Wedding "Thank You" Cards

My good friends Megs & Grant got married at the end of April, and being such a super organised chick, Megsie was ready to send her Thank You Cards out only a couple of months later. (I only just got mine out from December !) Megsie worked with her photographer to produce the cards, but asked me to design the back for her. Staying with the colours from the wedding, I chose a soft beige and brown theme, which I think worked out beautifully with the front picture. We got our card in the mail last week, and it printed perfectly on a soft laminted card!

(Standard Greeting Card size, colour matte laminated print)

As I mentioned earlier - we only got our Thank You Cards sent out from December. Life just gets away from you sometimes! I used the same design templates from our invitations, and on the back I created a "Postcard" design to not only make it easier to post, but give me a chance to put more than just one photo on the card. The only thing I did forget...was to mention the card was from "Simon & Jess Schulz"! Of course most of our friends and family who were there on the day didn't need to be told who's wedding it was, but my poor Nan & Pop Eckert weren't able to make it. They rung my parents a few days after I'd sent the Thank Yous to ask if they knew who's wedding it was? Haha, bless them!!

I will be designing a range of Wedding Thank Yous very soon, but if you are interested in having some designs done up in the meantime, then please feel free to shoot me an email with your details: damseldesign1@gmail.com

Designs, June - July 2010

It's been a busy last couple of months thanks to my friends and family who (once again) have kept me busy with assorted design orders.

As I am still finalising the design templates, I thought at least I could blog some of my recent designs to show what kind of styles are being created...

Design: Birthday Invitation
Description: my friend Emma wanted to combine her birthday this year with a fundraiser for Parkinsons SA. Emma's birthday is...lets say...a must-attend event each year, and this year will be no acception. Celebrating for two great reasons, the invitations were to focus on the letter "P", a (P)arty for (P)arkinsons! The size needed to be something small and versatile, as most of the invites will most probably find their home on someone's fridge.

Design: Farewell Card

Description: The Long Plains Netball Club wanted to farewell a good friend and committed club member, Kate Baker, with a card for everyone to sign. The card had to be big enough to fit lots of farewell notes, as well as include a few photos of Kate in the netball scene. (Image show: top image is front of card, printed as gloss, bottom image is back of card printed as standard suitable for writing on)

Design: Business cards & Letterheads

Description: My sister Rebecca recently started her own Marriage Celebrant business after obtaining her Certificate earlier this year. Bec works alot in the Clare Valley & Barossa (South Australia) areas, and she has a major advantage of being much younger than most other celebrants in the business. For a business image, Bec wanted to create something that was bright and uplifting.
