{Styled Chic} Branding Tip No. 6
Repetition Is Key
Repetition is key. Research has proven this.
Research has also suggested consumers must encounter your brand seven to twelve times before they’re ready to purchase.
So put yourself in front of your target audience over & over again. Repetition is key!

{Custom} 30th Birthday Card
I have known Christina since late middle school and it is amazing to think of the time that has passed. Christina just celebrated her 30th birthday and I wanted to make a special card to celebrate this milestone.I think she loved it!
These use a leaf green petal enclosure and tied it with a smooth chocolate satin brown ribbon.
I paired it with a chocolate-brown square envelope with button and tie string closure and a custom matching mailing label.
A delicious birthday treat that also reads, “Let her eat birthday cake” inside. Printed on metallic Ecru Micah raised and layered over a Bronze metallic card stock.

{Custom} Bar Mitzvah Invitations
Most of the invitations I design are for weddings. I love weddings and designing amazing stationery sets for them is my passion. But when I get a chance to design something outside of my comfort zone, I jump at the challenge. I was contacted my Dan Hart to create his daughter Madeleine’s bar mitzvah invitations; and he needed them pretty fast. Once we met, finalized the designs and we got the printing rolling. The final outcome was divine.
They wanted to incorporate thermography into the printing as well. Which even though we needed it rush, my printer worked with me to get them ASAP. I love having wonderful vendors to work with! All of the type on the front of the invitation is in a bright blue thermography. Thermography is raised ink which creates a fantastic tactile surface. You can’t help but rub your fingers over it.
For this project I used Envelopments design elements, which worked perfect for Madeleine. Using elements from the Kaleidoscope collection really created something that is fun, fresh and not stuffy, which is exactly what the Hart family wanted for these. Madeleine chose a bright color combo of Chartreuse green and Tibetan blue which she pulled from the painting by Madeleine’s grandfather, Allen M. Hart, that they wanted to incorporate. To save on paper we printed the painting on the back of the main invitation card. This painting has such vibrant colors it all worked perfectly together.
We decided to print on a smooth ecru stock and printed on matching ecru envelopes. We included a custom map and directions for guests to help with attending the event.

{TWC} The Wedding Clique
When I was asked by Trini of NOZZA Studio if I wanted to be a part of The Wedding Clique, I was thrilled. TWC is Your One-stop Everything Wedding Shop that offers wedding planning resources.
One of the unique concepts TWC has is to shoot video footage in a section title Clique TV where tips and ideas are shared for questions couples have about their upcoming event. With that we decided to do video introductions of the members of TWC. Check out my video under my About section!
