Invitation Design

This is a recent invitation I designed for a corporate event. It's a simple design but the finished product was professional and the client was happy.

New Baby Shower Invitations

I recently designed a few baby shower invitations for a new client. I do so much corporate design work during the day so it's nice to work on invitations in my free time.

Baby Shower Cake!

My sister's baby shower was a success! A few posts below are the invites I had created. Just wanted to share the cake that matched, made by a friend of mine. I was so happy with how it turned out. 

Bella Figura

Wish I had an event to design invites for. I suddenly feel inspired. Bella Figura has beautiful letterpress invitations. Above is one of my favorites. Love the colors.

Baby Shower Invitations

I'm going to be an aunt soon! I recently designed these baby shower invitations for my sister. The basic theme, "Big Top Baby Shower" was taken from Hostess With The Mostess but I'm changing it up a little and adding my own style.

Baby Announcements

Recent baby announcement designs I completed for a friend. Her shower had a butterfly theme so the second concept was focused around the shower. 

Paper Creatures

Aren't these adorable? You can purchase the template for these little guys on etsy. With your purchase you receive a pdf file to print and full instructions are included. It's getting pretty cold here in Ohio. This might be a good project for a night in when the snow starts falling.

Halloween Stationery

Halloween is probably my least favorite holiday. I'm not sure why but I just don't get excited about candy and costumes. It is a fun time to look at stationery though. Here are a few of my favorite designs I found on etsy.

Boo invitation from the etsy shop of Letterpress Light.

Amy Butler Rugs

Have you seen these gorgeous new rugs from Amy Butler. They are incredibly beautiful in these photos. I can't imagine how they must look in person.

There are 19 rugs in the new collection and each one is handmade. The design is hand-carved into each rug. I'd love to see this process. That is some serious talent, and patience I would imagine!

All rugs are based on previous Amy Butler patterns. They are available in two sizes, 5' x 7' 6" and 7' 9" x 10' 6". You can purchase on Amy Butler's website.

These two are my favorite but I wouldn't mind owning any of them. Which one do you like best? 

Lace Stationery from PaperWren

Beautiful stationery from PaperWren inspired by antique lace. Each card is 4.25" x 5.5". Printed on 100% recycled paper on acid free cardstock. Stationery set comes with matching 100% recycled matching envelope.

Screen Printed Flower Cards

These beautiful screen printed cards are 3 1/2" x 4 7/8" and sold as a set of 6. Blank on the inside with plenty of room for a personal greeting. Love the vintage-inspired look. I seem to be into vintage lately!
