Lift ticket inspired save the date
I have been so excited to share this save the date design with you all! When i met Lindsay and Carrick and realized how much skiing is a part of their life, i knew i wanted to incorporate it into their save the date design. While their wedding is in May, in the nice spring/summer weather, they were engaged in Vail, Colorado. Carrick had been in touch with the ski resort out there and had special signs made for Lindsay directing her down trails so he could propose to her! The story is so sweet and that really made me want to incorporate skiing somehow. Their wedding will be uber formal, but they really wanted something playful and representative of their personalities for the save the dates. After some brainstorming and sketching i presented the idea of a lift ticket to them! They loved it and so the designing began.
Here is the final product!
The actual save the date has a metal component that i was able to source from a ski resort and is printed as thermography. The save the date also has a small magnet tucked in there so her guests can hang them on the fridge if they choose to.
The save the date is then slipped into a fun enclosure and wa-la – in the mail they go!
Full of callas
Happy Monday everyone! I hope you had an enjoyable and relaxing weekend. This weekend was full of work and play and every bit a great time.
I just photographed these simple and pretty invitations for a mid-week celebration. A small and intimate gathering with a big party for the weekend coming up. They are offset printed and have a pretty yellow envelope liner. Full of calla lilies and lots of flourishes! A wrap label was used on navy envelopes which i just love! I worked with the bride and her sister on these and they were such a pleasure. Congrats Emily!
Pimp a pink harley
After Angela saw my post showing off Leslie’s custom notes, she contacted me to create a personal note for her too! I couldn’t resist using hot pink which i know Angela loves and mixing it with a hand illustrated Harley. She and her husband ride all summer long! So a nice mixture of color and imagery to express their personalities. {oh! And Angela tells me that Jerry likes pink too!}
A twist of sherbert
I”m thrilled to share some fresh, new printed goodies with you! You all might remember the logo reveal and business card reveal for Deborah DePasquale Designs? We have been working on an entire line of custom printed materials for her, including note cards, client folders, envelopes and stickers! {i think i have expressed how much i just loooove stickers}!
The notecards are simply beautiful printed on double thick stock with rounded corners and painted edges. It is a small details like those that give the pop and wow factor! Client folders are 9″ x 12″ and have a business card slot on the inside. A perfect spot to tuck documents, contracts and inspiration materials. Also, a fun #10 envelope with a printed back flap. I just love her logo colors… it truly is a twist of sherbert.

What’s in it?
My husband and i usually go to the market each week together. I do love meal planning, experimenting with new recipes and trying new food. He is away this week, and by habit i overbought at the store. So i found myself splitting and freezing much more food than normal! So i tried to be all organized and remember what was in each package but i’ll never remember. And you know, as a designer, i need something pretty and fun to label the food! So i went into the studio and whipped up these tags:
You can download some here. I just trimmed out and used clear packing tape to hold it on. Enjoy!
Logo reveal: Binx
I am so pleased to reveal a new logo design to you all! When Ilissa came to me about designing her logo I was thrilled. You see, Binx is in the concept stage right now. However, the concept is great and a much needed store in this area. Binx will be an upscale baby boutique. Since we are adopting, and of course shopping for our baby, there are things i want but simply can’t find here. I love the idea of this store and i’m excited to spend money!
Some of what Ilissa and i talked about in creating the logo were: A simple and modern feel, bold and bright colors- getting away from traditional pastels, easily recognizable mark that will be used on bags, tissue, ribbon and tags. Ilissa also wants the logo to stand for what the company will be about. A fun store that will bring unique products to those looking and will be devoted to customer satisfaction.
So, without further ado, i present Binx!
I will keep you posted on the progress of the store, it is truly exciting for Ilissa!
