support japan

my best girlfriend and favorite jeweler, april kawaoka, has created these amazing tribute pieces to support the relief efforts in japan from the march 2011 earthquake and tsunami disasters. half of the sales to these pieces will go to the american red cross to help aid japan.  visit her blog post for more information and details.

please visit april’s Etsy shop, aprilkawaoka.etsy.com, to make your purchase and help support japan.

like i’ve said before, i believe that a kind heart will inspire many more.

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!

more quotable cards

i got such great response to my quotable cards this year, i decided to add to the line.  8 new ones to be exact, which you can find on my Etsy shop.

here’s a preview of a couple of them…

Quote No. 18 by in a card on Etsy

i got a request a couple weeks ago from a customer that wanted a specific quote on a card that she wanted to send to a few friends.  well that quote made it to Quote No. 16 of my quotable card line.

feel free to let me know if there is a special quote that you would like to see on a card.  i’m always open to custom requests.

custom made to order

happy first day of september…

the days seem to go by faster and the months are starting to just roll into one another. this past month, my weekends were filled with a little R&R and filling etsy orders during the week. i had a few more custom made simplewear orders than the average, so i thought i’d share a few of the fun designs.

this “little bizzzy bee” design was inspired by a bee themed baby shower for the mother-to-be. now everyone can know who this little bizzzy bee belongs to.

it seems exciting enough when you are able to share a pregnancy with your best friend. imagine how much more exciting it is when you’re both having little girls? it’s a given that the 2 little girls will be BFF’s as well. so this would make them BFF to the second degree!

my little cousin recently had a superhero themed party for his 5th birthday and i thought this shirt would be an absolutely perfect gift and an awesome shirt for his first day of kindergarten.

when you’ve got a beautiful strong name like, zachary bruce morse, you almost have to let the whole world know and since little baby zach is too little to tell everyone himself, this little onesie will do the job for him.

if you like any of these designs, would like to purchase or have an idea you’d like applied to a onesie or t-shirt, feel free to email me for more details or visit my etsy shop for other design options.

triple threat

the simplewear twin sets have been a great hit and i received several inquiries on triplet sets at the renegade craft fair.  so since then the ideas have been flowing… here are 2 new sets i created specifically for triplets.

“hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil” by simplewear on Etsy

i think the “hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil” makes for a great little set for any 3 monkeys: siblings, cousins or even for the new family (mommy, daddy and baby)!  email me if you want more info on customizing this design on adult size tees and tanks.
