noreply@blogger.com (Candis) — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 01:29:00 +0000

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

noreply@blogger.com (Candis) — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 00:56:00 +0000

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!

noreply@blogger.com (Candis) — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 02:55:00 +0000

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.

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

noreply@blogger.com (Candis) — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 21:35:00 +0000

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

noreply@blogger.com (Candis) — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 19:00:00 +0000

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

noreply@blogger.com (Candis) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 02:01:00 +0000

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.

Halloween coasters from Vermilion Star Press.

Printable Notecards and Gift Tags from Ali Design.

Amy Butler Rugs

noreply@blogger.com (Candis) — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 12:49:00 +0000

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?

Encouragement Cards

noreply@blogger.com (Candis) — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 11:52:00 +0000

These encouragement cards caught my eye on etsy the other day. Both the colors and words create a beautiful card. Each card is blank on the inside and sold in sets of 6. Folded size is 5" x 3.5".

Topo Cards

noreply@blogger.com (Candis) — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 01:45:00 +0000

These cards made by Marnie at Crafterall are so beautiful! They are made from five layers of graduated colored cardstock. Each one looks like a piece of art. They can be mailed safely just like any other greeting card with a standard stamp.

Cupcake Wrappers

noreply@blogger.com (Candis) — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 01:08:00 +0000

Next time you serve cupcakes at a party, dress them up with some creative wrappers. These would be simple to design on your own but if you don't have the software to design something you can purchase these from etsy. This is a nice way to personalize a party.

The above designs are available at Paper & Cake. Once you make a purchase you'll receive a pdf of the wrappers to print from your home computer. You can print as many as you want for one price.

Visit Paper & Cake for further instructions on how to assemble.

Siska Studio

noreply@blogger.com (Candis) — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 00:21:00 +0000

When I see stationery like this I just want to buy it and hang it on my wall. Stationery studios should also sell prints of their work. Don't you agree?

These beautiful cards are from Siska Studio. The artwork is a digital render which is printed on linen stock. Each card comes with a kraft envelope and packaged in an acrylic case.

Re-Writable Gift Tags

These re-writable gift tags from Jayda would come in handy so many times. The tags are printed on 30% recycled paper with soy based inks. Since the tags have a special coating on them it allows you to write, erase and re-use. Any type of erasable marker will work with the gift tag and then you can simply wipe off the text with a tissue.

Jayda also carries a line of Re-Usable gift bags made form 100% cotton.

Visit JaydaOnline.com to purchase.

Escargot Studio

noreply@blogger.com (Candis) — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 11:15:00 +0000

Shikha sent me a very nice email introducing me to her modern eco-friendly line of paper goods. The shop is called Escargot Studio. I immediately loved what I saw so decided to post some photos right away.

The shop displays a collection of both fresh and functional paper products. One of the most important aspects of Escargot Studio is the dedication to being green. Every item is produced using eco-friendly materials and processes.

Visit the website and the etsy shop for additional information.

Thanks for the email Shikha! The stationery from Escargot Studio is beautiful.

itoa

noreply@blogger.com (Candis) — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 14:17:00 +0000

Some bold, colorful stationery to brighten up your morning. These images are from iota, a company based in Colorado. I'm not sure how long they've been in business but they are new to me.

Every year iota creates nine fresh patterns based on nine different colors. That's pretty impressive! It's good to have goals, right? Clients and customers can always expect to see something fun and new each year.

The current product line consists of journals, notebooks, eco-friendly bags, kitchen items, tableware, gift tags, note cards and stationery.

I'm thinking I should decorate my office with some of these products to liven up my space.
