New fabric designs available soon!

I have some very exciting news — my designs will soon expand into the quilting and sewing industry thanks to Modern Yardage, and I couldn’t be more thrilled!

Modern Yardage is a brand new digital textile printing manufacturer, based in the US. The designers have been very welcoming, friendly and helpful, and I already feel right at home. So far I've uploaded one collection for printing, and my strike-offs should be arriving any day, and I can't wait! I look forward to sharing a sneek peak of the collection sometime soon. To learn more about Modern Yardage and their fabulous design collections, click here.

Graduation announcements, invites and more

Celebrate this great milestone with stylish chevrons, chalkboards, sea breezy circles, refreshing florals, and modern modular designs, available now at Snapfish. All designs have matching thank you cards to go with them.

Artwork that you can easily customize

Have you ever wanted to modify existing artwork by changing colors, resizing or repositioning the piece? Well at JuicyCanvas you can do just that, and it's pretty cool! I was recently invited to add my designs to their curated collection, and you can check them out here. I had a lot of fun customizing designs from their collection of talented, global artists, and it's super easy to do! Once you are happy with your creation, you can have it printed on canvas or prints. If you are not happy with your masterpiece, you can always order the artwork as is. Here are some of my unaltered designs:

At JuicyCanvas you can take an artist's artwork and 'automagically' unlock it for further personalization and experimentation. How fun is that?

New Gift Card Designs You Can Personalize

Here are some of my gift card designs available at HP. The site officially re-launched early February, and includes hundreds of free designs with greetings that you can customize before printing from your home printer. It's super easy to do, just pick a design, select a store and amount, personalize, and print, and wala! — you have a greeting card and gift card in one!

The individual artist pages are still in progress, and as soon as mine is up I will share the link along with more designs. For now, you can find these designs by searching the various categories here.

New love themed designs

Well I've been sick as a dog the last two weeks and haven't felt like designing a thing until today. So, I thought it would be fun to create some typographic valentine's and here's what I came up with (see first four designs). The Wanna Get Kinky design was resurrected from an old card I created several years ago. I just love that goofy concept and thought I'd give it a different approach. The bottom three cards are designs I created before the sick bug kicked in.

You can find these designs on pingg and snapfish. I might design a few more in the near future, so please check back to see what's new. Happy Valentine's Day and stay healthy!!!

New gift card designs with personalized greetings

This past summer HP contacted me asking if I'd like to design some gift cards for their new gift card initiative, and I was thrilled to whip up some designs for them. The site launched a few weeks ago, and includes hundreds of free designs with greetings that you can customize before printing from your home printer. Just pick a design, select a store and amount, personalize, and print.

Following are my holiday designs, which have the same look and feel of my Snapfish and Swizzlestix cards. My artist page won't be up until March, so to get to my designs you must sift through all the other great looking designs.

I also have some birthday, baby, valentine's and congrats gift cards on the site that I will share later. If you would like to give a gift card with your own personalized greeting, then check out these cards. Gift giving has never been easier!

Tis the season for new designs

Now that we're heading into the holidays, I can’t wait to decorate our white Christmas trees with our colorful collection of vintage and retro inspired ornaments and string up lights around the house. We always have fun baking holiday sweets, making festive cocktails, and cozying up on the couch watching movies while the place sparkles and shines!

I've been creating holiday cheer all summer with all sorts of new designs. This first set is available now at Snapfish, and some will be available at Zazzle as well.

InkGarden now offers ornately cut cards and paper ornaments, which I think are really neat! Here are some of my designs.

And lastly, here is a design that I created for Paperstyle, which includes two different photo cards, an address label, envelope sticker, recipe card and gift label.

I’m sure I will be adding more festive designs to my collection, so please check back often to see what’s new. Cheers!

Hello and thank you very much

Spooky, modern and playful halloween invites and cards

Yay! My favorite time of year has arrived, and I can't wait to drag out some halloween decorations to spooktify the place. We especially love how our pumpkin lights create a dark and moody ambiance during our scary movie marathons! Halloween is definitely my favorite season for designing cards and invitations, and even though I've been busy with other design work to create as much as I'd like, I did have some time to create a small collection, which are available at Snapfish and Zazzle. Here are some of the designs:
