BEER birthday invitation

I was so excited to work on this fun "beer" themed birthday party.

There were several options that I really liked in the batch of designs that I presented to the client, but this was my favorite (I love when that happens).

I have lots of favorite parts about this invitation...the bubbles in the beer, the chalkboard texture, and the combination of fonts...but my most favorite is the "Quality Since 1975". It is subtle and a great tribute to an old man! ;)

I just added the listing to my NealonDesign Etsy store. Click HERE to purchase the digital file or printed invitation sets!

Don't hesitate to email me if you have any other questions!

Bridal Shower finishing touches

I had so much fun designing several finishing touches for a very fancy bridal shower this weekend. These girls thought of everything to make the shower for their friend such a special occasion.

I designed a 24x36 "chalkboard" drink menu (it was actually just printed, but designed to look like a chalkboard...I can do actual chalkboards, too...but shipping is tricky) with the 4 beverages being served at the shower.


Each guest was also given a stemless wine glass with "hello gorgeous" in gold.

Also (not pictured) are 9 custom table signs that included things that the bride-to-be's fiancé loves about her. I formatted each saying on a 5x7 or 8x10 and then foiled them in gold or light pink. They were framed and placed around the shower for as completely personalized shower decor.

Let me know if I can help make a shower or party you are working on extra special, too!

BUTTERFLY Birthday!

I received a request for an invitation with mainly purple and butterflies for a very special almost 5 year old girl!

I've decided to post 2 options that I provided because they are so different.

The WATERCOLOR BUTTERFLY invitation design is shown as a 5x7 with rounded corners. The colors cannot be altered in this design, but the age is easily modified and is also available in the 4x6 size with rounded corners. The sets come with white envelopes, but colored envelopes are available for the 5x7 size. The watercolor vector was designed by Freepik.

BUTTERFLY SILHOUETTES is shown as a 5x7 in the quatrefoil shape. I can adjust the colors to whatever you have in mind to match your party color scheme. Colored envelopes also available in the 5x7 size only. This invitation can be ordered as a 4x6 with rounded corners, not in the quatrefoil shape.

Please EMAIL ME with questions or to place an order. Please specify which design you prefer. You may simply write out the details or your order or you can download the fillable order form and send it back to me via email. My pricing is available on the far right side of the blog or you may view it here.

"ETHAN" birth announcement

I love the neutral colors in the photos and the design. It has a modern, classic and clean feel. The overall composition also uses my favorite photo elements...a solo shot of the baby on the front with family and sibling pictures on the back. What a beautiful family!

For more information or to place an order, please look at this listing on my NealonDesign Etsy shop! Click HERE to go directly to this listing.

You can also EMAIL ME with questions.

"RIDGE" birth announcement

Sleeping babies are absolutely the most peaceful things on earth. This little one knows how to get comfortable and his big sister looks like an amazing helper too!

You can purchase this design in my NealonDesign Etsy shop now! If you would like to add a back side to the design like you see above, please email me or send me an Etsy message! Thanks!

"TUCKER" birth announcement

Tucker is an absolute doll. I designed John Deere shower announcements that coordinated with his room, so it only made sense to subtly tie the announcement design in as well. I love the combination of black and white and color photos.

The verse is printed on the back.

This design is available as a 4x6 or a 5x7.

Bulk pricing is available for orders of 75 or more (increments of 25). Turnaround time for bulk orders is roughly a total of 2 weeks.

Custom designed birth announcements require additional design time.

Please EMAIL ME with questions or to place an order.

SWEET TO THE CORE birthday invitation

Can I go to this party??

The birthday girl's mom was pretty specific about wanting black/white stripes, gold-glitter (printed) pineapples, hot pink, green, & yellow with the cute little saying she provided. She also sent me a few photos of the pineapple shaped drinks that she ordered and the overall color scheme.  I love how it turned out!

The invitation shown is a 5x7 with rounded corners. I'm happy to design address stickers or return address printing and am happy to whip up additional "extras" at your request. The invitation is also available as a 4x6 single or double-sided. The sets come with white envelopes, but pink or black envelopes are available only in the 5x7 size.

Please EMAIL ME with questions or to place an order. You may simply write out the details or your order or you can download the fillable order form and send it back to me via email. My pricing is available on the far right side of the blog or you may view it here.

Electric Materials Company 100th Anniversary

I was asked to design an anniversary invitation for the Electric Materials Company celebrating an impressive 100 years. The client liked my family tree anniversary design with the gold gatefold, so I used that as a base and whipped something up just for them. My understanding is that the company began by supplying materials for trolleys..specifically copper. In previous anniversaries, they used the "It all began with the trolley" line, so I wanted to use it again for the big anniversary.

I used a metallic copper coverstock for the gatefold card. The quote is on one flap and the vintage trolley image is on other and wraps onto the back. The interior panel is a 4x6 with black text. The gatefold holds a 4x6 postcard printed in color with the logo (I did not design the logo) and the same logo is used on a wrap to hold everything together.

