Moving Cards - Mappin' Mover

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.

Prim Pram Ride

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.

Adobe Adodo

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.

Perfect Packages

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.

Batter's Up Bar Mitzvah

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....

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!!

Surfs Up for Ronan's First Birthday!

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?)
