i turned my 3 card casino invite into a single, more economical, version for a soon to be 21-year-old, hayley. i was able to fit all the party info on one card but still keep the small size of the invitation so it doesn’t lose it’s almost life like version of an actual playing card.
feel free to contact me if you are interested in purchasing these invitations.
i had a request recently for my “little love nest invitation” to be turned into a “we’re expecting” announcement. a quick horizontal layout adjustment and you’ve got these adorable little announcements…
my simplewear shop has been super busy lately. with mother’s day around the corner, i’ve had lots of requests for my “loved and spoiled by” onesie to help announce a new pregnancy. these onesies will surely surprise all the soon-to-be grandparents as well as the soon-to-be aunties and uncles.

i’ve even had a custom request for a “i heart grandma & grandpa” based on my “i heart mom” and “i heart dad” designs.
i love the little addition of “coming soon december 2012” on this onesie. it makes the onesie that much more custom and special.
this year, for my niece kayla’s 7th birthday party, she’s having an arts & crafts party. when my sister first came to me for invitation ideas, my mind was a complete blank. very unlike me when someone presents me with such a fun party idea.
i’m not sure if i was just over thinking the idea since every year i have this need to top past invitations that i’ve done for her. or perhaps, i’ve just been feeling a bit overwhelmed with my work load lately.
either way, i had to step back for a second and remind myself that simple is what makes my designs unique.
so here is how the arts & crafts party invitations turned out…
i created a fun and colorful paint splatter background, put all the info on a sheet of vellum paper as an overlay, and topped each invitation with a real paintbrush that each guest can keep and use.
different color paint brushes and envelopes were used to keep with the very colorful theme.
to see past invitations i’ve created for kayla, see the links below and let me know which one is your favorite so far.

i’ve known scott since i was in high school. he was a friend of my sisters and quickly became like a big brother to me. (he even left me with his nintendo game system and ALL his games when he left for college.) i reconnected with scott via facebook a couple years ago and in doing so, he discovered that i specialized in custom wedding invitations. when the time came, scott and his fiancé, lori, got in touch with me to create their wedding invitation.
scott & lori wanted wedding invitations that were simple, yet elegant and modern. i immediately knew my “wrapped up in love” invitations would be the perfect suggestion. this particular design has been customized and personalized a couple times over the past several years and each time it always looks like a brand new invitation design. i love how each design reflects the bride and groom along with how they envision their special day.
here is how scott & lori’s turned out…
i’ve been told that one of the favorite things about this invitation is how it’s all self-contained so when each guest opens their envelope it makes for a very clean and pretty presentation.
love the idea of this reply card that lori had!
the added insert is always great for giving your guests any additional information to make their travels that much easier. whether it’s directions to the church and/or reception or hotel suggestions for those out of town guests.
a wedding set is never complete without the thank you note. using just the couple’s names allows for any leftover thank you notes to be used for a later time.
