’t feel comfortable working with for a myriad of reasons.

Both of these were true for a recent Inkwell Designers customer.

When Dr. Lumanog went to a very large local Christian bookstore to buy a bible, he also brought his iPad cover and wanted both items hot foil stamped with his name in gold foil.

He was told that they couldn’t stamp the bible because the leather was too thin. They also told him they wouldn’t hot foil stamp the iPad because it was his personal property and they wouldn’t take the risk helping him in case something went wrong. Keep in mind, there are instances where the leather won’t take the foil because it’s treated, but this wasn’t the case.

He left the store very frustrated and started looking online. He found the page about our leather embossing service using a Google search and called immediately.

He talked to our CEO, Desiree Colonna who had actually taken the day off  as it was July 3, the day before the July 4th holiday. Dr. Lumanog had just started his sabbatical and really wanted to get the items hot stamped before he took his vacation. Desiree offered to meet him near downtown Woodstock, GA within an hour and had the item done exactly one hour later. Helping Jack on her day off was an easy decision because she loves what she does. “When you love what you do, it doesn’t feel like work!” stated Desiree when Dr. Lumanog asked why she was so willing to help him with the project.

Dr. Lumanog was so pleased he wrote the following 5-Star Google review:

hot foil stamping review

We are more than willing to help with items a lot of large stores refuse to work with. All we need is a picture of the item and to talk to you to determine if the item is a candidate for hot foil stamping. If you aren’t sure, please contact us directly at 833 465 9311 ext. 2 and we’ll be happy to help you make that determination and perform the service. Pricing starts at $25 with no color and $35 for gold, silver or rose gold foil. Give us a call today!
