Bunting Card Design

Published on October 3, 2012 in Crafts and PosePrints. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , .

For awhile, I have been in love with the DIY bunting fad that’s taken over Pinterest and birthday party signs and holiday decor.  I’ve created bunting for PosePrints’ 5th Birthday Party, a couple of trade shows and Valentine’s Day.  And while I’ve only bunted (is that a word?) with paper, I’m set on trying to sew some cute fabric bunting in the near future.  Until then, I just added a “Bunting” design to PosePrints’ card options:

{First Birthday Invitation on Bunting Design}

{Rehearsal Dinner Invitation on Bunting Design}

{Baby Shower Thank You Note on Bunting Design}

As with everything on the PosePrints website, we can change up any of the colors free of any additional charge.  Want blue and yellow bunting, only striped bunting, all-pink bunting?  You got it.  Just place your order and let us know what changes you would like to see (in the Comments section at check-out) and we’ll send you a proof to approve before we print.

Pumpkins Card

Published on September 14, 2012 in PosePrints. 0 Comments

It’s starting to feel like fall (in San Francisco at least!), and Halloween candy is in stores — so it’s high time we added a pumpkin-Halloween-fall-harvest theme to our PosePrints designs.  Introducing our Pumpkins card:

Halloween Stationery with Pumpkins

{Children’s Halloween Stationery & Invitations}

The Pumpkins design features five cute, bright orange pumpkins and black type.  Our other fall design is the Autumn Leaves card — perfect for unique, fall-themed Save-the-Dates, Thanksgiving stationery and cute holiday hostess gifts.

We have yet to add a lot of costumes to our options (coming soon!), but for now you can “dress up” your caricature as a princess. ;)

The Bubble Necklace

I’m not the trendiest girl around, but who could miss the mega-popular “bubble necklace” that has taken the fashion world (or, at least, my Facebook and Pinterest feeds) by storm?!  We decided to add a couple of versions of the bubble necklace to the PosePrints site  — so your custom stationery can be as cute and trendy as possible!

Bubble Necklace Personalized Stationery

We added a turquoise and yellow gold bubble necklace and a pink and silver version (see above!) to the PosePrints Girl, and, as always, we can change the color to anything you request when you place your custom stationery order.

Are there any other fashions you would like to see added to any of the PosePrints caricatures?  Just let us know — we love your emails and suggestions!

 

Washington DC Design

Published on August 21, 2012 in PosePrints. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , .

We just added a new design to the PosePrints website: the Washington DC card!

Washington DC Save-the-Date Card{Washington DC Save-the-Date}

Washington DC Stationery{Washington DC Personal Stationery}

Washington DC Skyline Stationery{Washington DC Skyline Cards for the President & First Lady ;) }

The Washington DC card features the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument, the Capitol Building and the White House (with American Flag atop!).  The DC skyline is in a light gray, but we can change the color for you upon request, free of charge.  Customize the Washington DC design for custom Save-the-Dates, stationery gifts, personal stationery sets, and party invitations!

You’ll also notice that with the couple card, only the White House is displayed, and with a one-person card, only the Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument and Capitol Building appear.  If you have a specific DC monument you would like to be displayed, we can move the skyline around for you.  Just let us know!

One of my Thirty While 30 goals was to throw a party with “Pinteresty party details” — and I’d like to think I checked it off the list with PosePrints’ Anniversary Party!  From the overall theme to the stationery favors to the custom cupcakes, we personalized the party to PosePrints as much as possible.  Check out some of our party details in the photos below!

Modern Bridal Faire

Published on July 31, 2012 in PosePrints. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , , , .

My mom and I are headed back to our hometown of Pleasanton, California for the Modern Bridal Faire this Sunday, August 5th!

We’ve been wanting to exhibit PosePrints at a Pleasanton bridal show for awhile now (I grew up in Pleasanton and lived there until I left for college, and my mom lived there for 25+ years), so we’re thrilled it’s finally here!  We’ll be exhibiting all of our custom caricature wedding products at the show: Save-the-Date Cards, Save-the-Date Magnets, Rehearsal Dinner Invitations, Thank You Notes, Couples Wedding Shower Invitations, Bridal Shower Invitations, Bachelorette Party Invitations, Wedding Tags, and Wedding Ceremony Programs.

If you know any newly engaged brides and grooms attending the Modern Bridal Faire, please let them know about PosePrints’ booth!  We can’t wait to meet everyone — and see some familiar Pleasanton faces, too!

DIY Photo Booth

Published on July 25, 2012 in Crafts, My Life and PosePrints. 0 Comments

One of my favorite details of PosePrints‘ 5th Anniversary Party was the photo booth.  And thankfully (especially after the hours — seriously, hours! — of crafting I put into it), it was a hit with the guests, too!

I modeled the custom photo “booth” backdrop after our logo:

To make it, I picked up a piece of white foam board that measured about 4′ x 6′ and taped a big blue circle to the center.  I cut a “perfect” circle from blue poster board, using a make-shift compass (stick + pen + tape):

I printed out the “PosePrints” in bright pink ink, cut out each of the letters, then taped them above the blue circle.

I then printed out a bunch of PosePrints’ caricature accessories on 110-lb. cardstock, and cut them out:

Then I taped 12″ wooden skewers to the backs of the accessories.  We had PosePrints’ eyes, glasses, cupcakes, martini glasses, smiles, mustaches, flowers and crowns for the photos.

I’ll be posting more pics of our party to our Facebook page soon, so make sure you like our page to see what other creative touches we came up with!
