LACE Save-the-Date POSTCARDS

I am so excited about these save-the-date postcards and I can't wait to see how the invitation suites come together! I am not a huge lacey person, but I LOVE how this lace is subtly combined with a modern script and bold, engravers-style font. I intend to carry over the subtle use of the lace onto the invitation design as well. I always try to create a common theme within all of the pieces of the wedding package.

These economical, double-sided postcards are 4x6 in size, allowing a postcard-rate stamp. The front will be coated in a high gloss covering for additional durability during mailing. The back will remain uncoated for easy addressing. I've even added very faint lines to aid the addressing process.

Stay tuned for additional pieces within this suite!

Polka-Dot Cupcake Birthday Invitations

Have I mentioned that cupcakes are popular?

I got a recent request: 1st birthday, black and white polka-dots with dark pink, cupcake & a picture.

I provided quite a few options, but this is the design that was chosen. I love the colors, subtle black and white picture and the fact that I got to use one of my new fonts!

I am happy to play around with the color scheme to fit your needs. I'm testing out something new by adding the pricing to the image....we'll see how it goes! I also think it would be an easy change to make this for a bigger girl birthday....just change out the number! I even think this would be very cute for a sweet 16?!
There are also lots of "extras" to make the invitations suite complete! You can order thank you card sets at the same time as the invitations, or wait and use an image of the birthday girl with cake all over her face! There is no additional design fee for any of the extra pieces. The fold-over thank you card and return address wrap is also available in white.

BRIGHT Holiday Card

Sometimes one has to be very politically correct and simply send out a winter or holiday card....as opposed to a card highlighting a specific religious holiday. Although it makes me a little sad that some card recipients look passed the intention of the card; a greeting, and take offense, this bright, cheerful, politically correct holiday card does make me happy.

4 x 6, double sided (back not shown here....same snowflake pattern with sender's contact information)

high gloss finish, rounded corners
Sour apple A6 envelopes with return address printing

I have other politically correct designs available as well. Email me to see options.

Gingerbread House {Decorating} Party Invitation

"Gingerbread Mousse"

Isn't this a cute idea for a party?!

I had a lot of fun creating these design compositions for a fun, youthful, festive holiday party for little ones (and their moms, too!) The first is the design that was chosen, complete with super cute return address wrap stickers and festive, red envelopes in the traditional Christmas color scheme.

I really liked this one too, so I thought I would add it as well. It uses more of a candy color scheme and I love the red/light blue combination with the fun font, called Delight Script. Thus the name of this one is "Gingerbread Delight".

I'm sure the party will be a blast.....I'll be decorating a house with my little guy for the first time this year, too. :)

A Fabulous Couple

I had the pleasure of photographing this fabulous couple last year for their holiday card and they asked me to help out once again this year. We had a lot of fun walking around our little downtown area and were able to get quite a few great pictures.

This is still definitely a "just for fun" aspect of my little business, but let me know if you are local and would like me to snap a few pictures of you and your family. :)

Birthday CUPCAKE

Cupcakes are big at little kid birthdays. Cute. Easy. No cutting. Portion control. :)

This invitation was designed for a first birthday, but I think it would also be cute for a bigger kid as well....just send me the wording you'd like to use. Both a boy and girl version is shown above.

Colors are completely customizable.

Roses 70th BIRTHDAY

 I design invitations for many children's parties, but I think adults should get the same special treatment....especially older adults hitting milestone birthdays!

I love roses and I love line art. The color of the roses in this design are completely customizable. There are also 3 paper color choices: white, natural, and a fancy "metallic white". Use the same colored envelope or pull out an accent color like the gumdrop green in the sample above.

I really want to expand my selection of adult birthday invitations, so let me know if you need to plan something special and what you have in mind. I would love to create something custom just for you!

Bridal Brunch — Wedding SHOWER

Bridal Brunch (Monogram) — Wedding Shower

I've been doing a lot of "cute" stuff recently, so this "fancy" invitation was a fun departure.

