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

Theo's Birth Announcements

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!

Happy Mothers Day!

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!

Jen's Knitting Business

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!

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!
• Place Cards - Because no bride wants to write them out when they can be custom printed
• Menu Cards - Let your guests know what is on tonight's menu - be it a dinner party for 10 or a wedding for 400
  
• Calligraphy services - they're more affordable than you think

I hope you will enjoy this blog, and I'll keep everyone updated with current jobs as they come along. We are working on the new web site, which will hopefully be up and running sometime this summer.
