Michelle & Richie's Baby Sprinkle Invitation

2011-07-18T12:53:00.000-07:00

My sister Michelle and her husband Richard are expecting their 2nd child in July of 2011.
Because it’s been 5 years since my nephew was born and the first grand-daughter in the family, I decided they deserved another party. Since they still kept most items from Noah and only needed a few new things; we went with calling it a “Sprinkle” instead of a “Shower”. Michelle wrote the poem on the tag and of course chose the enclosure and colors she liked from Envelopments.
Congrats Michelle & Richie! Cant wait to meet Emma Lily!!

Meghan & Stephen

Meghan & Stephen came to us, to design their invitations for their May 2011 Wedding. They chose a 5x7 Flat Card matted twice with green and blue and asked for whimsical scroll work coming out from the corners. We coordinated matching Hotel and Directional Cards along with the envelopes and Rsvp Card.

Paperkat Design LLC was fortunate to be presented in an article, featured in Rivertown’s May 2011 issue. It’s a local magazine for the Rockland County Area. We would like to thank Scott Bush for providing the photos of our work and Tom Riley for the story.

Marisa & Todd

2011-05-05T16:19:00.001-07:00

Marisa and Todd were recommended to us by their Wedding Photographer (and mine), Scott Bush. Although, they have already purchased their wedding invitations, they needed a designer to create a 20x30 Table Seating Chart which they were using to direct their guests to their tables instead of escort cards. Scott provided us with four of their engagement photos and this was their favorite.

Castle on the Hudson Wedding Showcase

2011-04-22T10:53:00.001-07:00

On April 12, 2011 my sister and I showcased our work at the Castle on the Hudson, a beautiful venue in Westchester County, NY. It was a small and intimate wedding expo which drew in only those registered at this specific venue. But we felt it was nicely paced and we got to spend more time with each bride to discuss her wedding details. We want to thank Scott for allowing us to be apart of it and hope that he invites us back next time.

Chloe's 1st Birthday My dear goddaughter turned one this February 2011. Originally her mom, Jennifer, was not going to have a party, so she didnt need invites. But at the last hour, she changed her mind and quickly ordered some through Snapfish. I'll forgive you this time! But she did ask me to make the tags for her lollipop favors and then create a thank you card mimicking the invite.

Christina and Ryan Christina and Ryan came to us back in the summer of 2010 for their May wedding invitations. Destination: Jamaica. This couple was very easy going which made designing their invites a breeze and a lot of fun. They wanted colors of fuchsia, orange and green and selected two different patterns, from Envelopments original artwork, for us to play with. We gave them a variety of choices; but they went with the Magnolia pattern design. The invite was a double matted 5X7 Flat Card, with a luggage tag inspired rsvp card with recycled string looped through the top. We included a travel and accommodations card which were all held together by plain vellum wrap band. The second photo is another option we gave to the couple, which they did not choose. It had a mailable enclosure with a wrapped label, a tag for the vellum wrap with a cute saying and a postcard style rsvp card.

30th Birthday Invitation

2011-03-08T15:00:00.000-08:00

A co-worker asked me to design this invitation for her husband's 30th birthday party. She asked me to design around the text and photo she provided for me.

Kimberly's Sweet 16 Invitation

2011-02-20T08:46:00.000-08:00

This piece was a donation from Paperkat Design. Sadly Kimberly’s mom, Ursula, passed in 2010. So the planning for her daughters Sweet 16, were put on hold.
Ursula’s friends, decided to join together to plan and pay for the Sweet 16, she and her daughter dreamed of. Our heart went out to Kimberly, especially since we knew her mom, and we too offered our services to her.
So far the largest of our invitations, Kimberly decided on a 7x7 Envelopefold Enclosure with a double matted invite inside. She asked for purple and gold and wanted an old world feel, so we sealed the enclosure with a traditional gold Sealing Wax marked with the initial “K”.
It was a pleasure to contribute to Kimberly’s Sweet Sixteen and we hope her party was everything her and her mom hoped for.

Chloe Hope

On June 13, 2010 our dearest friend Jennifer Baptized her daughter Chloe Hope. And we were more than happy to create her invitations for her. She chose a paisley pattern in her signature Pink and matched it with the traditional Bon Bon box.

Calya Marie

Cayla came to us back in July of 2010, to do her Baby Shower Invitations. She liked a pre-existing design from Envelopments (our paper supplier) but we do not like to duplicate. So we used the same Envelopefold Enclosure and images like she wanted, but changed it up a bit.

Melissa & Michael
In the fall of 2009, Melissa and Michael came to us through a mutual friend. (Who we are currently designing invitations for) They not only needed Invitations for their 10/10/10 Wedding, but Menus for every table and the Escort Cards for their guests. This so far has been one of our biggest projects. Not because of the number of guests; but for the wonderful detail on every piece.

New work!

2010-04-28T17:52:00.000-07:00

Hey Everyone, I know Its been a while since I posted any thing new but believe me its not due to a lack of work. I been kept quite busy and I just haven’t gotten around to photographing any of it. So thank you Michelle for taking control of that.

>> A year ago in March, a client came to me for a double shower invite. She liked the one i did for my friend Annemarie's baby shower and asked if i could change it to suit the two ladies. One of the moms-to-be, knew what she was having, but the other wanted to keep it a surprise. So, the wording for the invite proved challenging, but we always come up with something.

>> Last summer, I designed a child’s 2nd birthday party with a fiesta theme. Rachel (the mom) chose not to have it matted and instead opted for a printed border effect. But I couldn’t resist the beautiful paisley design, so I photographed the matted sample.

>> Then in October the birth of my baby came, Tanner Michael; and I decided since the holidays were coming up, why not combine it with his announcement.

>> Danielle came to me for invites for her April 2010 wedding. She described it as a beach wedding, with hanging Chinese lanterns, tulips and the colors of coral, green and ivory.
I gave her two slightly different samples. The one she chose was the green and ivory flat invite with a vellum band enclosure. The other sample for Danielle, had a coral border and I used a raised affect in the matting.

>> The most recent project was another personal one. I designed Tanner’s Baptism invitations, escort cards and of course I couldn’t resist the coordinating favor boxes.

And right now I am currently working on an October wedding invitation and a few small projects, but it wouldn’t be fair to the clients to post any pics yet. So please come back and see what is new.

Welcome!
