These cards were done for Chrissy. When I was designing her invitations, she had discussed the possibility of using light blue as an accent color since she was having blue hydrangeas in her floral arrangements. Since we went with the chartruese on the invitations, I brought back the light blue hydrangea for the thank you card. I like thank you cards that are a little more playful and I think the simple three dimensional hydrangea works really well.

I don’t get asked to do many samples of invitations prior to people ordering them. Typically, my clients are satisfied with digital proofs. But I wanted to let all of you know that the cost listed on my website is now out of date. The current cost of a sample is $75.00 each. It’s crazy but this is the cost that allows me, most of the time, to make about $10 on a sample, which by no means pays for the time 
However, I like giving people the option of being able to order an actual sample prior to ordering. There’s nothing like having the real thing in your hands to see the actual colors and textures.
These are the accessories I made for to go with Melissa’s tree pocketfold invitations. I did a program, escort cards, table numbers and a sign to with her favors, which are young tree saplings for guests to take home and plant.
Programs: $.50 each
Escort Cards: $.75 each
Table Numbers: $2.00 each
Favor Sign: $$2.00
These invitations turned out so beautifully!! The metallic sapphire is gorgeous and I love the little pop of bright chartreuse. The striped vellum is really nice and I like how there is an inner ‘envelope’ without it being an envelope. Chrissy has fabulous taste and was awesome to work with. Menu cards and place cards coming soon….

I did Jennifer’s sister’s wedding invitations (see here) so when I was approached to do the Save the Dates for Jennifer, I was thrilled! Jennifer had a pretty good idea of what she wanted. Since her wedding is going to be in Turks & Caicos, she wanted either a plane ticket style or postcard style save the date. She decided on the postcard style. We went a couple of rounds with the design. The first designs were very vintage-y. The final design is what I would call ‘tourist-y modern’ , based on the typical type of postcards you see in vacation destinations. The fonts are casual and I used corals and blues for a bright, tropical feel. Due to the amount of information Jennifer needed to include, the ‘postcard’ ended up being a 5×7 folded card. But for all intents and purposes it looks like a postcard, complete with ‘postage’ and ‘postmarks’ that Jennifer found from Turks & Caicos (love the lizard!). The cards were then enclosed in a clear envelope so that they would arrive looking just like a vacation postcard.

Chrissy saw my invitation samples at a meeting with Ana from Twofoot Creative. She gave me a call because she liked how my invitations were ‘artsy’. She didn’t have many specific wants for an invitation besides a budget and she liked the invitations that had some kind of pocket that held the information cards. The colors she wants to use are sapphire, ivory and celadon. I did a few sketches for her and there were 2 designs that she really liked. Both are pocketfolds. The first one has an ivory striped vellum inner wrap. The second one features a ribbon and tag. I used a metallic sapphire for the pocketfolds and I added a dab of chartreuse for some ‘pop’.
As of right now, Chrissy has chosen the first design with the vellum wrapper. Of course, the colors do not look nearly as good in sketches as they do in person.

p.s.- I don’t know why these thumbnails look so terrible, but the enlarged image is fine….
So every year Angie & Tom have a New Years Day brunch. This year for Tom’s 40th, Ang wanted the brunch to also be a surprise party for Tom. He knows there’s a brunch but he doesn’t know it’s a party for him! Love the baby picture of Tom!
These cards were made as an insert for Ang to include inside the christmas cards she sends out.
There seems to be a streak of people having 70th birthday parties lately! This was a request for something ‘cheery’. I didn’t end up getting the order but I had fun designing these…
