Custom Personalized Stationery Notecards

These custom note cards were inspired by Anthopologie curtains and were created for that gift recipient who "has everything". They feature an abstract flower design with an eyelet embellishment in the center. Of course, the set wouldn't be complete without a coordinating envelope liner using the same deep navy flower motif.

Unique Chipboard Business Cards

Here are some business cards we printed for the photographer Lane Dittoe. His image and branding were so pretty that it was fun to rough it up a bit using extra thick chipboard, which as an added bonus is 100% recycled. If you haven't already, be sure to check out Lane's work. It's soft and romantic, while still being crisp and timeless.

Thanks Lane for letting me play around with your business cards.

New Business Card Design

Confession: at the last wedding industry event I attended, I conveniently forgot my business cards in the car. Truth be told, I was embarrassed by them. I liked the design, but the paper quality was not quite my style. I even upgraded the paper to "high quality", but I guess this online print company's high quality and my idea of high quality paper differ greatly. I corner rounded them and tried to stitch on them, but they just were never anything I was proud of. So, I finally had my local printer print a trial run on 100% cotton 110lb thick cardstock, and I'm pretty much in love. Of course I had to add a little decorative stitching to the bottom edge.

The Process

I'm picky. I'm a picky eater and drinker. My coffee has to be hot, so I spend the better part of my morning in front of the microwave reheating it. I order tacos without lettuce and cheeseburgers just the meat, cheese, and bun. I'm also picky in the sense that I like to pick things, and I sometimes get carried away in the calmness that comes from these repetitive actions. Next time you're stressed, try picking weeds :)

This translates to my stationery pieces when I have to apply adhesive to 4 sides of 300 pages and perfectly place each one of its mounting, and I still find myself enjoying what I'm doing. I thought it would be fun to share the behind the scenes process of an average-sized order. These save the date luggage tags are for the grand opening celebration of an airport in Florida.


1) Print and cut all pieces.

2) Adhere the fronts and backs of each tag. Each card is then trimmed and the top corners are cut.

3) Measure center, punch holes, insert and set grommet.

4) Cut suede cording to size and thread through each grommet.

5) Final product with all its subtle picky details :)

Stitched Rose Note cards

After a close friend from my former teaching career suffered the loss of her husband, I decided to create these note cards as a small gesture. She has always been someone I looked up to for her strength, but this loss is something a person should never have to suffer. Her family is accepting donations to build a trust fund for their two young boys, http://www.rememberingmatt.com/

little houses

It was so much fun constructing these little houses for a New York family's moving announcements. These are heavy kraft cardstock printed on both sides to be used as postcards to announce your move. This client loved polka dots and orange, so we fused those into one adorable house. Maybe the world would be a slightly better place if you walked the neighborhood and saw houses like this.

Here's a set of 5 "Will you be my bridesmaid?" cards" These are each hand cut, sewn and embellished and color customized. This set is black, white, and ice blue.

Will You Be My Bridesmaid?

So, my best friend since kindergarten is getting married and she asked me to be her bridesmaid and make the cards for the other girls. These aren't her actual ones, but her request inspired some new card designs. Thanks LeLe!
