RAINBOW & SUNSHINE INVITATIONS + SOME SHOP NEWS!

Last month we celebrated our little Ellie's second birthday. She is such a spunky ray of sunshine and we love her dearly (of course!). I will share our casual birthday get together in the next week or so, but today I wanted to show you the invitations I designed for her as they are now up in the shop. 

You may have noticed I have changed my shop a little over the new year break too. I really love to have something tangible in my hand at the end of the day. And I have shared before about the tension I felt selling printables where I have no control of how my work turns out. So...

All my invitations and stationery suites (wedding stuff coming soon!) are now printed for you and shipped straight to your door ready for delivering. Good news right? No more fussing around getting those printables printed. By doing the printing for you, I can guarantee the quality and make sure your invitations are perfect for your event.

I'm really excited about it actually, as it means I get back to my graphic design-on-paper kind of roots. They are printed on really luxuriously heavy, uncoated card stock too, and I know you'll love them!

You can find these new Rainbow invitations as well as other new designs (as well as some old faithfuls!) in my shop here. 

PEPPA PIG :: CUSTOM DESIGN

One of my lovely sponsors here at Polkadot Prints, Pauline from The Party Studio, also owns Sophisticated Yum an event styling business. She asked me to custom design some stationery for her daughters upcoming 6th birthday back in June. Amelia wanted a pink and purple Peppa Pig themed party. (Have you seen the TV show of this funny pig family?)

Of course there are licensing issues when it comes to character parties, so I designed just using the Peppa Pig style of illustration. It was a fun challenge as it's not my natural style, but I think it was a strong enough association to convey the theme and set the mood for the party! From the invite there were matching buffet labels and thank you tags.

Pauline really went to town with themed food table and decorations for this party. So much fun!

I love how she picked up different elements from the show and invite - gumboots, muddy puddles, apples cookies, and that cake! So gorgeous!


Pauline you did such an amazing job! You can read more about the details on her blog here & here.
You can also find lots of the supplies used in this party in Pauline's online store. Thanks for sharing Pauline!
