Cards & Invitations

Definitely my sweet tooth! Working with event coordinators early in my career allowed me to learn everything there is to know about designing for special events. Although I love creating all printed materials, my heart belongs to event design. ♥



Holiday dinner party invitation
Ingredients:
2 c 5-point snowflakes
1 tbsp big fancy star
1 tsp little fancy star
1 c silver lustre stock




The holiday dinner party was held by the president of UT Health for his closest colleagues. During my time there the university’s symbol was a 5-point star, and I used that image often. This gate fold card included an inside layer of silver lustre stock and an outer layer of translucent paper with snowflake images.



Shh... invitation

Ingredients:
1 c translucent paper
2 c silver lustre stock
3 tbsp lavender ribbon




The Shh... invitation was designed for a surprise dinner honoring UT Health’s president’s wife. There are three layers attached by a ribbon. The top layer is printed on translucent stock and the other two on silver stock. I hand trimmed and assembled 40+ cards with a custom envelope and reply card.



Holiday berries card

Ingredients:
1 c berries
1/4 c Adobe Garamond Italic
2 c Silver lustre stock



Working at UT Health I had the pleasure of creating holiday cards. These were for the president of the university to send out to business associates and other colleagues of his choosing. Each berry was uniquely created and used in additional holiday materials.



No Go Gala invitation

Ingredients:
1 tbsp cat
1 tbsp takeout food
1 tbsp purple couch
1 c pure sponsorship




The No Go Gala was a mock event held as a non-traditional fund raiser. The concept was to entice donors to sponsor a scholarship and enjoy a relaxing evening at home, rather than get dolled up for a night out on the town. This successful event paved the way for future fund raisers with a similar concept.
