Kids Party Invitations, Part 3

This week, I’ve selected a few more kids party invitations to feature – ranging from girly to goofy.  First up, these playful yet sophisticated (well, at least as sophisticated as you can be for a 2 year-old) birthday party invitations from Chellé Paperie.  The tiny celebrant has a fondness for poodles, so the ladies at Chellé Paperie incorporated that love into the invitation in the form of a poodle silhouette – what a fun idea!

Next up, these garden-inspired letterpress invitations from Jennifer at The Paper Peony.  Jennifer kept things girly and fun with a pink and green color palette, as well as birds, butterflies, and little vines and flowers throughout the invitation:

The Dr. Seuss books were some of my favorites to read when I was a kid, so I was super excited when Amber from Sweet Life Designs sent over these Cat in the Hat-themed invitations that she did for her son’s first birthday!  Amber included a photo collage of her son wearing a Cat in the Hat hat along with the invitation, all packaged together in a red box with crinkly blue stuffing to represent Thing 1 and Thing 2.  So cute!

Lovely Die Cut Business Cards

Happy Monday everyone!  I always like to start the week off with something pretty, so I was thrilled when Paola from Just Chic Events, a wedding and event planning firm in Los Angeles, sent over her gorgeous new letterpress business cards.  Paola worked with Katie from Poppy Flower Press to create a lovely pink and gray die cut business card:

From Paola:  I recently went through quite a rehaul on my company’s branding and decided to get new business cards to go along with the new look and feel of the entire site and blog.  The business cards needed to be romantic and soft, but clean and focused – and really make a statement.

I am obsessed with letterpress and actually made my logo quite simple because I knew that I’d want to go that direction for my business cards.  I also knew that I really wanted my cards to stand out.

I decided to get them custom die cut to follow the frame shape of my logo.  Katie at Poppy Flower Press did the design work and letterpress printing.  They turned out spectacular!!

Congratulations on the new cards Paola – they’re just beautiful!

{happy weekend!}

Happy Friday everyone!  The siren song of the weekend is absolutely calling my name today.  I’m off to go check out a new-to-me farmer’s market (I can’t get enough of all the amazing summer fruit and produce!) and then get the house ready for a visit from my husband’s parents this weekend.  I’m looking forward to showing his parents around our new neighborhood (it’s their first visit since we moved back in January) and to a visit to one or two of the Smithsonian museums (we usually save trips to museums for a visit from out-of-town family or friends).  But in the meantime…
