Tutti Fruitti

I love bright colors!!

This was an invitation sample created for a recent women's club fundraiser called "The Fruit of the Spirit" -- hence the tangarine and lime detail.

The paper used (bottom to top) was Orange Metallic with Bright White Solid cardstock. The lime green border drim is printed on the white layer.

Paris Ferris Wheel

I have been working for a while to find the perfect feminie flourishes for girly invitations like these. The design originated with my grandmother's 80th birthday party invitations, and have evolved into these shower invitations.

I'll be honest -- while I love all of my work and working with great clients, shower invitations are by far my favorite. They don't carry as much of the stress of wedding invitations and are much more personal than corporate event invitations. They are full of hope, fun, whimsy, and most of all, personality.

Of course you can select fonts, font colors, placements, paper and more to make these PERFECT for your guest of honor!

The paper used in the sample (above) is Pearl White Metallic cardstock. The paper used in the sample (below) is (bottom to top) Baby Blue Solid with Pearl White Metallic cardstocks, embellished with a 1" white satin ribbon.

Moving Cards - Key Alley

I'll admit it -- I'm going through a 'key phase' for everything, including jewelry and home decorating. My husband had to put me on a decorating purchase freeze to prevent my mission of finding 20-30 various style/sized keys to decorate one wall of our living room. Twarted again.

So, I channelled this phase into these new Moving Cards! Dubbed "Key Alley", the card features a variety of keys to announce your new home address!

The paper used in this sample was recently discontinued, but the great news is that you can have them printed on over 80 different paper colors to make this announcement or invitation all your own!

Birthday Year

The Birthday Year invitations were created for my dad's 50th birthday. In talking about his 50th birthday party preparations, somehow the family got started on other things that happened in his Birth Year of 1958.

In laughing a bit over all the social happenings of 1958, we decided we had to incorporate them into the invitations somehow. Thus, the invitation below was born!


The paper used (bottom to top) was Cobalt Blue Solid with Bright White Solid. All of the fonts, font colors, and paper colors are customizable for your perfect event! We research all of the social happenings from your preferred year and run the list by you (in case there are any you would like omitted) and work up this invitation just for your guest of honor!

Stefanie's Holiday Baptism

Our good friends baptized their baby this winter, and we created these invitations for them. With the baptism being held mid-December, baby Stefanie's mom, Christina, selected a holiday theme for the celebration.

Here are the samples we made for them to select from for this wonderful event! Many feature ribbon detailing and all feature a colored back card.

The first invitation (shown above) was the one Christina selected. It features Stephanie's monogram on the left with the baptism invitation information to the right. A 1 1/4" thick red velvet ribbon separates the two sides. The paper used (from bottom to top) is Meadow Green Solid with Natural Solid on top.

We did have a separate enclosure card for RSVP and Reception details, (shown on the left side of the photo) which featured Stephanie's monogram at the top on Natural Solid paper.

Other samples for this event that weren't selected:





The Holiday Marquee design (shown left) is printed on Pearl White Metallic with a row of bright red dots at the top and bottom.

This invitation is also great for holiday parties, housewarmings, birthdays, showers, and more! The fonts, font colors, and dot colors are all customizable for your event, and this can be mounted onto a color cardstock for an extra layer of depth and quality!



























The Golden Child is a great baptismal or first communion invitation for either gender. The top of the invitation features the child's monogram at the top with a byzantine cross beneath it.

The paper used was (from bottom to top) Antique Gold Metallic with Bright White Basic paper. Over 80 paper colors and textures are available for you to customize this invitation. It's precious in a Rose Pink Shimmer Metallic mounted on Bronze Brown Metallic for a little girl!
