Tea Party Birthday Invitation

A cool party for a cool little girl requires a cool invitation!

Pink card pattern screen printed on metallic aqua paper mounted under die cut linen paper decorated using the original illustrations by Sir John Tenniel and touches of red glitter

Gramercy Brownstone Wedding

Client request:

Our favorite color is blue - midnight, stell blue, navy blue, anything but pastels.
I would be interested to see Gramercy Park design elements. We are getting married at our friend's brownstone, so maybe a brownstone theme... I really love the subway RSVPs [from Brooklyn set].

The result:
A brownstone door embossed on sapphire paper that served as jacket for invitation. Main invitation was screen printed with an image of a Brownstone and the RSVP postcard was adapted from Brooklyn to Manhattan:

How do you like them apples?

Screen printed birth announcement to welcome Baby Chloe to the family. Client was open to ideas but mentioned apples and we ran with it. Matching stationery was also printed on ivory card stock.

The Whitney

Although this invitation was originally designed for a dear friend's upcoming baby girl (see title), it fit the bill for another client as well:

client request: Baby shower invitation for a couple having a girl and so I was thinking of maybe doing pink and green colorwise. They are kind of a preppy southern couple - maybe less baby than more baby and more casual/fun than formal.

The result: main invite screen printed on die cut 111 lb. cover textured paper in a soft white. This is mounted on pink and green patterned paper printed on linen cover stock and mounted on green cover stock. Congrats Ashely (and Whitney)!

Another Yankees fan?

Save the "very important" Date

Client request:
I am having an Alice in Wonderland themed wedding and need some 'Save the Date' cards. In red white and black, like the Queen of Hearts colour theme. I would love the white rabbit holding the pocket watch included as it enforces the time theme of the Save the Date cards.

Tattoo Baby Shower Invitation

Customer request:

I'd like a shower invite featuring a cherubic-yet-smirking little boy baby, vintage-looking, surrounded by the your standard vintage tattoo embellishments -- hearts, wings, a "Mother" banner.
