PUPPY Birthday Invitations

A feminine birthday invitation for dog-loving little girls.

I couldn't decide which invitation I preferred, so I decided to post both. The color scheme requested was pink, black and white but that is very customizable.

The "A" design features a Dalmation, but I can easily change out the silhouette for tons of different breeds. It is available in any of my 5x7 shapes  or as a 4x6 with rounded corners. It is shown in as a quatrefoil.

The "B" design has more restrictions because of the scalloped interior shape. The sketched dog shape must remain the same, but if you would like it in one of my shapes other than rounded corners, I can eliminate the border.

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.

Please specify if you prefer the A or B design. Return address printing, stickers, banners, thank you cards and any other printed pieces are available...just let me know what you have in mind!

IN THE POND Baby Shower Invitations

I was recently asked to create a custom "pond" shower invitation based on a bedding set by Carter's called "In the Pond". I drew my own versions of the characters based on images of the bedding and accessories I found online.

The text can easily be changed to meet the needs of your event. It is shown here as a 5x7 in the quatrefoil shape. Most of the shapes in the 5x7 will work beautifully, and it is also available as a standard 4x6 with rounded corners.

I am happy to create coordinating supplemental pieces. Just let me know what you have in mind.

CAMPOUT Birthday

CAMPOUT! So fun! The client wanted to use classic camping icons or signage on the invitation and I used rugged trees and a bold, distressed, display font to create an eye-catching design. The colors shown are bright & youthful, but can be dulled a bit for a more mature look.

My son and his friends (and a couple of dads) slept in a tent last summer for his 6th birthday. Now I really wish I had fully embraced the whole "camping" theme because there are a ton of great ideas on Pinterest under "campout birthday".

These invitations are a great start and set the tone for an amazing party!

Please EMAIL ME with questions.

I have now added the invitation to my NealonDesign Etsy store! If you are interested in any of the "extras" please include that in your message with invitation purchase and I'll set up a listing for you!

The sample shows the 5x7 invitation, colored "marigold" envelope, return address sticker and a 2" return address sticker. If you need additional pieces to fit this theme (thank you cards, banners, party signs, etc.) just let me know and I can design them for you!

TWINKLE STAR Birthday

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star is often one of the very first nursery rhymes or songs that we learn as kids. So, it is very fitting for a first birthday theme. It is easy to use star cookie cutters for sandwiches and hang a few Christmas lights from the ceiling. Voila, an adorable party!

I love the use of the popular color combination of pinks, gold, white and cream in this invitation. The gold is simply printed and is not a 3D glitter (though you could add that yourself). This was designed for a first birthday, but I think it would be equally adorable at any age! The colors can also be altered to meet your party vision.

This is one of the first designs I've created with all of my new dies in mind. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to showcase all of the options. I've shown the 5x7 using the quatrefoil shape, but I can just as easily keep it rounded (or any of the other shapes). The 5x7 allows for a colored envelope option ($.23 each) and the flap of the envelope holds the return address just beautifully ($.20 per envelope).

I also wanted to show the same design using the "curvy monarch" size. I love that the name fits perfectly in the center, just where the invitation bumps out. The curves make it extra special, but the cost is still low! The sets come with white envelopes. I can print the return address on the back flap or am happy to design adorable address stickers at your request.

This last image shows the size options together. They are all to scale.

ALEXANDRA Wedding Suite

This invitation is LONG overdue. You'll notice the date is from 2011...oops.

It has classic lines and a very sophisticated type. The simple black and white coloring is timeless and I love the nested cards (RSVP, timeline, and response envelope) fitting into the graphite colored pocket card (on the reverse side of the invitation).

The program is also beautiful with 2 layers, tied together with the same graphite colored backer and black ribbon. The ceremony information is listed on the first page and then on the second page, there is plenty of room to list a large wedding party, including a little bit about the people chosen to be a part of the special day.

LACE & DOTS First Communion Invitation

This is a beautiful first communion invitation. It is fancy and sophisticated with a subtle, youthful polka dot background.

The colors are completely adjustable, yet stunning in bright white and navy.

PETER PAN Birthday

This invitation design was inspired by my Pirates & Mermaids design.
I altered the colors to create a nighttime scene, added iconic character silhouettes and the birthday year to the mast of the ship.

The design is shown as a 5x7 with double rounded corners. Though it is not shown in the monarch size, it should work that way as well. Click here to view the baby shower version that shows a similar design cropped into the curvy monarch shape.

To order, simply email me all of the specifics for your event, as well as the size/shape preferred and total quantity needed.

I am happy to work up thank you cards, stickers, etc at your request.

PETER PAN Baby Shower Invitation

I recently designed a birthday invitation in the Peter Pan theme, and I thought it would be adorable for a baby shower too. I love the silhouettes of Peter Pan, the Darling children, Tinkerbell and the London skyline as well as the famous JM Barrie quote.

I've designed the invitation as a 5x7 or "monarch". (It can also be a 4x6 with rounded corners.) It is shown here as a 5x7 with rounded corners and as a curvy monarch. The shaped designs are the same price as the standard straight cuts.

This design would also work as a wedding shower invitation for Disney enthusiasts. HERE is a link to the birthday invitation design. If you prefer using the London skyline and less of a pirate theme, I am happy to send you a birthday version of this design.

Please EMAIL ME to place an order or if you have any questions about this design.

CUSTOM Communion-Baptism invitation

This mom thought of this moment even before her second daughter was born, "Molly & Maeve" just sounds so cute together. This combination event definitely called for a custom invitation to fit both events and both names beautifully together.

If you love this invitation, but need it altered for your needs (one event, one child, etc.), just let me know and I can make modifications.

If you are in need of a special custom project too, this is just a sample of what can be done!

Growth Studios — LOGO Design

Creating a professional LOGO & promotions package sets the tone for your business.

This was a 2014 project that I am just now adding to the blog. It was great collaborating with Lindsey to create an effective, eye-catching logo for her new business. The logo was then incorporated into two different styles of business cards and unique resume or cv (curriculum vitae) that graphically and typographically represented her career experience.
I have designed my own resumé, but this was the first I've designed for someone in a non-arts field. The importance of the visual design of a resumé is often overlooked, but of utmost importance. This single sheet of paper is the VERY first impression that someone has of you or your business. It should help you stand out and promote YOU from the start. This version was designed to be handed out or downloaded from the internet from the Growth Studios website.

Abby Jayne Photography — MARKETING CARDS

This talented friend and photographer did a great job on our family photos this fall and has really grown her hobby into a full business, in addition to her full time job as a surgical Physicial Assistant, and a mommy to two little ones. I seriously don't know when she sleeps!

These marketing cards highlight seniors in high school specifically, hoping to boost her location shoots...beach and urban settings. I used her existing logo and combined some of her favorite senior images to create an effective marketing tool. She does an amazing job and the CD of edited images is always included in the investment price! What a deal!

BLACK DAMASK wedding suite

Black and white is a classic combination that exudes elegance and grace with a graphic punch. I love working in black and white.

These invitations printed so beautifully. The front is a solid black with crisp, white text and a very graphic, full bleed, damask pattern printed on the back. Even though this is a double-sided design, the cost is very low because there is only one print color: black.

The response card is also simple and elegant, but carries a bit of the pattern onto the design.

As shown, these invitations cost only $1.80 per set!

I recently completed the programs in this design as well as table seating tents and some really cute printables that are a steal at only $5 each!
