reuse, recycle

when i designed my 30th birthday invitations last year, i knew i wanted to turn the same design into milestone greeting cards. and so i’ve finally gotten around to reusing and recycling the art deco inspired design into 30th, 40th and 50th birthday specific greeting cards now available for purchase at my Etsy shop.

little cupcake’s complete set

an Etsy customer recently requested matching thank you notes to go with the little cupcake invitations. so i decided to just complete the whole set by creating some little cupcake seals as well.

here is what the complete set looks like…

all available for purchase at my etsy shop, inacard.etsy.com.

i even have the matching little cupcake onesie/t-shirts available at simplewear.etsy.com.

luck be a lady

when debra came to me for custom invitations, for her casino night themed 30th birthday party, i could hardly contain my excitement. i always love the opportunity to design for a themed party and since i hadn’t done a casino night before, the ideas started running like crazy in my head.

here is what i came up with…

i hope these invitations make all of debra’s guests smile and cry tears of joy, just like the birthday girl did the first time i showed her this design.

happy birthday to me

here is how my finished birthday cupcakes turned out.

raspberry filled chocolate cupcakes decorated with chocolate frosting, a fresh raspberry and my custom cupcake topper.

and here’s me taking a bite out of 30!

you know that saying, if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em?  well i’ve decided i’m going to embrace 30 and all that it has waiting for me.  after all, 30’s is the new 20’s!
