the parties continue…

July 19, 2011

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.

cutest paid invoice EVER!

April 19, 2011

today i received a paid invoice in the mail. of course it’s always nice when you get paid. but this client sent me a check in a cute polka dot envelope with stickers spelling out THANK YOU that i just had to share with you all. it totally made my day knowing that someone took the extra time to make something ordinary into something very special and i truly appreciate it!

march madness

March 17, 2011

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!

i ♥ stationery!

February 5, 2011

i love all things stationery related. so when christine contacted me regarding additional stationery items for her business, christine chang photography, i was super excited.

a while back i revamped her company’s look with a new logo, business cards and a really cool usb card. it’s always fun designing for someone who shares a similar taste in design, ’cause i pretty much get to design whatever i like and 98% of the time, they will always like it. makes my job real easy breezy and really fun.

here’s a look into the whole set with a few close up shots showcasing some fun aspects of this custom stationery set.

a blank notecard is always good to have around for a handwritten note of thanks. paired with a colored envelope, it’ll turn a simple message into something very special.

jotting down notes or sending a quick little memo is so much more fun on pretty paper…

i think a custom seal is like the cherry on top of a sundae.

if you’re looking for custom stationery for your business or even for personal use, feel free to contact me for more info.

pick up that pen & send a little love…

new flat notecards just added to my in a card Etsy shop. always makes for a great little gift for others as well as yourself. what better way to say thank you or a simple hello then with a handwritten note.
