Snowflakes for the New Year

2009-12-02T13:57:00.004-05:00

I found this glittery lace cardstock and knew it'd be perfect for this New Year's Eve party invitation. I combined it with bling'd Bazzill and used brads to keep it all together. And, just like snowflakes...each one is a bit different!

Thanks, Elayne!

Pocket Invitation with Cupcakes!

2009-11-20T22:18:00.005-05:00

Another sweet set of pocket invitations for a sweet girl who is turning one! I love making these pocket invitations. What can I make for you?

Pocket Invitation in Pink

2009-11-06T18:40:00.005-05:00

Here's another sample of a pocket invitation. The client wanted pink, pink, and more pink for her daughter's Pinkalicious birthday party. These pocket invitations are made using textured Bazzill cardstock, pretty pattern paper, and vellum.

Pocket invitations lend themselves to so many different events. Cute birth announcements, birthday parties, "save the date" notices (imagine the engagement photo on the front), moving cards...the possibilities are endless.

Lucky Me tags

2009-08-21T16:46:00.003-04:00

Dawn Marie is a friend of mine, and she has a neat line of purses, key fobs, and other accessories. I love the purses, and I am a fan of the key fob. It slips right over my wrist...no more digging in my purse.

She asked me to make tags for her fobs. I made a bunch and put them in a clear glass jar from IKEA. I love her colors- hot pink, black, and white.

American Idol party - tag invitation

2009-05-06T13:45:00.005-04:00

I love this tag invitation! Elayne is a huge fan of American Idol, and asked me to make invitations for a "Girls' Night" finale party. The finished size of this tag is 5.5" x 3.75". I added self-adhesive rhinestones for a bit of bling.

Enjoy your girls' night in, Elayne! Thanks :)

Rachel's Bat Mitzvah Invitation

2009-02-28T11:41:00.007-05:00

These invitations are the same style as the dual flap cards I made for another order. Rachel and I worked together, along with my sister-in-law, to choose the colors and style that fit her event. In addition to this invitation, there will be an enclosure detailing the reception. The finished size of this invitiation is 5x7, closed.

Rachel's Bat Mitzvah

2009-02-26T16:12:00.005-05:00

My niece Rachel has turned that magical age and we are celebrating her Bat Mitzvah in a few months. Rachel asked me to make her invitations, and I was thrilled! We spent time over the Christmas holiday picking out paper together with her mom (my SIL) and it was fun!

Rachel asked to have two different colors for the invitations for her friends. These are the same, save for the color difference. Specific details have been removed for public posting.

I'll post the invitations for family and friends in a little bit.

Final size of this invitation is 4x9.

Dual Flap Card

2008-12-03T22:47:00.003-05:00

This card was fun to create! It ties with a ribbon, held in place with a buckle/ribbon slider. When untied, the flaps open to reveal the invitation inside.

Gatefold Cards

2008-08-30T11:25:00.002-04:00

This is a "gate fold" invitation. The size of this card can vary depending on the event. This particular invitation was for a christening.

When the ribbon is untied, the interior is displayed. I used the same patterned paper on the inside as I did on the outside.
The client requested that I create a thank-you card that would allow them to send a picture of their child. I used the same color carstock and patterned paper for the base of the card, and sewed vellum on the front with the sentiment pre-printed.

New Invitation Style!

square with vellum
Originally uploaded by karen.jersey

I like working with square invitations. This one was for my daughter's birthday. I chose a glitter-embellished vellum, and used a brad to hold a coordinating cardstock paper for the party information. The possibilities are endless, and can be customized to any event.
