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!

{Custom} No. 10 Save the Dates: Blue Mehndi Regalia

with 2 comments

When I work with Trini of NOZZA Studio, she always comes up with the best concept directions. I love bringing her ideas to life with design. I have been lucky to work with her on several projects. I want to share them all with you and here is one to start.

No. 10 Invitation Save the Dates Black and Blue

These custom Save the Dates were created for Illia & Evan to announce their upcoming wedding at [seven-degrees] in Laguna Beach, California. We wanted the Save the Date to be a bit more playful and used the mehndi design from the Regalia collection. We printed on gorgeous metallic card stock and used a vibrant blue envelope.

No. 10 Invitation Save the Dates Blue and Black

We used Envelopments artwork and products. A gorgeous cobalt blue envelope with a mehndi Regalia embellishment peeking through were perfect elements for this Save the Date using an adorable photo of the couple was photographed by Henry Chen Photography. The couple is holding up the 8, 7 and 10 playing cards! Printed on No. 10 size metallic card stock.

{Semi-Custom} Optional Upgrades to Signature Collection Invitations

with one comment

For any of my Signature Collection Suites, I can customize the colors, wording and fonts without any additional charge. Sometimes, you just want something a little extra. No worries. The options are endless. Some upgrades can include a more unique paper option. Some paper options include, linen, cotton (100% tree-free–great for letterpress or flat printing), recycled or seed paper, card board, metallic, vellum or even fabric! Different printing techniques would need to be used, but, almost anything is possible!

Past Tense: Ornate Wedding Invitation on Shimmer Paper Gold and Pink

This ivory shimmer stock jazzed up the design even more.This client also wanted to use the same elements on the invitation that were seen on the Save the Date. Not a problem.

Adding layers is another great idea to create depth and gradation. Using colored stock as a backer card creates a gorgeous frame to the invitation design.

Adding the backer card creates durability to the invite that instantly makes it feel thicker.

The embellishments are endless. Whether adding ribbon, crystal buckles, rhinestone accents or feathers, I can help you. What ideas do you have to make your invitations stand out from the crowd?
