Score, Fold, Glue... Tada!! Making boxes

One of the many reasons I love Pinterest is it reminded me how to make boxes. I can't believe I was looking at boxes for a stationery order when I have all this card stock and can make my own.

When I saw this tutorial, all the boxes I made in school came rushing back. Silly me. And I have this cool flower cutter that I haven't been able to find a use for until now. 

So excited about making inexpensive and original packaging.

Stationery not stationary

I received a message via Etsy about some custom stationery and it was just the push I needed to make a few easily ordered sets.  This custom DJC card was done for a customer, but I also made sets with 4 different design choices.

January Smanuary

After a fantastic Christmas Holiday with family and a super fun New Years with friends, it was time to get busy again. I'm in the middle of trying to organize all my printing supplies, but needed a break to make 2012 Valentine Day cards.  Here are some new ones!  Hoping I get into a Valentine fair and sell lots. And since I had red on the press, I reprinted my two deer in heart cards.

Monogram Business Cards

This was a whirlwind and fun order. I received a call Thursday night from this gentlemen.
He wanted business cards to take with him out of town this week. We met Thursday night to
discuss design and they were printed tonight! I really like the way they turned out.

And I also loved that I tried a few different colors, sent him proofs and because
of today's awesome technology he could get right back to me with approval.

New Wedding Invitation Designs

Available on our Etsy page. 

These are professionally printed using a 4-color process on
100 lb recycled white matte stock with matching envelopes. Not Letterpress.

Some of the Designs can be changed slightly for Letterpress.

Jolly Father Christmas

This Jolly Ole Saint Nick was created under my mom's request. She love a jolly Santa on her Christmas  cards.  I printed plenty extra without the personalization for you!  

They are on Etsy sold separately or in sets of 8 for $20.
Also, have sets of last years jolly Santa design in sets of 8 for $20. 

Christmas Trees make my spirits bright

It felt a little strange printing these Christmas Cards before Halloween, but I'm glad I got a head start. This was my first attempt at some many overlapping colors on one card. I'm really loving the combination of colors and this amazing Savoy paper. My Holiday cards have come a long way from 2010. I also learned that I went a bit too fine with the lines on some of the ornaments. The ink spread and they just look like solid bulbs. I think they needed more white space. 

Overall, I'm super thrilled and I hope Owens Electric like them! I printed some without the Owens. They are available on my Etsy site as single cards or Sets of 8 for $20.

New Video! Printing Telegram Thank you cards

It's a little rough considering I just started playing around with Imovie on my new computer. I was inspired by Coury and I think I did a fairly decent job for my first try.

Next time, less mumbling and more smiling... I promise.

I love this whole set of invitations, place cards, and Thank You cards. It was a great time working with this couple. I wish them many years of happiness.
