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!


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

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

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

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

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

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.'
