{product} Modern Alchemists: D.L. & Co.

Product design and packaging inspires me daily. The branding behind D.L. & Co. is beautiful and classically designed. I love the whole vintage gothic look and feel. Since I am sucked into their product visually hopefully it smells good too!

This design is softened up but still gorgeous.
It looks like a little dessert gift box!

The man behind D.L. & Co. is Mr. Douglas Little. He is very intriguing and daring. I love the when designers can break away from the norm, push the limits and test consumers desires in a way that arouses curiosity and pulls us in. Very nice.

 

{Gracias} I’m Thankful For . . .

The people in my life. Without them, life would be very boring and lonely.

My family. We are the three amigos and always will be. Their love and support is amazing and talking to them reminds me that life is all about love and happiness. We are each others strength.

Jason. The most amazing man I know. I love him and he makes me laugh.
I could go on and on about him. He is absolutely amazing {and hot!}.

My friends. The old, the new and the all forgiving. The laughter, the tears and ultimately the loyalty. I love them and I am truly grateful for them.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Hope you enjoy the day of rest and festivities!

{printed} Paper Cut Industries Business Cards

I have been so busy this month with loads of stationery designs and my own personal branding of Paper Cut Industries. I am almost done with the complete makeover of my current site. I have had the luck of finding an amazing website designer who is both talented and super fun. I couldn’t ask for more! G. Torres is the brainpower behind Indie Design Studio and Earthy Beginnings. Not only that, she is a mother. This woman can handle it all! Hopefully we will be done with the website soon and it will go live for all to see. For now, here is a teaser for what is to come.

Last month I donated some goodies for a Vintage Halloween Bash thrown by The Stylish Soiree. I placed my business card in every package and I ran out! So a new order was in place. My new business cards match my website completely. I have been working hard on my branding and now, a brand is born!

A gorgeous Victorian pattern is on the back. The front is a matte black with taupe browns and grays throughout. I am keeping with the accent aqua blue too.

{printed} Goldfish Wedding Stationery Orders

So many orders have come in for my Goldfish wedding stationery. It all began as a greeting card and now so many couples have requested it for their wedding themes! This past week I got to print and ship several packages. The two color palettes we used were gold and lavender and navy blue with a golden orange. They looked amazing!

{Halloween} YSL Masquerade Ball NYC

Hope everyone had an awesome Halloween. I love the holiday for all the effort put into costumes. I give stink eyes to anyone who doesn’t dress up, I mean, it’s so easy to pick up a prop and instantly be in costume! Geez, but for those over-achievers on the holiday I bow down, and embrace all the creativity and effort that is shown. I love it!

I have always wanted to attend a masquerade ball. One where masks are mandatory if nothing else and voila a masquerade ball is born! For one party this year, I actually brought my red feathered Mardi Gras mask, but I would have loved to see this as a party theme across the board.

Leave it to YSL to handle it. They held a huge masquerade ball in an old church in New York this year to promote their new fragrance YSL Parisienne. Apparently this was also an event to send of five bloggers to travel the country on a Parisienne experience with YSL. LUCKY!

Here are some amazing photos from the event.

{custom} Rachel & Boris Destination Wedding Invitations

Last week before I took a little trip to San Francisco, I was able to complete and deliver these beauties to Rachel. If you remember the Save the Dates then you know these were going to be amazing color palette of chocolate dipped in a sea of aqua and white. Such a delicious combo! We used chocolate pocket folds to hold all the elements. We kept with the aqua colored envelopes, and once you open the envelope, their emblem was raised on the cover. Such a treat on whats to come!

The invitation was on the inside front flap accompanied by a double-sided Map card, Accommodations card and a RSVP postcard. All printed on crisp white linen card stock. Don’t forget Rachel ordered a custom rubber stamp to make labeling these envelopes a cinch!

 

I love doing custom work and Rachel is just a doll to work with. So much more to come! Think favors and welcome cards. Oh yeah! Such a completely detailed event. What do you think?
