Camellia

What could be a better card to a gentle bride for her simple elegant wedding than a card with Camellia? I love to mix monochromatic colors with a touch of accent color, it is simple but not boring.



The flower is in cream with a dash of green, sitting on top of a pure white cotton card to bring out the softness of the cream color. To elaborate the celebration spirit yet stay within the simple elegant theme, a warmer cream card with champagne shimmer was added.
The card was as soft and sweet as the soft-spoken bride.



Greeting was pressed blank on another small piece of card to create layer and subtle statement without being too loud.



Finally, the card got a personal stamp from me.

Sweet as a cupcake

Over the weekend I had to create a birthday card to celebrate the first milestone birthday of a little girl named Chloe, she is such a sweet baby, always smiling, giggling and playful.

As I was trying to come up with a theme that would better describe her personality, I thought of a cupcake. Not only I love cupcakes personally, but I thought she is just as adorable, fun and little as a cupcake!



A little fuzzy cupcake was perfect to take center stage, it's as cuddly as the birthday girl. Bottom corners were rounded off to add a bit more fun flare.



The card itself measured 4 x 5.5, my personal favorite size for cards. It's not too small where you have limited space for creativity and not too big where it looks empty, or, often awkwardly spaced out. Plus, it's a perfect size to print on my Kelsey 5 x 8 press.

worked on a sample for a groom today, he asked for a layered insert style invitation, this is what i did for him.


the invitation opens vertically


the first card, smallest one, will be map, then rsvp, and then with the largest one being the announcement.


the largest card is inserted into a pocket, and two slits are made on the pocket to make room for two smaller cards. i kept some space in between each cards to emphasize the layered look.

a simple tag is used, but can be replaced with any design request.

i think it's also nice if open horizontally

Baby Elephant

to announce the arrival of a baby boy, i did this simple 5" x 5" white card with an adorable grey elephant in felt. it doesnt have the usual "it's a boy" stamped on the cover of the card, but i liked how the grey elephant could also be good for a baby girl.



i think a skinny border around the elephant made the card look more elegant than kidish :)

A lime color theme wedding called for a lime color wedding card




loved the details on the wedding cake




a border was created to bring out the dimension of the cake

Yellow I Do

Worked on a simple wedding invitation for a bride, it was for her city hall wedding in NYC. Since the bride had only couple friends joining her and the groom, she opted for a fun coaster style wedding invitation.


The size of the card was 5" x 5", and the color was sunshine yellow with shimmer midnight blue, very happy and upbeat, just like the bride.



I liked the thickness of the paper and the felt texture of the paper. It picked up the font very nicely.

Save-the-Date: Jenny

this is a nice little save-the-date to stick to the fridge :) not only it has names of the couple, but also come with its own little calendar and the date clearly marked. the theme color of the wedding is acutally sage rather than pumpkin, pumpkin is picked to indicate season of the wedding, Fall, and to compliment the green :)


size of the card is 4.5 x 4.5, heavy pumkin cardstock layered with a smooth matt cream cardstock. to bring out the satin texture of the pumpkin cardstock, a satin ribbon in sage is added to complete the card.




the ribbon is functional too! it held the names of the bride and groom-to-be to the card :)
