CHUGGINGTON Birthday Invitation

Based on my own 4 year old man, I know little boys love trains. I am very pleased with how this Chuggington-inspired invitation turned out. It was originally designed for brothers with the same birthday, so if you have a similar situation or twins, let me know and I can show you how it looks for two kids.

The wording inside the "logo" can be whatever you wish: "Birthday", your child's name, your last name, etc. etc. Just let me know how to customize it for you!

I've added the "extras" available below. I can also work up some sort of pennant banner if you are interested. Notice I even added custom cupcake toppers with the cake type (other flavors also available). Email me to order.

BALL PIT Birthday Invitation

I've actually thought of having a party for my little guy using this theme, so I may have to recycle this invitation for myself!

These invitations were designed for a party to be held at a place called "My Gym". Although we don't have any in my area, after looking at the website, I came to the conclusion that a ball pit theme would be appropriate, colorful & cute.

The colors of the balls & letters are customizable as is the age. Just let me know what you want your invitation to include.

Here are the matching "extras" available. 

Flutterbug BABY SHOWER Invitations

After seeing my "Peek-a-Boo Monsters" invitations, I was commissioned to design some to coordinate with a bedding set by Kidsline called "Flutterbug". These cute little insects were fun to recreate and I love the soft pinks and purples, perfect for a little girl's room.

I've tried to include a variety of style options. Please refer to the invitation styles by number. #1-#3 are available in 4x6 and 5x7, while #4 is only available as a "monarch" size (same pricing as the 4x6).

Of course I have coordinating "extras" to match.

To order, all you need to do is email me the design of your choice, noting the size, all shower information and any special requests including color & wording changes. I'll also need to know the quantity needed and if you would like return address printing (12¢ per envelope), thank you card sets or stickers.

The whole project should take about a week from order to delivery. I ship using USPS Priority Mail and accept payments via PayPal and by digital check (you take a photo of the physical check and email me the JPEG).

Feel free to contact me for additional information.

Silver ASPEN Leaves Wedding Suite

This design stemmed from a request from my other Aspen leaves invitation suite.

This design uses a metallic "platinum" coverstock for the gatefold with a metallic "graphite" backer. The coverstock for the actual invitation itself can be bright white or natural.

The bride asked that we tie in her save the date card (that I did not design) that used a bark-like texture with the heart, so we added that on the band.

I will be adding pictures of the actual pieces as soon as I get them off my camera....

"ALEXIS" - Double Mounted Metallic Birth Announcement

Isn't she a beauty?!

These announcements turned out beautifully.  I love the metallic papers used for the image itself and the bronze backer.

The actual announcements are even fancier with a lace embellishment and gem. (I'll try to add a picture later.) This option is available, but I'll be honest and say that they took me forever to assemble with the embellishments...

40th Anniversary Celebration Invitation

My wonderful parents celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary in August of this year. However, I'm ashamed to say that this invitation was not designed for them....

I did keep them in mind while working on this "ruby" year celebration. I love patterns and textures and thought this was a sophisticated, yet modern way to celebrate a marriage of 4 decades.It also lends itself to be modified easily for other milestone years.

Pricing is for the 3.5 x 7.25 (actually closer to 7.5") sizing.

Email me to order.

Scooby-Doo BIRTHDAY

A "girly Scooby-Doo birthday invitation" was the request I received.

This was the end result. I'm pleased with how they turned out, even if they took me longer than I'd anticipated.

Here is a "boy" version of the A design. This one is actually for 2 boys, but I just wanted to show an example of the fonts and colors appropriate for a Scooby-loving little guy.

All 3 of these designs can be ordered at the 4x6 or 5x7 size. Pricing is to the right, based on quantity. I haven't designed any thank you cards or stickers at this point, but just let me know what you are looking for and I'm sure I can whip something up!

Please keep the length of your child's name in mind when you order a specific design (A, B, or C). Obviously "Stephanie" won't fit very well in the C design.

Corner ROSES 70th Birthday Invitation

I recently received a request for another milestone adult birthday...using pink and white. I can use any number you wish...not limited to 60 or 70th birthdays.

I actually pulled up an old image and reused it with a modern twist (Elegant 80th). I've worked it up in 2 different sizes and it can be used beautifully with a photo or without. (I would recommend using a black and white photo if you go with that option.)

