AmpersandInk is a boutique (one women) design studio, based in Southern California, specializing in custom stationery for fun and quirky couples/small business. Founded during the summer of 2010 with the opening of my first Etsy shop, where I sold custom wedding guest book posters and party favors. Since then I have worked with brides and wedding consultants around the world and been featured on 1

00 Layer Cake, Green Wedding Shoes, Ceremony Magazine, Exquisite Weddings Magazine…

I love working with couples who want to share their love story in a unique creative way, using paper and ink.

✨ Nicole & Nathaniel’s Love Story ✨

When Nicole first reached out, she wrote: “I came across your beautiful wedding invitations on your Etsy page and instantly fell in love!” 💌 From that moment, I knew this design would be something special!

They envisioned a romantic indoor setting inspired by The Foundry—brick walls, vaulted ceilings draped in sheer fabric, glowing string lights, and delicate florals. Adding sentimental touches like books, mason jars, and a Scrabble tile with “N2” made this suite truly theirs. 🕊️✨

Hearing their love story—the St. Patrick’s Day party, late-night IHOP date, and Nate running a mile in dress shoes just to see Nicole—made bringing their vision to life even more meaningful. Their invitation suite wasn’t just about the aesthetics; it was about capturing their journey in art.

Moments like these remind me why I love what I do—turning love stories into timeless heirlooms. 💛

🌿✨ A love story rooted in tradition & romance ✨🌿

Krista & Drew said “I do” in the most special place—Drew’s family home in St. Helena, where generations before them have celebrated love. Their invitation set the tone with custom hand-drawn illustrations: Krista in her breathtaking gown, Drew in his classic 3-piece suit, their sweet pup Penny, and the picturesque ceremony site under a grand oak tree, framed by vineyard views. 🍇🌳💍

Every detail was crafted to reflect their story—timeless, elegant, and deeply personal. 💕

Would you love an invitation that captures your love story?

Let’s create something unforgettable together! ✍️✨

Ever since I was little, I’ve loved bringing people together through thoughtful details.
My sister and I would plan surprise date nights for our parents—turning our home into a cozy bed & breakfast or a movie theater, complete with handmade tickets. Looking back, those little moments of creativity and connection were just the beginning of my love for stationery. ✨

What started as crafting invitations for friends has grown into Ampersand Ink Designs—a place where I get to help couples tell their love story through hand-drawn illustrations and meaningful details. Because to me, stationery isn’t just paper—it’s a way to create lasting memories. 💌

What’s a small childhood moment that foreshadowed where you are today?

Let’s reminisce in the comments! ⬇️💕

The twinkling strings of Christmas lights create a magical ambiance, but when it’s time to pack them away, it often turns into a tangled mess!
As we clean up after the holiday festivities, we find ourselves wrestling with those stubborn cords, memories of the holiday joy wrapped up in the chaos.

I’ll be sharing some of my illustrations of the winter season along with my favorite Christmas carols.

The poinsettia.
A symbol of good will and community.

I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play;
In music sweet the tones repeat,
“There’s peace on earth, good will to men.”
I thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along th’ unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good will to men.
And in despair I bowed my head:
“There is no peace on earth,” I said,
“For hate is strong, and mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men.”
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
“God is not dead, nor does He sleep,
For Christ is here; His Spirit near
Brings peace on earth, good will to men.”
When men repent and turn from sin
The Prince of Peace then enters in,
And grace imparts within their hearts
His peace on earth, good will to men.
O souls amid earth’s busy strife,
The Word of God is light and life;
Oh, hear His voice, make Him your choice,
Hail peace on earth, good will to men.
Then happy, singing on your way,
Your world will change from night to day;
Your heart will feel the message real,
Of peace on earth, good will to men.

Henry W. Longfellow
