Beach Walk

2010-07-15T08:00:00.000-05:00

This invitation suite was designed for my internship roommate, Jana, and her fiance, Tom. They are planning a beach-front wedding later this summer. In their effort to 'go green', we worked to creatively eliminate envelopes or additional paper inserts where we could. Below is what was printed on the reverse of their invitations, allowing for less paper to be used throughout the printing process.

We even designed response post cards instead of traditional cards with envelopes:

Paper used for all of their Save the Date and Invitations is Pearl White Metallic. The Invitation Envelopes are also Pearl White Metallic. The Invitation Envelopes are lined in Aqua Lagoon Metallic to coordinate with the flip flop detailing on their paper suite.

Perfect Game

2010-06-19T08:36:00.000-05:00

I'm sorry I haven't blogged these invitations sooner! They were created for my nephew's 8th birthday bowling party.

So many kids birthday invitations today reflect our no-time, no-creativity lifestyle, and these are a great alternative!

I invite my clients to get creative all the time -- think your kids interests -- sports, hobbies, and more! We can create and hand cut any invitations to be unique and perfect, just like your child.

The paper used was Bright White Basic cardstock hand cut into the shape of a bowling pin. While all hand cut invitations are done so with care, we do leave a small margin for variations, as they are cut by hand, and not a machine.

Chickadee

2010-06-15T08:00:00.000-05:00

I love these little birth announcements!! The simplicity of this little chickadee presents the information of your newest addition with a cute note.

As with all of our birth announcements, we encourage the mom-to-be to select the announcements before the arrival of her new baby. Once they are selected and purchased, we mail the envelopes to you ahead of time, so you can address them while you still have a free minute! Once the baby is born, just forward us the key information, like name, weight, length and photo (optional with some baby announcements), and we create your announcements and send them over. A classic way to get the word out of your special delivery!

The paper is (top to bottom) Orange Basic with Bright White Basic cardstock on top.

Labels - Sweet Treats and Favors

2010-06-10T08:10:00.000-05:00

Something I love about current wedding trends is the Candy Bar. No, not the Snicker.

The actual bar, or buffet, of candy treats for your guest to enjoy as a wedding favor. These labels have been very popular to appear on a clear, cello bag near you and placed strategically near the Candy Bar for your guests to load up a baggie to take home.

All of the labels are shown with fun song lyrics, but yours can say anything you want! Go the extra step to personalize them with your names and the date.

Also great for shower favor bags, these can be personalized with other fun sayings like "Jana's Bridal Shower -- only 68 more days until the Miss becomes a Mrs." At only $3 per sheet of 18 labels, they are a cost-effective way to make your Candy Bar personalized and perfect!

Calling Cards - Brides Collection

2010-06-05T07:00:00.000-05:00

As we've posted before, calling cards are making a comeback in a big way. Perfect for enclosing with a gift when you don't need a full greeting card, or sending with a note or document, they are a great social correspondence piece for your collection!

These are both designed with brides in mind in two different styles. Many brides who order these styles enclose their new address or contact information on the back of them and include them with shower and wedding thank you notes, or when giving gifts to their attendants.

The can double as a 'calling card' with your new contact information and (of course!) you new name! Over 80 paper colors are available to customize these cards. They are shown on Bright White Solid.

Labels - Argyle

2010-06-02T08:04:00.000-05:00

Ok, I'm a sucker for labels. While invitations are hands-down my passion, I think address labels can say so much about the sender. I designed these early on in Bliss Papers and am finally sharing these great labels for your enjoyment!

Font, font color, and argyle colors are all completely customizable, and these labels are available in multiple sizes to fit your preference. At only $3 per sheet, they are affordable, custom labels!

Also, check out these Argyle Pastels, great for a softer look (and a favorite for baby shower invitations and announcements!)

Tutti Fruitti

2010-05-31T08:39:00.003-05:00

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

2010-05-27T07:00:00.003-05:00

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

2010-05-19T08:30:00.001-05:00

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!

Labels - Round Wedding Rings Seals

2010-05-12T08:03:00.002-05:00

Envelope Seals! These little labels are just under 2" across and perfect for sealing your Save the Date envelopes. Colors, fonts, font colors, and ring tones (white gold or yellow gold) are custom to your specifications. Here, they are shown (from top to bottom) in Navy with white gold rings, Brown with yellow gold rings, and Black with white gold rings.

Get creative and thinking about what would be perfect for your seals -- they're the first part of your Save the Date your guests will see!

