AUF WIEDERSEHEN Change of Address

These 4x6 postcards are a great way to let friends and family know your new address. The address shown is not accurate for this sweet family. The style would work with most photos and phrases, even something as simple as "We've Moved" on the front would be great (in case you don't have awesome lederhosen outfits and aren't moving from Germany).

The new address is listed large on the back and serves as the return address also in the event that any cards are returned. The printing of these postcards is outsourced for the highest durability and only requires postcard rate stamps.

EMAIL ME with questions or to place an order!!

Chalkboard {wedding} Save-the-Date

A beautiful couple, and idea.

The newly engaged couple held a framed chalkboard during their engagement photo session.

I dressed up the look a bit by using an additional chalkboard texture and appropriate fonts. The concept is carried over onto the back seamlessly. The couple will use light (silver or white) ink/paint to address the postcards and can take advantage of the reduced postcard-rate postage on these 4x6 cards.

CODY — Grungy Graduation

I love the grungy, urban style that is popular with today's high school seniors.

This is a 4 x 6, double sided postcard with a high gloss front coating and matte finish on the back for easy addressing. This size and style allows for low cost printing (no expense of an envelope) and lower cost postage (postcard stamp instead of a first class stamp). Of course this style could be applied to different sizes as well.

Nest • Change of Address / Moving POSTCARDS


Keep costs down by sending out postcards to let your friends and family know you've moved. These very economical 4 x 6 postcards are printed on 100#, tropical green coverstock in black only. They are double sided with lines for easy addressing.

Don't forget postage is only 28¢ too! (not preprinted...must add postcard stamp)

Fall / Halloween (Block) Party Invitation

I am so blessed to live in a ridiculously fabulous neighborhood. This is the 3rd year for this annual party and it is always so much fun! I am on the social committee this year and was happy to design the invitation for digital distribution. I also designed a postcard (very small print run) to have on hand at our annual association meeting also held in October.

The front of the postcard is also used as the Facebook event icon. I am happy to provide low resolution files for this purpose for any event. Just let me know!

TRAVIS — Modern Graduation

Wow, I have a lot I need to add....I've been very busy and I'm afraid blog postings have not had the highest priority.

I was in Staples the other day and a heard a very nice lady inquiring about graduation open house invitations for her son. Staples does not have an in-house design team, but they will send it out to their "team" that will toss whatever picture you have and the information you want to include into a template. I have seen some of these. (if I don't have anything nice to say, say nothing at all...)

So, I discretely told her that I was a designer and I could whip up something for her pretty quick. I don't know her and she has never seen my work, but for whatever reason, she trusted me and handed me her flash drive and jotted down some information on the back of a Staples scrap sheet of paper.

Well, this is the finished product (address changed). It is a double sided postcard. Their return addrss is printed on the back side as well as some faint lines for easy addressing. The 130# coverstock is super thick with a matte finish. They will mail beautifully. I'm very pleased with how it turned out and according to his mom, Travis really likes it too. Doesn't he look like a heart-breaker!!
Anyway, it is amazing how God will bring people into your path.

USAFA - Class of 2001 Reunion SAVE-THE-DATE

I am very proud that my husband is a member of this prestigious class. It was my honor to offer design services for the 10-year reunion that I am excited to attend as a spouse.

Hopefully these save the date postcards will help encourage many classmates to attend.

ALEX — Textured Band Graduation

I was contacted to design these graduation postcards upon receiving the ones I designed for Nathan Paytosh's graduation. She wanted something similar....full bleed front and nothing too themed, just classic. I lowered the color saturation of the image to create a more muted look. This is an alternative to black and white or sepia and still allows for a little pop of color.

A Tiger 10-Year Reunion

Isn't a save-the-date postcard for a high school reunion an excellent idea? Hopefully these spirited tiger cards will increase the awareness and turnout for this Virginia high school. I had such fun designing these postcards with a front gloss coating. The back side is uncoated so an address label and reduced priced postcard stamp will adhere beautifully!
