Heather & Eoin's "Irish Ivy" Save-the-Date

Heather and Eoin wanted an Irish themed save-the-date. I wanted to design a unique Irish look using ivy, rather than the usual clovers. I've also always wanted to use the calendar idea, so this was the perfect time to do so. At first, I had their wedding date "2" colored in the teal, but then had the idea of using an ivy leaf to highlight it. I love the playful font, which also mocks the shape and movement of the ivy.

Lauren & Michael O'Brien's Wedding Day


I LOVE giving a wedding its own brand! Listed above are Lauren and Michael's wedding day materials: tri-fold wedding program, seating chart and description sign. They wanted everything to match their paisley invitation design. Lauren and Michael even got their cake designer to match the invites! The amazing wedding photos on top were taken by Jasmine Morgan Photography.

Talk about a uniquely beautiful wedding! Congrats to Mr. & Mrs. O'Brien!

Eco 911! Logo


I worked with Honey Child Pictures, a boutique film and TV company, to redesign their logo for a web-based educational TV series for kids called Eco 911! -- a new approach to informal STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education. They really wanted to incorporate the STEM symbols within the logo so that people would really understand the whole concept with one glance. I kept the symbols simple and clean like the font and used a bright blue which I thought complimented the lime green perfectly.




Version 2

This was a runner up choice. They wanted to try having a nature symbol, so I placed this plant symbol within the title, using the same font, but changing the colors to brown and green.

Lauren & Michael - "Paisley" Wedding Set




I designed this wedding invitation set for my cousin Michael and his soon-to-be wife Lauren. I had mocked up a handful of looks for them to chose from for the invite, using their colors of black, white and green, and they decided on this fabulous paisley design. Then, I carried the look throughout the reception and reply cards, as well as the envelope. I used my new favorite font, which resembled the paisley shapes so well.

Of course I had to incorporate their wedding date in the design 1.1.11. How awesome is that date?!

"I just wanted to say THANK YOU for the amazing invites!!! They are so wonderful and we both truly appreciate it!"

"Black & White Garden" Bridal Shower Invite


My aunt had me make this bridal shower invitation for her son Michael's (my cousin) soon-to-be wife Lauren. I used her wedding colors black, white and light green to create this lovely "garden." I loved playing with the font on this invite — especially having the "bridal shower" bleed off the top.

Lauren and Micah


Well, I had fun making all my sister's wedding stationery materials. The wedding was a blast! I can't believe it's all over. I had to post a picture of the happy couple and this awesome bridal party shot taken by her amazing photographer Jason Angelini. Congrats Lauren and Micah!

Monogram


My sister Lauren had Events in Bloom arrange her gorgeous flowers. They used the extra monograms I made for the wedding invitations to wrap around the vases and candles. The monograms definitely gave it that special extra touch.

Cake Flavor Sign



How amazing is my sister Lauren's cake?! The company used my invitation design for inspiration, using purple butterflies and green vines/leaves. It was just gorgeousnot to mention DELICIOUS!

Also, Lauren had the idea of having a cake flavor sign, so I made it match the invites as well.

Wedding Ceremony Program



I made my sister's wedding program match her invitation elements. It was bit of a challenge to fit all the type on letter-sized paper! I love the script font used for the couple's message on the front.

Aidan's Star Wars Birthday Invite


It was fun switching gears from wedding designs to children designs with this invitation for my cousin Jackie's son Aidan's 6th birthday party. Aidan wanted a Star Wars/Darth Vader themed party where his friends could dress up for Halloween. I had fun researching Star Wars fonts, images and terminology!

"Great job on the invites Krista - got sooooo many compliments!"
- Jackie

"Peace of Silver" Logo


I designed this logo for jewelry company Peace of Silver. The owner Katie wanted to incorporate peacefulness with the tree and birds. She also wanted to use these 2 colors and an owl. I love how the font's shapes and movements match that of the tree branches.

"Vintage Spoons" - Wedding Rehearsal Dinner Invite


This was a fun vintage rehearsal dinner invite I made for my sister's soon-to-be mother-in-law. I started out with the spoons and then came up with the monogram. From there I had the vision of keeping it one color and printing it on an off-white paper. I found this card stock with an embossed border which worked perfectly for the vintage look. The cool antique font also worked so well.

Once I was about done designing the card, it crossed my mind to print the spoons on the front of the envelopes for that extra touch. I love these spoons!
