Well happy new year to you! I can’t seem to find my groove here in 2024 yet. I don’t know if its the polar vortex? Currently a balmy -5 here in Denver. It seems like the kids are always off of school, which is making my routine feel all out of whack. However, what is NOT whack, are these 90s theme birthday party can koozies! I freggin love this party theme. 2 legit 2 quit is truly a transformative track from my childhood. Looking at you 4th grade talent show.
New product alert - Shot Glasses!
Well helloooo! This post has been a long time coming as I have been scheming to add new products to my shop for 2 years! Koozies have been my bread and butter for the last few years, but some new items are long overdue. I've slowly been rolling out tote bags and stadium cups, two highly requested items.
And now I'm proud to present.....DRUMROLL.... Shot glasses!! The perfect pint size party favor for a wedding, bachelorette party or birthday. I also think these would be really cute as a back home reception party for anyone eloping or having a destination wedding.
Stay tuned to the Etsy shop as I roll out these new shot glasses. If anyone has a design in mind they don't see in the shop, just shoot me a message. I love custom orders. And there is no extra charge for custom artwork.
Many many thanks to the oh so talented Ashley Kidder Photography for her mad skills. She was able to work with all the small and large products I threw at her with ease. It was a joy to work with her and I'm so pleased with all the images she took!
Collaboration with Charleston Weekender - prints for sale!
I was delighted to recently work with Liz Martin of the adorable lifestyle blog, Charleston Weekender. Liz asked me to design some koozies for an upcoming event featuring her signature phrase, "make every day feel like the weekend." I originally submitted 2 options and while she went with the more simple option, seen here (it went better with her logo):
Liz liked the other design so much we created an 8x10" print that is now available in her shop! More photos of the design to come soon, but here is a snippet.
Liz's instagram account for Charleston Weekender is pretty much the epitome of adorable. The bright pops of colors and thoughtful travel goodies make me want to hop on a plane and visit Charleston immediately.
Liz has such a great eye for design that her house was recently photographed for Houzz! Check out the feature here. I'm so inspired by her bold colors and I love her mix of whimsical items with budget friendly pieces from Target. Give her a follow!
Weekly Recap - New Baby Shower designs in the shop
Howdy and Happy Friday! Just a quick check in to recap what I've been working on this week. I'm busy wrapping up some outstanding freelance projects in the hopes I can take it easy the last week before baby girl's due date. In addition to a Golf Tournament signage package, I wrapped up this logo:
This logo is for an apartment complex in Tampa, FL. I love the beachy elegant feel and hopefully can get my hands on some collateral for this property soon. I am also working on the invitation design for the American Cancer Society - Salt Lake City's annual gala. I shared the event logo on my Instagram here. Since we have a handful of elements to incorporate in to the invitation, I suggested a pocket folder. This blue number from CardsandPockets.com should do the trick. Crossing my fingers and toes I can get the team to splurge on a custom wax seal as the envelope closure. I mean, how gorgeous are these stamps??
The last image is from WaxSeals.com's instagram page. You have to go check it out, just a gorgeous feed full of fun wedding and stationary ideas. In addition to my freelance projects I am SO excited to launch a ton of new products in my Etsy Shop. For now, here is a sneak peek of the items to come:
Also new to the shop are some additional Baby Shower designs. I've been selling a ton of these A Baby is Brewing koozies lately, so I thought I should add a few more baby themed designs to my arsenal. Have a great weekend!
Safari Theme Passport Stamps
A customer reached out to me on Etsy to create some unique passport style stamps for her son's 7th birthday. They are planning a zoo scavenger hunt party (kind-of awesome). Each kiddo gets a passport book and a map of the zoo with 7 destinations. For every stop they make they get a stamp in their passport. That is some hard core Mom planning, she gets an A+ in my book. Here is a look at the stamps I created for her:
I think these are a fun addition to any birthday invitation or envelope. I've added two of these safari stamps to my shop, available here. Leave a comment below if you would like to see more of these in the shop!
