Rad Grads Custom Unique Graduation Announcements

1. {Social Collection} Hampton University Graduation No. 1 // These custom graduation announcements for a Hampton University student were customized with layering & an added blue crystal embellishment. We flat printed both the main card & the reception card on First Snow metallic card stock & layered them over a metallic blue Lapis card stock. This included a First Snow envelope printed with their return address & guest addresses.

2. {Social Collection} CSULB Graduation No. 2 // Soleil Garcia contacted us about creating her graduation announcements for her graduation from California State University Long BeachThis suite included a separate card for the dinner party after the ceremony. We decided a pocket fold in the Black Linen would be perfect. We had the schools emblem custom printed in gold thermography to create an authentic feel. Thermography is a step-up from flat printing & can provide textural results that really create elegance.

3.{Social Collection} University of Michigan Graduation No. 1 // These custom invitations for a student at the University of Michigan truly turned out clean & pristine. We flat printed the main announcement card & created the illusion of layering by printing the borders. Then, we printed the envelopes with the return address & guest addresses. Having the school emblem really sophisticated this announcement & added the scholarly recognition for the milestone achievement.

{Custom} Pink & Silver Chandelier Destination Wedding Invitations

with one comment

Lauren & David wanted a detailed & special invitation for their summer destination wedding, set on the shores of Honolulu, Hawaii. Lauren had one thing on her mind; Pink! Pink was the primary color throughout the entire invitation design, mixed in with metallic silvers & shimmery whites. We printed a custom Pantone pink in thermography on shimmery white paper, & combined it with digital printing to convey an elegant invitation that connected to the venue. A pink chandelier was featured on the invitation, the response card & a smaller version of the chandelier, in black, was featured on the return flap of the metallic silver outer envelopes. The overall feel of the invitations was a soft & elegant design, all tied together with a thick pink double-satin bow that served as a beautiful gift when their guests received the invitations.

The main invitation card held so many tactile qualities starting with the raised ink printing (thermography) & by adding a pink layer behind the main invitation card that was centered in an Envelopments pocket fold. We added a custom patterned layer card inside the pocket of the pocket fold which was such a delicate surprise once the elements were removed. The response card was completely functional by making it a postcard that their guests could easily slip into the post & didn’t require an additional envelope.

On an additional card, we created a map that would help guests navigate around the island to all the available attractions & below included a schedule for the weekend’s wedding events to help guests keep all the important information together and portable. Hooray for pocket folds!

{Custom} Quinceañera Invitations with Swarovski Crystals

Verizon Presents My Fabulous Quince

I had an awesome opportunity this year to work on a fantastic event hosted by Verizon.  My Fabulous Quince is an event presented by Verizon where one lucky winner receives an all expense paid party to celebrate their Quinceañera with 200 guests. This year’s event took place in October with a live performance by International Pop/R&B star Jay Sean.

Quinceañera Invitations with Swarovski Crystals in Long Beach, California
In the Latin culture, a Quinceañera is the celebration of a girl’s fifteenth birthday. This birthday is celebrated differently as it marks the transition from childhood to being a young woman. Although I never celebrated my Quinceañera, it has been something around me since childhood as my mother was born in Venezuela & her family is from Nicaragua. This truly was a special event to participate in and I am sure the lucky winner Dioselyn was equally excited!
