New Years Cards

Can you believe it's April and I'm designing New Year's Cards for 2016 already?! I just moved cross-country (from Cali to Philly) and haven't even settled in yet, so I was really not ready for the holiday design season! But, I did find some last-minute inspiration and came up with a few entries to submit to Minted's New Year's challenge. Voting is now open for this contest until Monday, May 4th at 10am (Pacific Time). You can help me out by rating my designs on the gallery challenge page or just click on the links below. :)

Holiday Inspiration Boards

The holiday shopping season is just revving up and I'm super excited to have a collection of holiday cards and products for sale at Minted.com this year! So, to get you in the Christmas spirit, I made inspiration boards, featuring a few of my non-photo holiday designs, Pine and Berry, Merry and Gold and Elegant Wreath. Feel free to give my boards a like or, even better, just pin them! ;) Be sure to check out the rest of Minted’s holiday card collection and gift shop.

Save the Date Cards for Minted

Things have been really busy in my little corner of the world, but I was determined to set aside 2 days to focus solely on designing cards for Minted's One True Love Save the Date Challenge. So, not as much time as I would have liked, but hoping a couple of these entries resonate with fans and customers. Voting for this contest is open until Friday, September 26 at 9am PT and you can start rating my designs on this challenge page or just click on the links below. (You can also blind vote on this page right here).  Please try and rate 50 designs or more in the challenge to keep voting fair for all. As always, thanks for checking out my work!

 

FYI: Some designs are intended to be stamped with real gold, silver or rose gold foil.

Featured Save the Date Card

Just this past week, I was super stoked to see my save the date photo card included in two lovely Minted marketing emails. The featured design, Photogenic, is available for sale on minted.com in multiple colorways as a 5"x 7" save the date card and also in a postcard and magnet format. Here's to hoping the extra marketing promotions result in a sales boost for my card! Check out the eye candy below:
