Nutcracker Themed December Birthday

Kristin's mom Kathleen came to us with a December birthday planned and since she skipped the party the year before, wanted to make this one extra special. Since Kristin loves ballet and the Nutcracker we made her glittery invitations enclosed in a pouchette and tied with a ribbon, just like in the movie. They were personalized and handed out to each child and included the soldier and ballerina so the boys wouldn't think they were getting a "girly" invitation. Personalized favor tags were also attached to cute present boxes and a wooden nutcracker and candies were packaged in them. Take a look at some of the pictures, the cake matched the artwork on the invitations too! We also included matching Thank You cards for Kristin to give out to her friends.

Talk About Advertising!

Other than creating wonderful invitations for fabulous parties and events, we also specialize in graphic design and do a lot of work for local companies. Here is one logo we did for Salvatori's Plumbing & Heating. He turned an old ambulance into his work vehicle and when you see this driving down the road, you can't miss him!

Mardi Gras Themed 30th Birthday

Elaine was throwing her daughter a Mardi Gras themed 30th birthday party. She enlisted us to come up with something creative and to stand out from the rest. We used a purple feather adhered to a glittery gold paper to add some glitz and glamour. A metallic purple envelope sealed the deal.

Pirates, Skulls & Fun

A pirate themed birthday party seems to be quite the rage these days. We created these great invitations on silver metallic paper, diecut them into circles, and used a skull punch for that extra little detail. Personalized favor bags with the kids names and cupcake tags completed the look. Everything was red, black and white.

Eco-Friendly Earthy Wedding

Besides all the glitz and glamour, we get requests to design something for the casual "at home affair." BBQ, dancing, and recycled products were the main focus for this event.

Country Style

Katie and Cory were having a real rustic, country wedding and wanted a Save the Date to reflect both of their activities. Cory is an avid fisherman so creating a simple tag style Save the Date hung by an actual fishing line seemed like a perfect solution. They loved it! I also was able to design a country themed Bridal Shower Invitation with a personalized apron of the bride-to-be.

Personalized Gift Tags

What better than to have a tag for a present and have the child be able to sign their own name? My kids love it and it's a nice personal touch that a card (which most likely get lost) lacks sometimes. Available with the letters of the alphabet to represent the birthday boy/girl's name or numbers to represent the birthday boy/girl's age. And a large, blank spot for your child or children to sign. A hit with parents!



This fold-over tag stores the gift receipt nice and securely so it doesn't get lost in the shuffle!

Petals & Pink

Steve and Bonnie enlisted us to create their birth announcement for their sweet baby girl Madelyn. We kept it simple and soft and fit into a standard #10 envelope with a personalized wraparound label.

Circles Galore

As you can probably tell, the circle punch is a fave of mine. I use it whenever possible to add a little splash of texture and color to anything. Almost any wording has at least one "O" and what better to do than punch it out! As you can see from some of the samples below.

Veronica is One!

When Veronica's mom came to us to design her first year birthday invitation we were excited because she was having a luau! A nice earthy environment paper stock was selected and we created hibiscus artwork with individually hand punched the stamens for some detail. Goodie bag favor tags completed the package with raffia used to tie them on.