At only $3 per sheet of 18 labels, these are an affordable highlight to any wedding mailing. They are also great to seal

Moving Cards - Broadway Bound

2010-05-11T07:23:00.001-05:00

The Broadway Bound moving cards were created for a client who was changing addresses to a new home on the famed boulevard in New York City. These cards really summed up the stage actor's personality to encompass his bachelor lifestyle and excitement to move onto Broadway.

The paper used was (from bottom to top) was Black Solid with Natural Solid.

Labels - Ribbon Layers

2010-05-10T07:37:00.002-05:00

These Ribbon Layers Labels are perfect for a fun touch for anything! They are, of course, great for address labels, but they have also been widely popular for just a personalized label featuring your name (great for labeling dishes, books, and more!) and for favor tags for showers and birthday parties.

All colors are completely customized to your specifications, and two sizes are available to fit your needs.

Birthday Year

2010-05-09T07:09:00.002-05:00

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!

Lables - Bumble Beets

2010-05-08T07:57:00.001-05:00

More labels fun!! These were originally designed for my cousin, who wanted something fun for her labels, featuring bumble bees.

If you check out the Simply collection of note cards on our web site, there are tons of characters and animals to select from (elephants or basketballs, anyone?) to customize these labels even further. The background and dot colors can be customized or eliminated to your preferences.

So get creative! At only $3 per sheet, these are affordable custom labels!

Labels - Black Stripe

2010-05-06T07:39:00.001-05:00

Labels! Labels! Labels!!

More are coming steadily, but check these out for today: The Black Stripe labels feature trios of vertical stripes and a solid-colored text box.

A classic look with a fun colors and stripes! Font, font color, stripe color, and text box color are all completely customizable, and these labels come in multiple sizes to fit your preference. At only $3 per sheet, they are affordable custom labels!

Champagne Wishes

2010-05-05T10:49:00.001-05:00

These invitations were created for my good friend, Katina's, couples shower with her fiance (soon to be husband!), Seth. With a delicate color champagne glass duo at the top, the invitation lets your guests know a celebration is in store.

The paper used (from bottom to top) was Black Solid with Pearl White Metallic, setting a great tone for this elegant event. You can customize this to make it yours with over 80 paper color and finish options.

A big congratulations to Seth and Katina, who were married April 4! The wedding was spectacular and Katina was a gorgeous bride. Many happy years to you both!

Stefanie's Holiday Baptism

2010-05-03T08:39:00.022-05:00

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!

The Broadway Bubbles invitation (shown left) was another sample that brought in the holiday colors while focusing on the guest of honor, Stefanie. The paper used (bottom to top) was Black Basic with Bright White Basic, and embellished with the Lime Bubbles ribbon.

Moving Cards - Silhouette Chandelier

2010-05-01T10:20:00.001-05:00

More moving cards! These are a fun little spin on a grown up lighting feature, the silhouette chandelier is a great card for announcing your first home or inviting guests to a housewarming party, an open house or even a girls' night out. I've also used this design for a baby shower recently -- adorable!

Feel free to personalize it with your favorite colors in the stripe or a fun backcard in any of our solid or metallic colors! Show paper colors (from bottom to top layer) are Aqua Lagoon and Bright White Solid.

Calling Cards - Sports Collection

2010-04-29T20:00:00.001-05:00

While still in its infancy, the sports collection of calling cards is a great gift for kids and adult sportsman alike. My brother, a grown man, has a set of the basketball cards and tends to use them frequently.

Popular in the 1800s, personalized calling cards have made a great resurgance in popularity. They are the perfect card for situations where a traditional business card would be too formal, but you will wish to give out your information or let someone know you stopped by.

Alternatively, they can be included with a gift in lieu of a card, or included with a small package when a traditional card doesn't seem necessary.

Moving Cards - Mappin' Mover

2010-04-27T08:00:00.001-05:00

At my age (late 20s, don't get too excited), my friends are on the move often, many buying their first homes or transferring for jobs, spurring my new moving cards design. I'll be posting more over the next few weeks, so check back -- there is sure to be the perfect one for you!

The Mappin' Mover is the eco-friendly moving option, with the base a 100% recycled card. Mounted on the cover is a clip of an online map of your new area, with a star marking your new address. The inside is a message in typeset font, where you can inform your guests of your new address or invite them to a housewarming party or open house.

Moving Cards - Second City Skyline

2010-04-22T10:12:00.000-05:00

The new moving cards collection continues with the Second City Skyline, featuring a 'hanging' work of downtown Chicago. As we are a Chicago-based company, this had to appear in our repertoire.

