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!!
