This is a very economical option at only $.95 per set. That price includes the green envelope and the return address printing on the back flap!

EASTER Birthday

I think having an egg hunt for a birthday party is such a cute idea!

The client wanted to use bright colors and nothing too cutsie. I'm actually including two of the designs because I just couldn't decide which one I preferred.

I am happy to alter the color scheme and change wording as needed. The nest design would also be really cute for a baby shower.

Each design comes in a 5x7 or a 4x6 (please specify which design and your size preference when ordering via email). Each set comes with white envelopes. Colored envelopes are available for the 5x7 size in many different coordinating colors for $.23 each.

All of my invitations are printed on #100 coverstock (unless otherwise noted). Orders under 100 ship in less than a week.

Please EMAIL ME with questions or to place an order. All pricing is based on size and quantity and is on the far right side of the blog (web version).

BUBBLE GUPPIES Birthday Invitations

Bubble Guppies. I'll have to check out this show on Nickelodeon because somehow I've missed out so far! I love the bright colors and fun characters. I played around with lots of "bubble" fonts and backgrounds, but this is the design that won.

At your request, I can add a photo of the birthday child in a large "bubble".

I am happy to work up return address printing, flat or fold-over thank you cards, stickers or anything else that you can dream up that you'd like printed.

EMAIL ME to order or with inquiries. Please specify your size preference (4x6 or 5x7). Pricing is based on size and quantity, visible on the far right of the web version of the blog. I always provide proofs & get full approval before printing.

Thank you for your interest!
An upgraded, yellow envelope is shown in the proof. Many other colors are also available. White envelopes are included.

Vintage SUPERHERO Birthday Invitation

It is no news that the vintage look is "in". This invitation has lots of layers and a retro, comic book vibe. It is challenging to put lots of superheroes into one layout without it looking overcrowded or forced. This was my solution...and perhaps Spiderman just swung off the page, because his web is still there! (this design is also available with any single superhero, including Spiderman)

I fell in love with the 50s/60s retro frame and any child's name would look really cute. Any age is easy to personalize and there is plenty of space for event details.

I am happy to work up return address printing, flat or fold-over thank you cards, stickers or anything else that you can dream up that you'd like printed.

EMAIL ME to order or with inquiries. Please specify your size preference (4x6 or 5x7). Pricing is based on size and quantity, visible on the far right of the web version of the blog. I always provide proofs & get full approval before printing.

Thank you for your interest!

Twisted Root Marketing — LOGO design

This logo (from 2013) was a lot of fun, but also very challenging. With a name like "Twisted Root" there is a difficult balance to create graphic representation of growth without showing an entire tree, that makes it look like more of a landscaping company. Using only roots or roots with a couple of branches makes it look like a dead plant...also not the goal.

I'm pleased with the finished product and am showing a couple of the logo variations for multiple uses.

Marbella Promotions — LOGO design

There is a lot of personal history behind the name and meaning of this new promotion company, specializing in embroidery, heat transfer and custom apparel.

"Marbella" means African Daisy. The business owners wanted to use the orange/yellow colors of the African flower and for the logo to be professional with a creative/design touch.

I've shown the finished logo design as well as one business card option and a square icon for social media.

ART DECO (Gatsby) Save-the-Date

The bride and groom are planning a vintage glam/Gatsby inspired wedding using black, white, and gold, plus the sparkle and shimmer that comes with an F. Scott Fitzgerald novel! She sent me the Fitzgerald quote to use on the front and I found art-deco patterns and coordinating friendly, yet fancy fonts to create a glamorous save-the-date. The gold glitter is a printed background texture.

These are very economical at only $.95 each when ordering over 100 in increments of 25 (requires at least a week and a half lead time).

I'm excited to work on the actual wedding invitations in the near future!

MONOGRAMMED Filigree Wedding Suite

This invitation design featuring the couple's monogram and filigree design detials turned out to be a simple, elegant invitation suite with maximum impact.

The colors are all customizable to be exactly what you need (really pastel colors do not work well).

