It may be below freezing here in Austin, but I have springtime on my mind. More specifically, spring weddings. As part of my early 2014 new product release, I introduced two new wedding cards.
First, the Happy Wedding Date Dotted Heart card features my own hand-lettering and hand-drawn dots. I love the turquoise green and pink palette.
Next, the Wedding Bouquet card has instantly become my new favorite. The idea for this card - a bride holding a large bouquet of flowers - was stuck in the back of my head, and it was such a relief to finally get it out on paper!
I think it makes a great card for a wedding or bridal shower. I chose a soft pastel palette for the flowers and used a light pink background to help the body stand out. On Instagram I shared the original bouquet ink drawing alongside the final product.
You can shop both wedding cards here.
I'm excited to share a sneak preview of our new releases for Spring 2013. There are cards for Easter, graduation, Mother's Day, and Father's Day, as well as new love, birthday, and thank you cards. I'm so excited for the launch of this collection and worked really hard to come up with unique, whimsical, bold designs that jump off the paper.
The new releases will be online soon. Retailers can view a digital lookbook of the new collection here.
One of the best parts about my job is getting to play around with different color combinations. I could spend all day pairing colors! New York Fashion Week is in full force and Pantone just released its spring 2013 color report.

I'm loving these color choices - a mix of muted pastels and eye-popping bolds. I'm a little surprised to not see any pinks in the mix here. Here are some of my favorite looks from the runway mixing up these spring colors.
