CREATIVE PORTFOLIO :: C

I've decided to change the format of my posts to accommodate the challenge presented to me. Having designed for nearly 18 years... I have a large portfolio of creative projects and it's hard to narrow each letter of the alphabet to just one project.

Each project below has the related name, creative services listed, a link to view/read more, and another photo of the project. Enjoy!

MOMMY-TO-BEE STATIONERY

A while back I designed this logo for B MOHR Creative with an adorable little bumble bee... do you remember it?

Fast forward a few years... B MOHR Creative is expecting a baby in December, congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Mohr. I was invited to design thank you notes to match the baby shower invitations which incorporated the B MOHR Creative bumble bee. You gotta love when your design is loved so much they want to use it in other elements of their life.

We switched the bee to blue for symbolic reasons {hint hint}, chose chocolate brown envelopes (with white gel pen), and added a custom sticker seal for the return address and it was a good excuse to use the bee just one more time. I absolutely love the vertical stripes—good call Kim!

We printed half in yellow to match the invitations and the other half in blue... I absolutely love them both and couldn't pick a favorite if you asked!

TWIG-BOUND BOOKLET INVITATION

This invitation has been in the studio for months. We took our time and were able to incorporate most of the brides wants and needs into one fabulous invitation! They're getting married in a beautiful barn at Wine and Roses Country Estate in Auburn and wanted a rustic, yet elegant, invitation that sets the tone for their countryside wedding. We did it and she LOVES them!

Below is a collage of images showing you the outside features: twig-bound booklet with natural hemp cord and monogram closure tab with actual zig-zag stitching detail.

Here are some of the inside features as well: custom illustration of two sunflowers in a mason jar, light weight paper and translucent vellum pages, and information cards secured with burlap ribbon and tie.

Here's a closer look at the closure tab that keeps everything in place until the tab is broken when opening.

Once the closure tab is broken, you can flip through the booklet with ease.

First you see the introduction of the couple, their wedding date and custom sunflower graphic through a beautiful translucent vellum sheet; the next page is their official invitation and reception information; and the final page is a bible verse chosen by the bridal couple.

This is truly a custom invitation, aka: original. If you're frustrated with designers that claim to be custom because they allow you to choose A, B, C and D... stop searching and contact me today. I go to great lengths to create an invitation just the way you want it! That includes sewing zig-zag stitches onto a closure tab! Yep... we did all the bindery and assembly on this invitation. Our bride received her invitations ready to stuff and mail! We're a one-stop-shopping invitation studio... please, spread the word!

ORIGINAL ARTWORK

Sometimes I amaze myself! The back story to this artwork goes something like this... one of my bridal clients first wanted a sketched mason jar incorporated into her invitation to compliment her country setting wedding, which was easy enough, I found one on a stock illustration website. Then she came back to me and asked if we could add sunflowers to the mason jar... well, that wasn't so easy to find as a stock "illustration". In fact none exist. To the sketchbook I went.

I generally sketch for concept, not final artwork, so that's why I'm so amazed with myself today! I pencil sketched this image, scanned it, cleaned it up, imported it into Illustrator, auto traced it and then added color... and here you have it! Very time consuming, but I'm happy to say it's an ORIGINAL and I love it! Cheers.