Inner/Outer envelopes are also available as well as any other inserts that you may need to include in the suite.

EMAIL ME for pricing, questions or to place an order. This panel design is the most economical and the suite as shown (minus the sticker) is only $2.23 per set when ordering 50 or more. (printed on white #100 coverstock)

OLD MACDONALD Farm Birthday Invitation

I included the lyrics of "Old MacDonald" as a background texture and used colorful animals.

This poem is fitting for a 3 year old, but I can also use the "Quack, Moo, Cock-a-doodle-doo... ——— is turning 2" in this layout.

I personally think this would be cute for a boy or a girl, but I can also adjust colors of fonts for a more feminine look at your request.

This is another variation on a farm/petting zoo birthday invitation I designed last year.

JACANA Baby Shower Invitations

In late 2013, I was asked to design a baby shower invitation to coordinate with the JACANA bedding collection by Cocalo. I drew out my own versions of the little characters and this was the selected design.

I love the playful fonts and sophisticated, yet baby-friendly color combination.

It is available as a 4x6 or a 5x7. Return address printing is optional and $.20 each. The sets come with white envelopes, but lavender envelopes are available for the 5x7 size for $.23 each.

I can come up with stickers, thank you cards, banners, etc. Just say the word.

MINION Birthday Invitations


My oldest son (5 years old) loves Despicable Me and Despicable Me 2 (but he is afraid of the purple minions)!

I wasn't surprised to get a request for a "Minion Birthday" design, but specifically for a little girl. I came up with several options and decided that a "boy" version would be cute too.

These are the economical, Monarch size and come with white envelopes. Custom return address printing is available ($.20 per envelope) and I can come up with stickers, thank you cards, banners, etc. Just say the word.

WESTERN BANDANA Baby Shower Invitation

 

My Western Baby Shower invitation is one of my most popular designs. I was recently commissioned to come up with a more girly western option. I found a bandana design that uses hearts and just fell in love with it. Combined with some feminine cowboy boots, I think this new design is kickin' it!

The client actually went with a darker pink (fine by me) but I decided to show it here in a baby, pale pink here. I am open to color changes if you have something else in mind. The fonts are a bit more soft, keeping with a western flare.

The set comes with white envelopes, but I also think it would be adorable to use kraft (think butcher paper) envelopes instead. The additional cost is $.23 per envelope. I can also do return address printing ($.20 each) or stickers at your request for no additional design fee. Thank you cards (flat and fold-over) are also available.

Of course I didn't want to leave all the little cowboys out, so I altered the design a bit for the boys too. (shown above in a 5x7 with red envelopes)

If you have questions or you would like to place an order, please EMAIL ME and specify if you prefer the 4x6 or 5x7 and if you would like the girl or boy design.

Martinis & Monograms — Bridal Shower

Due to the popularity of my Monograms & Mimosas and Monograms & Margaritas designs, I was asked to design one for Martinis....why not?! :)

The structure of the design is very similar to the Margarita design, but I love how "honoring" fits in the space at the top of the glass.

Just like the other designs, the colors are completely customizable. I feel like martinis lend themselves to a darker, nightclub kind of feel and I think black would look awesome!

The optional monogram information insert is $.45 per card. This information can also be printed on the back of the card, making it double-sided. If you prefer not to include the monogram information, I can easily add registration information to the invitation itself.

Return address printing is an extra $.20 per envelope.

Please EMAIL ME with questions or to place an order!

HELLO KITTY Birthday Invitation

Hello Kitty is a classic, timeless character loved by many.

I designed this colorful, cheerful invitation with little girls in mind. The layout allows for easy customization and the age of the child goes right into the kitty's bow.

The invitations are available as a 5x7 or 4x6 with pricing on the far right side of the blog. Colored envelopes are available for the 5x7 only. I've shown a sample of a return address sticker here in the 2 inch circle size. I also have flat and fold-over thank you cards that I can send at your request. Return address printing is also available if you prefer that over the stickers.

Please EMAIL ME with questions or to place an order.