Shown, this moving card is mounted on a teal shimmer backcard with a scallop-cut border. You can opt for any of our cardstock options in flat or shimmer materials in any border cuts to truly personalize these cards for your big move!

The paper used (from bottom to top) was Tiffany Blue Solid with Bright White Solid on top. They were custom cut into a scalloped edge for a little personalization. They are also available with straight edges or rounded corners.

Moving Cards - Tiffany Stripes

2010-04-18T22:19:00.000-05:00

Moving cards are becoming increasingly popular, as an e-mail saying "we've moved" just doesn't have the same flair and personalization. The Tiffany Stripes card has a little flair with the quip at the top, which can be altered to perfect your style.

The paper layers (from bottom to top) are Aqua Lagoon Metallic, Black Solid, and Bright White Solid. Over 80 paper colors are available to customize this product!

Turquoise is a hot color this season, and a happy little color, as far as I am concerned. As with all of our products, the colors, fonts, and layout can be customized to be a moving announcements or housewarming invitation that says 'you.'

Calling Cards - Scroll Fruits Collection

2010-03-21T23:35:00.008-05:00

I designed the scroll fruit collection first in a set of calling cards to test them out and see how they rate among my customers. With Spring finally here, they seem like a cheery gift you could give a hostess or friend who deserves a little something.

As with any of the calling cards, you can customize them to add names, address, e-mail, phone, or any other information that you'd like. I have many customers who use them as a nice spin on traditional business cards as well. You can order them as squares, or wit h rounded edges for an additional charge. Check out the full collection below and order yours today at http://www.blisspapers.com/.

Prim Pram Ride

2010-01-28T20:53:00.000-06:00

The Prim Pram Ride was created for a baby shower this past fall. The invitations feature a detail of a traditional pram stroller at the top with a scalloped bar across the top.

The invitation was printed on white metallic cardstock and features an aquamarine metallic back card. The final invitation measures 3.5" x 8" and is available for $2 each. Additional directions, enclosure and response cards are available for $.75 each.

Hula Hoop Hula

2010-01-27T20:49:00.001-06:00

The Hula Hoop Hula invitations made their debut last month for my grandmother's surprise 80th birthday party. The hoop scroll design is featured on both sides of the invitation with the details down the center.

It was printed on while linen card stock with a black linen back card. The final invitation measures 4" x 8" and is available for $2 per invitation. Additional directions, enclosure and response cards are available for $.75 each.

Adobe Adodo

2010-01-26T11:40:00.003-06:00

This design was created when a client wanted to create an invitation for her rehearsal dinner at an upscale Mexican restaurant. The scroll design is a nod to the Hispanic theme of the location, while maintaining an elegant, classic look that reflected the bride and groom.

The invitations are printed on white linen cardstock with a metallic fairway green back card. The final size of the invitation is 3.5" x 7.5" and is available for $2 per invitation. Additional directions, enclosure and response cards are available for $.75 each.

Bridesmaids Bogata

2010-01-25T20:30:00.000-06:00

This was created for a Bridesmaids Brunch the day before my cousin's wedding. The event was a nice morning affair for her bridesmaids, moms, grandmothers, aunts and close friends to get together and spoil the bride a little before the wedding weekend commenced.

I worked with the bride's colors of light orange and pink to customize the dresses on the invitation. Your wedding colors can just as easily be featured when you use this invitation for a shower or bridesmaids luncheon.

The invitation is printed on white linen paper with a light orange back card. The final size of the invitations is 5 1/2" x 7 1/2" and are $2 each. Additional directions, enclosure and response cards are available for $.75 each.

Garden Party

2010-01-24T20:25:00.003-06:00

These invitations were created for an upcoming engagement party later this spring. For a springtime, backyard event, the grass detail on the bottom of the card is a perfectly simple touch.

The cards are printed on white cardstock and backed with a deep green back card. The final size is 5 1/2 x 7 1/2 and they are $2 per invitation, including the envelope printed with the return address. Additional directions, enclosure and response cards are available for $.75 each.

Perfect Packages

2009-12-30T21:51:00.000-06:00

These were designed for a birthday party, when the host wanted something simple, but a little different. The sierra white cardstock is tied with a 1/4" red satin ribbon. The ribbon is secure only in the manner of tying. It is not other wise taped onto the cardstock.

This also a great look for a holiday party invitation. Instead of the flourish at the bottom, the custom design could be a small Christmas tree, star or other holiday symbol. Ribbon color, of course, is custom to your event. Hosting a baby shower? A delicate pastel ribbon would be perfect around this invitation.

