the parties continue…

the summer seems to be pretty jam packed with parties and all sorts of fun events as my inbox has been consistently receiving inquiries and requests for birthdays, parties and baby showers.  here are a few that started off the summer for me.

i received a special request for a garden bug theme birthday party in the style of my little invites.  the outcome was this little love bug invite that will shortly make its way to my etsy shop along with a couple new designs i’ve been working on.  (stay tuned for those!)

a lovely young lady contacted me after seeing my 30th themed cupcake toppers and wanted to do something special for her own 30th.  here are her flirty thirty cupcake toppers and matching thank you notecards.

to complete the minnie mouse themed birthday party invitations i designed, here is a look at a couple additional things i did to help bring in the theme to the event.

minnie mouse the “in a card” way

a client of mine asked me to create invitations for her daughter’s 3rd birthday party using a minnie mouse theme.  i wanted to put my own “in a card” twist to a very classic disney character.  this is what i came up with…

i’m am very happy with the end result because i was able to translate disney’s minnie mouse the “in a card” way…  simple, unique and super cute!

march madness

it sure has been madness around here!

the month is already half over and this is only my first blog entry for the month. reason being that i’ve been busy with tons of projects makes it all the better though. it’s been the end and start of catalog season for 2 of my clients, my etsy shops (inacard.etsy.com & simplewear.etsy.com) have remained consistent with orders and i’ve also had several custom requests for both invitations and onesies. before the month slips away, i want to make sure i share a few images from recent projects i’ve completed.

i had a request for the fun layered cupcake invitations i designed a while back. it was fun creating these special invitations once again.

i turned one of my new little invites into a big 5″x7″, which allowed for more information to be included on the invite.

my great aunt theresa recently turned 80 and i helped my cousin nadia create these fun party favors for each guest. theresa is known to be one of “the best” cooks in our family so it was such a clever idea to gift everyone with spices and a recipe of chicken satay, which calls for all 3 spices in the ingredients.

each spice was also marked with an image of theresa during different times of her life.

Chlo+E had a alex & wonderland themed bat mitzvah party, where once again their dessert table was nothing short of fabulous. besides the usual buffet tags and labels i normally design for them, they added some fun character cut-outs as well to the spread.

the girls recently launched their new website, so make sure to check them out!

a sweet 18

nickelodeon teen queen, victoria justice, recently turned 18 and the girls from Chlo+E totally out did themselves with a dessert, fruit AND candy table for her big birthday bash at Tru Hollywood.

here are a few pics Chlo+E shared with me and a few close-up shots of the buffet tags i designed for this fab event.

i played off of the fun sexy burlesque theme with a lace and fishnet design.

and here is a pic of the birthday girl herself, victoria justice
