that's a wrap!

I know there is a sneak peak of these two posts below but they came out so well I think they deserved their own spotlight.

Envelope wraps with guests addressing printed on each one, with the 'wrap' part going around the back with the return address.

I love this color scheme, can you imagine getting this in your mailbox?!

katy

Katy deserves a shout out and here it is. She has been with me since May-ish while she is off for summer break from college. This place would have crumbled by now if it wasn't for her. Just for fun I took some behind the scenes shots of her last week working on the hot pink and brown invite....

Thanks for all your help!

rocky mountain chic

The studio is absolutely buzzing at the moment because of this job and amazing client!
Alyssa's wedding is in Colorado.We tied in the bright color scheme with mountain 'chic-ness' and the results are fantastic! These look amazing in person and her guests will love receiving them in the mail. The envelope wraps are just stunning in this color! Love it....

Have a wonderful holiday weekend!

inspired by....

this:

Every day – together with the sun – God gives us a moment in which it is possible to change everything that makes us unhappy. Every day we try to pretend that we don’t realize that moment, that it doesn’t exist, that today is just the same as yesterday and will be the same as tomorrow. But if you pay attention, you can discover the magic instant. It may be hiding at the moment when we put the key in the door in the morning, in the silence right after dinner, in the thousand and one things that all seem the same to us. This moment exists – a moment when all the strength of the stars passes through us and lets us work miracles.

cool casual wedding

I just love it when I get to work on fun different projects. This couple is active in the new orleans music scene locally here in Chicago. We used that cool accordion line drawing to drive this piece and the result is casual and funky!

With a non traditional invite, the response card perforates off for an easy postcard mailer.

Abigail

made these sweet little notes for baby abby. her christening is this weekend and I thought I would help her mom out by making some thank yous. Nan, I hope you like them!

stay tuned for the launch of Greenstar Paperie, these might just make it into the shop!

chandelier + yummy pattern = fab shower invite

Love this design, it's so simple, but has HUGE impact!

Will look great on the guest's fridges!

sidebar...working on her wedding invite as well, if the shower invite isn't enough of a sneak peak, the invite will be even more delicious!

stay tuned.....

debbie, debbie, debbie

-debbie- is actually a lovely gal that I went to high school with! shes known me forever and she probably has old band pictures stashed somewhere that she could use as evidence, that's right I said 'band pictures'!

Anyhoo, her invite looks amazing and I have to give props to Debbie for the amazing and fun color scheme on this one! Hot pink and orange, LOVE IT! And that paisley backing just makes this really chic and gives it that finishing touch.

Thanks debbie for letting us put together this invite for you!

Happy Wedding!

a 'zanghi' no more . . .

The below invite is for a very good friend of mine, in fact I was maid of honor in this wedding. Erin and I have been friends since college, so when it came time for invites she knew I would help her 100%. These were some really easy decisions for Erin she knew exactly what she wanted. Gorgeous tiffany blue and chocolate shimmer made this elegant and modern at the same time. I really like the way the placement of the names and date on the outside of the enclosure had kind of a 'peak a boo' effect when her guests' opened them. Her day tuned out to be absolutely lovely!

Black, White, & Silver

this client is getting married in Vegas, but having a super swank cocktail reception when they return. we went with a small square invite with lovely details. from the cool opal paper to the luscious satin ribbon. AND the best detail of all? The black linen envelope! And of course, Sara addressed them beautifully!