Pricing is $1.75 per invitation, including ribbon and return address printed on the outer envelope. Enclosure cards are $.75 each. The size shown is a 5" square and the envelope measures 5.5" square.

Fantasy Land

2009-12-10T21:32:00.014-06:00

These were invitations created for a summer wedding reception. The couple had been together for some time, and after a courthouse wedding, they wanted a fun afternoon reception to celebrate making their union 'official'.

We went with a bright color scheme of a coral orange and kelly green, which was inspired by the floral centerpieces the bride envisioned her their special day. The scroll work on the invitations was all a custom design, created to make a more formal occasion a bit whimsical.

The coral orange cardstock is printed in kelly green and mounted on a kelly green back card. The enclosure postcards were in the coral cardstock and there was a second enclosure card, not pictured, that included a message reading "In lieu of gifts, the bride and groom would like you to bring donations to be made to the local SPCA" and some specific foods and items were listed. The couple's lifelong commitment to their animals was something they were able to bring into their reception through these donations.

Dimensions for the invitations were 5.5" square with the enclosure postcard at 4.25" x 5.5" and the gift enclosure card at 3.5" x 2.5". All were sent together in a sierra white 6" square envelope. The Summer Wedding suite runs $2 per invitations and $.75 per enclosure card, including return address printing on the outer envelope.

Batter's Up Bar Mitzvah

2009-06-15T22:34:00.004-05:00

I was hired to design a creative invitation for an upcoming bar mitzvah in our community. The bar mitzvah has a baseball theme and our host wanted a masculine and adult feel to a fun theme. As our guest of honor is a big Yankees fan, I designed the blue pinstripes with a thick red block print to set the tone.

The invitation in totality measures 6" x 12". The lower 4" are a perforated tear-off response postcard, which has the host's address printed on the reverse. They only needed a postcard stamp for the response (a great option in these tough economical times). They were printed on traditional white cardstock and scored before folding.

The entire invitation folded up into a 6" x 4" enclosure and was sealed with these great round baseball labels, which measure 1 1/2" in diameter and feature our guest of honor's name and the date.

Coordinating place cards and thank you notes are also available.

* Names and dates were changed upon request

It's 5 o'clock somewhere....

2009-05-25T22:29:00.011-05:00

I was called up by a sorority sister on the East Coast to design some invitations for her company's spring cocktail mixer -- my pleasure!!

She selected my Cocktail Stripe invitation, featuring vertical stripes on each side in a celidan green with a cute wine glass and martini glass at the top. They are 5" x 7" and were printed on matte white cardstock and come with coordinating envelopes, complete with a return address in fonts to match the invitation.

These are also great for housewarmings, couples showers/stock the bar parties, cocktail parties, bachelorette parties, evening bridal showers, and birthday parties!!

A couple of other fabulous invitations when throwing a cocktail or bachelorette party:

Theo's Birth Announcements

2009-05-25T22:16:00.005-05:00

They're finally here!!! Theo's birth announcements!! Our friends Joann and Matt gave birth to a beautiful baby boy in February -- about 3 months early. After a very fruitful season in the NICU, Theo is at home and growing stronger every day. He is now three months old and at home with mommy and daddy. We wanted to design an announcement that let their friends and family know not only about his birth stats, but about his 'take-home' stats.

We found a great happy "masculine" medium, complete with a photo college of Theo over the last three months. These are available in gloss or matte photo paper, traditional cardstock or metallic shimmer cardstock. Enjoy!

New Baby Announcements and Shower Invitations

2009-05-20T23:23:00.012-05:00

I haven't put many of these on the site yet, but please enjoy some of my new baby announcements. I encourage new mothers to select an announcement style and size prior to your baby's arrival. Place the order and I will send you the envelopes with your return address on them, so you can start addressing them before the little one arrives. Once the baby is here, we can adjust colors, photos, style, fonts, content, and layout (but since we already ship envelopes, we have to stick to the ordered size). It makes getting the announcement of your new bundle of joy a little less stressful.

Happy Mothers Day!

2009-05-10T08:28:00.005-05:00

Happy Mother's Day out there to all of our mothers, grandmothers, godmothers, furmoms and the like! I hope you have a fabulous day!

Mommy cards (very 'day' appropriate, I think) are there for moms, people with home businesses and really just everyone in this economic climate, so you have your information to give to a friend, acquaintance, future employers, or potential play date (or date, for that matter).

They are personal, creative, and unique -- just like their owner.