Believe it or not, the return address printing is actually one of my favorite parts of the design. Although I normally love colored envelopes (because they stand out in the mail), the fancy printing really requires a pointed flap, available in white. I am happy to do return address printing with the colored envelopes too, but the layout would be different to accommodate the square flap.

The color scheme is easily customizable, so just let me know what you in have in mind.  Email me with questions or to order. Pricing is based on quantity and size and can be seen on the right side of this blog.

AUTUMN PECAN Save the Date Postcard

This project was a lot of fun to work on and I am very pleased with the final design.

The couple will marry at their Pecan orchard, so we worked to create a whimsical announcement with this imagery. I also love the subtle pecan leaf that adds an additional texture to the front and back of the postcard.

I will continue to work with the bride to complete the wedding suite with a classic, contemporary invitation design that uses copper and brown tones and hope to include the leaf cluster in these pieces.

Gingham Dragonfly — Bridal Brunch

I received a request for a less formal version of my brunch invitation already on the blog.

The venue is more casual: checkered tablecloths, mason jars for drinking glasses, etc.

The bride used a dragonfly on her save the dates and her wedding colors are poppy, gold and gray. I combined all of these elements to come up with a sophisticated, fun brunch invitation.

Email me to order this exact invitation or request special modifications to make it perfect for your needs.

STEMS Lawn & Garden Bridal Shower Invitation

I have another lawn and garden design on the blog, but this one was recently purchased and turned out beautifully. I am open to many color schemes, so just let me know what you have in mind.

Available in a 5x7 or a 4x6.

Supplementary "extras" like thank you notes, stickers, etc. are available upon request.

Email me to order.

Cute as a Button BIRTHDAY

I'm really pleased with how this custom birthday invitation turned out. Gemma's mom wanted to use a pink, blue, green & brown color scheme and I just so happened to have buttons in those very colors to embellish the invitations.

She is planning to use lots of different patterns at the party, so I created a plaid and used polka-dots to keep things light and airy.

I am happy to alter the color scheme to meet your needs and think this sweet invitation would look great in a variety of colors. It is available as a 5x7, 4x6 or the "monarch" size which is approximately 3.5 x 7.25 for pricing options. I am also option to unique wording for a different age. Just let me know what you want it to say!

There are many extras to choose from that match this design. The stickers shown are both "favor" stickers, but it is very easy to substitute an address to create adorable return address labels.

The pricing for these sized invitations is available at the right with a small fee for the buttons. That fee is based on the number if your order...probably 5-10¢ per invitation.

PAYMENT — Write me a check, send it electronically!

Today I discovered a new way to accept payment...quickly...and I am so excited!

If you do not wish to pay by PayPal, simply provide me with the correct shipping address, write a check and either scan it or snap a picture of it with your phone and email it to me! I can process the deposit electronically very quickly and easily. You save a stamp and I don't have to pay any PayPal fees!!

ASPEN LEAVES Wedding Suite

This is actually the most recent of my wedding designs that I need to catch up on posting.
The bride wanted a combination of fancy and earthy while using purples and aspen leaves. I created an image of branches with aspen leaves to use her color scheme (this can be altered to fit your needs) and we decided to combine a "fancy" metallic purple paper with a very earthy kraft coverstock. The paper choice is somewhat unexpected, but turned out really great and successfully merged a formal affair with the natural elements of Colorado.

This is a gatefold invitation and I am happy to design coordinating inserts as needed. The backed wrap holds everything together and fits into an A7 envelope.
In addition to the invitations, Kayla asked that I design a 11x14 seating chart, table number tents and a two-in-one program/menu (program on the front, menu on the back). All of the pieces turned out beautifully. Congratulations to K+R on their new marriage!

"CLAIRE" – Dusty Blue & Coral Birth Announcement

I was so thrilled to get to design an announcement for this precious baby girl! Her mom and dad are dear friends and we could not be more excited for their new addition.

The color scheme is modern and soft...coupled with an elegant script it is perfect for a little girl. The fonts can change easily to be fitting for a little lad as well.

Bulk pricing available for orders over 50. Requires a minimum 2 week turnaround for larger orders. Email me with questions or to place an order. I am happy to adjust photos in Photoshop, but you must have full rights to reproduce.