Overall, I am really pleased with how the invitations turned out. The committee was great to work with and I wish them all the best with their upcoming event!

PRINTS — digital

This is the second half to my new venture into the world of creating prints/home decor. My designs are currently being sold in a couple of boutiques and I thought I'd offer them directly to my online customers as well. If you are interested in any of the prints, I am happy to have them professionally printed and shipped to you. The 5x7, 5x5 or 4x10 designs are $7.00 each and the 8x10s are $10.00 each. Buy 4 or more and the shipping is free! EMAIL ME to order or ask questions.

If you would like an instant download to print the designs yourself, I have set up an Etsy store for your buying convenience! (www.etsy.com/shop/NealonDesign) For $5, you get the digital files in a 5x7 and 8x10 size set up for cardstock printing (pdf) or photo style printing (jpeg).

I intend to keep all of my print designs in this post, so check back to find new designs! Additionally, if you have a favorite quote or phrase that you would like a custom design for, let me know! These styles of prints are perfect for a nursery, child's room or a gallery wall! If one of my boutiques wants to purchase the print, you won't even pay a design fee for your custom work! I can also provide larger print sizes at your request.

FOIL PRINTS

I was recently asked to create custom prints to sell in boutiques. Gallery walls and framable home decor are very much in style. Artfully crafted words of inspiration or humor could be just what you need! These prints also make amazing gifts! My friends specifically wanted customary digital prints as well as foiled prints....so through much trial and error, I've taught myself how to foil and the results are amazing!


Each print handmade, sold individually and is packaged with a backer board in a plastic sleeve for safe, first class mail shipping. Shipping is only $2.00. Wholesale pricing is available for those looking to resell my work. (I am working on a line item order form for wholesalers.)

If you would like to place an order, please EMAIL ME with the design you would like, size, and foil color. I will send you an invoice and a request for payment from PayPal (account not required) and your print will ship within 3 business days...even faster if I have it in stock and ready to go!

I will be adding additional designs soon! If you have a specific design request that you'd like me to work up, let me know!!

ONESIE baby shower invitations

I received a request for custom shaped invitations shortly after I purchased my newest design toy, a Silhouette Cameo. I was able to accurately cut out these custom invitations easily. It obviously took a bit longer because each one was cut electronically, but I was very pleased with how they turned out!

Because the cutting requires more time and tools, please add $.25 to the cost of each invitation set. My pricing is available on the far right side of the blog or you may view it here.

The size is a 5x7, fitting into an A7 envelope. I have shown a boy and girl option, but the colors and icons are completely customizable, so please let me know what you have in mind! I also designed diaper raffle cards and book plates for this particular order, so if you have additional design needs, just let me know!

Please EMAIL ME with questions or to place an order. You may simply write out the details or your order or you can download the fillable order form and send it back to me via email.


Dr. Seuss THING ONE & THING TWO Birthday

If children have birthdays close together in the year, sometimes it is easier and cost effective to throw a double party. Invitations are not always easy to find, so I whipped up something special for this dynamic duo and they turned out really cute!

The invitation shown is a 5x7 with rounded corners and shows the two sided printing with the girls' photo on the back. I've already designed return address stickers (shown), and am happy to whip up additional "extras" at your request. The invitation is also available as a 4x6 single or double-sided. The sets come with white envelopes, but a red envelope is an optional upgrade available only in the 5x7 size.

Please EMAIL ME with questions or to place an order. You may simply write out the details or your order or you can download the fillable order form and send it back to me via email. My pricing is available on the far right side of the blog or you may view it here.

CLASSIC CAR Birthday

I get far more requests for children's birthday invitations, so this one was a nice change. There was a lot of text that needed to be included, so I tried to keep it simple and organized and draw the most attention to the honoree's name and the classic Stingray car.

The sample shown is a double-sided 5x7 with a simple black and white checkerboard pattern on the back. The design is available single-sided, as a 4x6, or a digital file.

I am happy to work up additional "extras", just let me know what you have in mind!

Please EMAIL ME with questions or to place an order. You may simply write out the details or your order or you can download the fillable order form and send it back to me via email. My pricing is available on the far right side of the blog or you may view it here.

HARRY POTTER / QUIDDITCH Birthday

I have been so busy (I need to add a whole new section to the blog for PRINTS), but I just had to add this latest invitation. I'm a Harry Potter lover myself and I love how this invitation turned out. The birthday boy wants to play Quidditch at the party. I'm not exactly sure how that works without a little magic, but I was up to create an invite for the occassion.

I've adorned this one with classic Gryffindor colors and the invitation is a 5x7 with notched corners.

I am happy to work up additional "extras", just let me know what you have in mind!

Please EMAIL ME with questions or to place an order. You may simply write out the details or your order or you can download the fillable order form and send it back to me via email. My pricing is available on the far right side of the blog or you may view it here.

Bulk pricing is available for orders of 75 or more (increments of 25). Turnaround time for bulk orders is roughly a total of 2 weeks.

Custom designed birth announcements require additional design time.

Please EMAIL ME with questions or to place an order.