They are 250 for $40 and you design is always saved for easy reordering. Enjoy!

Joann's Baby Shower

2009-05-09T12:20:00.006-05:00

My best friend Joann, delivered her first baby late this winter, and what better way to have celebrating the coming of baby Theo than a baby shower? These are the invitations and response card I designed for the occasion. We ended up using the last invitations with the Grosgrain Polka Dot Columns.

Like me, she's a little anti-pastel, so I went with an apple green theme, with touches of orange. The centerpieces are also photographed here. Overall, it was just lovely!

These were the invitations I ended up going with -- overall I was very pleased for the tone they set!

I added an enclosure card, since we had multiple meal selections.

This was the menu card for the shower, at each setting. A perfectly coordinated detail! They were tucked into an apple green pocket-fold napkin with a little favor of an orange dinosaur cookie cutter on top of the napkin (Joann and Matt referred to Theo as the 'clobbersaurus' when he was in-utero, since they didn't know the gender) and a small favor of a white 2" garden pail with a basil plant at the top of each setting.

I had some other initial ideas for the shower invitations. These were the ones that didn't make the cut:

Sally-Anne and Michael's Wedding Labels

2009-05-09T12:16:00.012-05:00

First off, congratulations to Sally-Anne and Michael, who are getting married this weekend! I had the pleasure of designing not only their address labels when they recently moved, but the seals on their wedding invitations as well.

Sally-Anne has fabulous taste and her wedding colors are kelly green and hot pink. Her invitations were designed by Holland Photo Arts and my Grosgrain Round Labels finished off her ensemble perfectly!

Her invitations designers blogged about their invitations as well. Check it out HERE.

These, and any other round labels, are available for $5 per sheet of 20 labels.

Congratulations again, you two!

Wedding Monograms

2009-05-09T12:14:00.009-05:00

A new client asked me to design some wedding monograms for them to use on their invitations, programs, place cards and thank you notes. I am more than honored to design and print them all for them.

These are all available in any colors and are $35 per monogram. You will receive in in 4 format, both in color and black & white. After the one time purchase of a monogram, you have full rights to use and reproduce the monogram as you'd like. If you order paper products featuring the monogram at the time of monogram purchase, the monogram is $10 off!

Surfs Up for Ronan's First Birthday!

2009-05-09T12:11:00.007-05:00

I was honored to be asked to design invitations for my friend, Kelly's, son's first birthday -- complete with a surf theme. Here are a few designs I strummed up for the occasion, trying to keep the surf board as the 'one' on the invitations. LOVE the idea of a surf themed birthday (for any age really -- who doesn't want to sport a Hawaiian shirt or sundress to THE party of the summer?)

Jen's Knitting Business

2009-05-09T08:05:00.000-05:00

My friend Jen has a knitting business, from where she makes the most beautiful scarves, blankets and more. She wanted to have business cards to give friends, family and future clients, and wanted something sassy but professional.

From my line of mommy cards, I customized my Robin Swirls design with Jen's products and contact information. Turn around time for printing and shipping these was a week and runs $40 for 250 cards (which comes out to a meager 16 cents each). A small price to pay for fabulousness!

Something I forgot in my initial post. Your designs are saved and backed up, and no publications will ever show your actual information.

Also, paypal is my preferred method of payment, but checks & money order are also accepted. Ready for soemthing this fabulous for you? Contact me any time using the information to the right.

I finally have a blog!

2009-05-09T07:52:00.000-05:00

That's right folks -- I finally broke down and decided to start blogging about my adventures in paper! Don't stress -- I've changed the names, addresses and locations in my sample work on here to protect my clients.

I live in the western suburbs of Chicago with my husband (who is a pilot and can't get far away enough from the paper business) and our three-year-old Lhasa Cocker mix, Reagan. We were married two years ago, and after making all of the paper products for my own wedding, and guests constantly asking who did my printing, it just made sense to channel my creative energies into my own business, and Bliss Papers was born.

Everything on my site is custom made, allowing all designs to be tailored to EXACTLY what you want. Nothing is pre-printed cardstock that I just add your information to.

I feature a full line of:

Invitations - weddings, showers, birthdays, holiday parties and more!
Wedding & Birth Announcements
Correspondence & Note Cards - everyone should have a little stash of these at home
Mommy cards - think business cards, but without a business on it, and with a little more personality
Recipe Cards - Great for shower and housewarming gifts
We've Moved Cards
Monograms - Custom monograms for your child, the bride & groom, or just the sassy lady in your life
Labels - Address labels, envelope seals, book labels and more!
