An Elephant BIRTHDAY

I was delighted to work with a dear friend on these fabulous invitations for her little guy's first birthday.

This adorable little elephant and balloon can be customized with your color scheme and a variety of available patterns, or printed exactly as it is. We can even add more balloons for bigger birthdays!

This particular design uses a double mat to fit snugly into an A7 envelope. It can also be printed as a 5 x 7, without any matting at all. The invitation comes with white envelopes, but you can also upgrade to Tiffany Blue or Red envelopes for the invitation (just like the thank you cards). Return address design shown is not recommended to be printed on the colored envelopes.

Take advantage of the newest piece of equipment to my studio and add rounded corners to this design free of charge! (PROMOTION)

Complete the invitation set with coordinating, thank you cards and stickers. Alternative designs are available. Just let me know what you want and I'll design something custom for you!

A Bowling Birthday Party!

The 5x7 version of this design is now available in my NealonDesign Etsy store. Click HERE to go directly to this listing. Or you can view my full NealonDesign Etsy store.

I recently designed these birthday invitations for brothers with birthdays in September. I also designed a 5x7 version using only one child's name. If you think this invitation is perfect for your party, let me know if you like the thin, vertical design (3.5 x 8.25) or the standard 5 x 7.

As always, I am happy to design coordinating thank you cards, stickers and return address printing. Just let me know what your needs are!

"NATHAN" — Folded Pattern Birth Announcement

"NATHAN"
I had such fun designing these baby announcements for one of my very dearest friends. She welcomed her first child, a beautiful baby boy, on Mother's Day!

His room is super cute — lots of patterns and a very chic yellow, gray and navy color combination. There are also a few subtle giraffes. I used all of these design elements as inspiration for his announcement design! (click to enlarge the room collage and if you look carefully, you'll find the baby boy himself!) Send me pictures of your baby's nursery and I can [attempt to] do the same for you!

The overall construction of these announcements was a first for me and actually required a lot of math to get them to print and fold properly. They fit into a standard A2 size envelope. They are printed in full color on both sides to feature a picture on the front cover (in this case, feet, coupled with the little saying "our home has grown by two feet"). Open the announcement to reveal a very large picture of the baby boy, his name monogram and birth stats. The back side of the announcements has the pattern carried over from the front as well as an image of the whole family with a caption including the location and date of the photo.

You can use a standard white/natural envelope or upgrade to a colored, coordinating envelope for an additional 10¢ each.

Additionally, the sky is the limit. I can do stickers, thank you cards, etc. etc. Just ask and I'll give you a price.