I'm sure there are casual brunches all over the place, but when I think of a "bridal brunch" shower I am reminded of fancy serving pieces, little tea cakes, finger sandwiches and ladies in pretty dresses drinking delicately out of tea cups. :) I may be way off, but that is what I think of when I hear "bridal brunch".

Using the brides wedding colors of silver and blue, I came up with several designs with a little bit of glam. This was the design chosen. To make it even a little bit more special, the invitations are printed on a 110 lb. metallic white coverstock with a coordinating, designed metallic envelope.

This invitation is easily customizable to fit your color scheme and is sure to make any bride feel special.

Bridal Brunch (Teapot) — Wedding Shower

I don't usually post images of designs that were not chosen. However, I just love this one and hope that you do, too. There is a subtle toile pattern in the background and a vintage, antique, teapot at the top...perfect for a morning brunch. I also think that this invitation could be manipulated for a generic brunch invitation.

Of course I altered the colors (from the original blue/silver) and I can change them to whatever you wish to fit your needs.

If you would like to order either of these invitations, email me and specify which design you prefer: Teapot or Monogram.

Thanks!

"GIA" — Subtle Zebra Birth Announcement

"GIA"

Double-sided 5x7. Also available in a 4x6 or 4.25x5.5.

I designed this custom invitation for good friends.  She provided a variety of photos and the instructions of "purple and green". I took it from there. I gave her several designs to choose from and she gravitated to the zebra print. With a few modifications, this is the end result. :)

I am happy to customize this design just for you or come up with something unique and special just for your little one. :) Email me for more information!

Pink Tink - Fairy Birthday

3.5 x 8.5 with a white #9 envelope.

Little girls love princesses, fairies, and PINK.

I altered Tinkerbell's traditional coloring to go with this pink design with fun fonts and patterns your little girl is sure to love. The number of balloons can change based on your child's age. The fun patterns open many doors for fun party decorating! I can also make "Tink's" hair brown, if your little girl is a brunette.

Divas & Dudes BIRTHDAY

A cute idea for a young boy/girl party.

The "divas" arrive early to get all dolled up and then the "dudes" come a bit later for a lot of fun!

The client specifically requested using pink and black as well as a zebra print. I think it turned out very cute and we tied in the guys with a silhouette and a punch of electric blue.

These are an economical 4x6 size with matching pink envelopes.

Email me for customization options or to order!

Peek-a-Boo Paintings BUSINESS CARDS

My extremely talented friend asked me to update her logo and design some business cards for her prosperous custom painting business.

She has a love for, and uses a lot of polka dots in her designs. It was only fitting to incorporate this pattern into her new design. I also used youthful fonts because the majority of her work is for young children.

Please check out her work on etsy and order today! You'll see the etsy banner I designed for her when you click on the link to her site!

Classic Minnie Mouse BIRTHDAY

I watch quite a bit of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (with my 3 year old little boy). It should be no surprise that these classic characters inspire birthday parties for many little ones. I love patterns, bold colors and kid-friendly fonts, so I'm very pleased with how these turned out.

These classic, red & black, Minnie Mouse invitations are 4 x 6, double sided, flat card sets. They are available on a heavy matte coverstock, semi-gloss/satin finish, or high gloss. (Allow additional time for the satin or gloss options.)

I think it is a fabulous idea to include a full size, frameable photo on the back of the invitation.  The 4 x 6 size (also available as a 5x7) is perfect for this option and is a true treasure and keepsake for family and friends even before the party begins!

This design can be customized by color changes, various ages and even a vertical option (if you want to match the orientation of your photo). It is also available as a single sided flat card set with only one side of printing.

Another Minnie design.

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)

Fishing Birthday Party Invitation

I'm not asked very often to design birthday invitations for older kids, so I had a lot of fun working on this project! I think a fishing birthday party is a huge memory-maker and a fabulous idea. I decided to go for a rustic, outdoorsy look and used silhouetted images I found or created and pieced together.

Can you find the subtle number in the invitation? I thought it was appropriate to keep it a little more low key for a big kid.

As you can see, I've paired this invitation with a light natural colored, A7, euroflap envelope.

Coordinating, custom thank you cards are also available.
