Woodland Save The Dates!

I wanted to share a Save the Date card that I designed for my sister's wedding last summer. It was a beautiful outdoor wedding and she and her now husband wanted it to be an "outdoor/woodsy" theme. She didn't have too much more as far as a direction, so I went with it! Here is the result.

I liked the way the forest was subdued by the blue, but I think this would be pretty in green or even salmon. I had a lot of fun with the other floral graphic elements and was soooo excited that I got to use a bird! My favorite part is the textured envelope that we found! Don't you just love paper!

These are going to be available in my shop when I get around to figuring out the details... like colors and a price :) Have to have them now? Just email me!

better late than never...

Hello all,

Sorry I've been away for a while. Things have been really busy and then I got really sick! Like almost pneumonia sick! I'm doing much better though and trying to catch up after having to take almost a week and a half off.

In my absence I actually had to photograph some of my work, which is good because I've been wanting to post it anyway!

Here are just a couple of photos of my wedding invitations which I design and letterpressed almost 3 years ago (hence the better late...) I was really happy with them and they are basically how I decided that designing/creating stationery was really what I was interested in. I've done other suites since then, which I will post soon. Enjoy!

Hello everyone and happy Friday!

I have been buried in grading this week. I just returned almost 500 collages to my 80 illustration students! It's been a bit busy and on top of that I've been trying to get an order of save the date cards out the door! Below is a sneak peak of the magnet that is being printed for the inside of the card. I love the color palette for this wedding!!! I'll photograph the whole thing once they are done. Have a great weekend everyone!

bridal shower invitations

I recently had the pleasure of designing some bridal shower invitations for one of my dearest friends. You may recall the silhouette from this post. They will get more use in the wedding invitations, but I was super excited to use them for this "something blue" themed wedding shower!
The invitations consisted of a flat card with all of the particulars, a lined envelope and an envelope seal. All personalized just for Laura! Enjoy.

Sneak Peek

Thought I would show a little preview of a new wedding invitation suite I am working on. I already did the save the dates (I promise I'll get some photos up soon) and am now working on the invitations. Here is a little graphic that I am working on to integrate into the stationery:
