funny valentine

As some of you may know from my previous company Kanvas Ink., our greeting cards were anything but ordinary! I love this quirky little Valentine's Day card...much better than the cheesy ones for sale out there. From Atypical Letterpress {via Ill Seen, Ill Said}.

feeling silhouettey

Silhouettes have been a huge design trend in home decor lately. I love the idea of a couple incorporating their silhouettes into their wedding stationery - a nice, personal touch! Sometimes silhouettes can look a bit creepy, but I thought the below silhouettes were done beautifully {by KC and Sara as featured on Once Wed}.

And take a peek at this beautiful silhouette cut out of a leaf...exquisite! This is by silhouette artist Jenny Lee Fowler.
I was shocked to find out that some of these silhouette artists cut the silhouettes directly from paper {or leaves!} without even drawing them first. This boggles my mind...how can they be so accurate?! Check out this Silhouette artist from the U.K. who attends weddings and events and cuts silhouettes on the spot. {For a bit of a chuckle, below his YouTube video, see the comment left from his embarrassed, over-critical teenaged daughter perhaps?! Just a guess here, but it made me laugh}

inBloom studio stationery

Sometimes I have the need to write a little note to a client - in a mailing, if I'm sending samples, or even just a simple thank you. Recently I printed my logo on these little scalloped recycled notecards...perfect for sending just a quick little jot! {click the photo for a closer view}

holiday card creation

Just a sample of some holiday cards I created this week. I just love the colour pairing of robin's egg blue and red - it is so fresh! I am signing off for the weekend...wishing you a wonderful one!

holiday cards already?

Recently I was lucky enough to be commissioned by a new company in the U.S. to create some custom holiday card designs. The company hasn't launched this application yet, so the name is still under wraps! It will be similar though, to Tiny Prints where customers can choose from a bunch of holiday card styles, and then upload their personal photos and change the message text. Here is just one of the designs I created. They are starting this season with holiday cards, but will also move into baby announcements, etc. I am excited for the launch! I'll keep you posted...

pink ribbons

I'm proud to say that inBloom Studio's 'Pink Ribbon' cards have been featured in the October 2008 issue of Style at Home magazine! Inspired by my mom, these purty little notecards work well as 'hellos' or 'thank yous'. I've even had someone order them as invitations for her mother's celebratory end-of-breast-cancer-treatment tea party! 10% of the sale of these cards is donated to Willow Breast Cancer Support Canada. Drop me a line if you are interested in purchasing them, or else take a peek at them in my Etsy store.
